DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Is this the Special Olympics?

Footage of the start of a triathlon in Hyde Park - supposedly at quite a high level.

I stole the thread title from a comment made on YouTube

That is Soooooooo funny-what on earth would they be like if they joined us for a couple of beers!!

Re: Is this the Special Olympics?

Very funny

Kind of reminds me of when I first used a Hollowtech II chainset and BB - I put too many spacers on (at the advice of the shop who told me the wrong BB shell size for the frame) and my left crank came off while pedalling hard.

I was left hopping along with a crank and pedal clipped into my shoe.
