There have been tons of posts on "...help with bike choice...", "...don't buy this brand because
they weigh 98.765 kilos..." etc.
Let's put the record straight. It's the legs that count. Your legs propel the bike. OK, it has to be
half decent but that's all.
I have proof.
Back in the early 90's I used to do time trials on the A4 near Thatcham (before they put roundabouts
all the way along it).
A load of us had fancy low profile bikes with teeny weeny tubs and massive chainrings. You know the
stuff. We drove there. Spent ages rubbing oily stuff on our legs and then did mediocre times before
packing all the stuff back in the motors.
But there was this bloke.
He used to cycle down from Kingston on an old Raleigh racer with bog standard wheels etc. He'd do
the ten. Do a 22 and stuff us all. Then cycle back.
