taking advantage of a tail wind

[david k]

lol, im sure thatll catch on

personally I think a spinney would be better as it would rise above the hedges and be more controllable + I'm not a fan of tacking in traffic

why does it need peddles?

anything thats not blowing either down or up the lane isn't too much of an issue round here as we have devon banks (about 2-4 foot of earth with another 4+ foot of hedge on top) which block almost all the wind, gates were great fun though

Works in deep water too - happily pedalling through the floods a couple of winters ago, and the forces changed quite a lot when I got to gates.

Because they cannae sell it ;-)

When there is allegedly a wind in my favour, I do not recognise it as such.

The fact that all my best times to and from anywhere are posted when I am allegedly assisted by a tailwind is pure coincidence... nothing more.

Tailwinds are fantasy... the critical factor is my skill as a cyclist and the hard work I put in at all times.

Headwinds, of course, do exist.

Even when no-one else can feel them they slow me down terribly on days whan I post poor times.

No other posts necessary on this thread.

My word is final.
