I knew that. But it gave me a chance to do what we call in English; ‘showing off’
. But if you ever do come to the real London, bring a bike. It’s a great way to see the city. So long as you do it at 6am!
The problem sometimes with threads like that is, once a couple of people get away with abuse, others feel it's OK to abuse too. Some of those comments are vile and no way would any of them say the same to the guy face to face, but they feel it's OK when behind a keyboard.
For me though, whilst Cameron Childs almost certainly can't do those speeds and powers and his set up may not be 'professional' he's just using the tools he has to do an exercise session on Zwift. And his Zwift account is linked to Strava so he can compare his own efforts with himself. Should he take himself out of the KOM? Maybe. But the posters should be complaining to someone/thing it is with Strava (or Zwift or Bkool for that matter) for allowing these rides to stand. These companies don't really care though how the times are made, so I don't really see how anyone else can take them too seriously either. The only set up that takes the races/times/powers seriously is Zwiftpower - every other ride/time/power needs to be taken with a pinch of salt until we all have exactly the same setup.
Life really is too short, but I do feel sorry for the abuse this guy has taken.

he could make his rides private so he keeps all his stats and saves all the aggro he is having

This.
I tend to agree with Carl but this guy was being incredibly naive or wilful about the reaction his time would cause. All of it could have been avoided if he had kept the ride private. Still, the vitriol and stupidity in some of the posts
He could, and he probably should, but he is equally within his rights to keep them open - there are no rules in Strava to say he has to, he hasn't signed a contract or is obliged to do this, so ultimately the problem is the 'system' and not this rider. I think the anger is aimed at the wrong person, and whatever this guy should or shouldn't do morally, I don't think he deserves some of the vile comments he's received.

Basically the guy Cameron is a bit silly / very naive. The mob are a depressing reflection of a facet of human nature / some of the people we share our hobby with.... nothing more to see here...

I hope it' not going on a trainer. That' a C64 carbon. It' the way Colnago have always done the joints.

A high end Colnago has always been on my wish list, but since the busted spine I'm going nowhere near a road any longer. The wish has changed to a Hope HB160
