Whatever the details, it's a real tragedy and chilling stuff.
We need to wait for whatever full report / court case before confirming anything.
However, as others are saying this is why routines and checks are vital on these things, and not left to human chance.

Replied to the topic Not sure I will get through this one
Just spotted your reply.
For me I found therapy didn't work at all - I just ended up focusing on the problems even more but I appreciate it works for many.
I'd try and find new stuff to do - new hobby, classes, walking groups etc. Something to shift your focus elsewhere.
Not sure how you are f...

Replied to the topic Cycling glasses for the large melon
I've found Melon Alleycats really good, but my current faves are Dirtlej Photchromics, which were a half price bargain - and I know they're good, because i don't find myself taking them off, which in turn means I haven't lost them yet (I'm down two pairs of Alleycats)

Rock looks amazing though

Even at go ape, it seems to be standard (or was a decade+ back) for one person to get you in the harness and the second person to verify it!
At a site in France the heights involved are about 3x that of go ape & they just send you off on your own, instructors aren't even in view all the way ...

I've been out in Spain for the last 5 weeks and there are 1000s of miles of gravel roads and a gravel bike is definitely the tool for the job, I'm probably going to fit some Cane Creek inverts to my Fustle causeway purely because my wrists are knackered after a motorbike accident

Much as though LW's round the world attempt is an awesome effort (particularly as she's not long set the women's record and is going for the absolute) it does feel a bit odd when there are significant parts of the globe she can't safely ride across.
No-one's had a crack at LEJOG for a bit...

Yeah, and let's not forget that it's because he cocked it up during practice at Suzuka, losing control at the esses trying to match Piquet's lap-time and spun it into the barrier.
Like Piquet said; Stupid.

Couple of years back we saw a group of about 12 gravel riders very much enjoying the gravel bike friendly West Highland Way on gravel bikes - the Fort William to Kinlochleven bit (going North to South).

There's some chap on YouTube who's just done the WHW on a Brompton*
*G-line, but still. And he had some sort of shoulder harness arrangement for the inevitable portage.
