A lot of the bikes are carbon wheels now, and you don't have as good a braking surface on a carbon wheel in the wet weather as you do on the old aluminium rims.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.
Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.
I love cars, but I love bikes more.
I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.
I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it.
I have a road bike and a mountain bike, and I tend to use them both a lot. They help you keep your balance and your stamina.
I'm not a fan of chrome wheels. I sort of like brushed, brushed steel, more European style.
They do say now in cycling that there's no such thing as bad weather - it's bad clothing.
I had beautiful bikes and I was really into it. I just thought it was really glamorous.
With bikes, it is absolutely the case that you will get what you pay for. Invest in quality so it will endure wear and tear.
