"I was too far in the back when we hit the Kanarieberg. I rode to the front, passing lots of dropped riders and suddenly I heard a girl sighing and moaning so loud you would think you were in the middle of a bad porn film if you didn’t know better. And I, the funniest as always, asked her loudly if she was about to have an orgasm. Not nice. Not funny at all. Poor child, suffering and gasping for air on the Kanarieberg – and being yelled at like that by Miss Know-It-All. I am sorry. My apologies."

Mr. E attacked in the Alps over the weekend...(I think Barkley may have gotten a bad blood bag) It is time to make Mr. E pay for the matches he has burned !!  VOTE BARKLEY !!!!

I threw another 3 votes Barkley's way

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread (off topic), but explosions at the finish of the Boston Marathon.. 
Watching the video now.  Big explosions.  They're reporting 2 deaths.  Nasty, nasty stuff.  My colleague's husband works for NYPD and just got called back to work. . . 
fucking cowards!
Was checking out road-results.com to see what it's saying about upcoming races.

Check out my Top Victims. LOL.

Any chance we'll see this in NYC:

A sat-nav system which warns lorry drivers when they are approaching roads where they are most at risk of hitting a cyclist has been unveiled.

. . .
Her death prompted the mayor, Boris Johnson, to discuss banning heavy goods vehicles (HGV) from the capital unless they were fitted with cycle safety equipment.

Of course, this comes from a capital with congestion pricing. NYC would not want to restrict the flow of commercial vehicles, or any one else considered to have privilege, now would they?
And then there is this:

However, Volvo recently unveiled a more active approach to the problem.

The Chinese-owned vehicle manufacturer has announced an update to its pedestrian detection radar system which will also identify cyclists. If a collision is anticipated the system sounds an alarm and automatically deploy the breaks

This one is especially shitty since it's right at the beginning of the intersection.

This one was even shittier because a cyclist got hurt.  And of course, the driver got off scot-free

Cooling down after a ride, not necessary?? My world just got turned upside down. (Although the article says it doesn't hurt to cool down)
