The cost of bribing offspring to cycle...

.. sigh ... it can backfire ;-)

Tonight Nathan was muttering on about his cycling and all I heard was, ".... carbon forks.... then a
skin suit .... hmmm ... carbon wheels ..... flash helmet like Millar ..."

B*gg*r.

The plus side is, of course, he wants a skin suit as opposed to b*bs ;-)

Tell him to stop whinging and get on with it! Once you are riding a racing bike as opposed to a
roughly diamond shaped drainpipe thing replacing components with carbon fibre equivalents makes FA
difference to the speed, surely?

I think it's less whinging and more of a teenage attempt at "subtle" hints. Subtle as a brick ;-) I
remember what I was like when, as a teenager, I decided there were certain "must haves"

As Lance Armstrong wrote, it's not about the bike. Which is why he rides carbon fibre everything.

You know, someday some advertiser is goingto realise that a faired recumbent is little more than a
couple of square metres of space onto which can be plastered adverts.

As soon as that happens, I think the Tour de France is going to have an awful lot of 'bents in it...
