Cycling Videos Megathread **Do not quote videos**

Le Tour Yorkshire released this promo the other day.
It's quite stunning.
Mute it, if over dramatic music grates on you.
Cover your eyes at all the coastline shots, routes don't go anywhere near Robin Hood's bay or Hull/ Humber bridge.
Smile that they got a whippet in at the end, aaah.

Doubt anybody remembers but I posted a long while back that I was having problems with my bottom bouncing around when my cadence is high. I'm actually still having that problem. Using fixed gear spinning bikes is gradually helping, but this seems like a really good solution -

Been trying these in the office - getting some very strange looks as I head to the kitchen for a coffee ...

How are they advanced? They're takes on the most basic yoga moves, Warrior 1 and Downward Dog.

Some serious handling. Some serious balls too.

Not that I know anything about the sport but that's one serious thing of beauty, that performance.

The video doesn't even do the track justice. Here are some photos.

Man, from those photos - that sport is absolutely nuts. Think I'll stick to the road.

How did Bauge stay up?! The effort he put into to countering everything dragging him down to his right - something else.

This is from this years Megavalanche race, it's 45 minutes long and riveting to watch, would love do this in a couple of years. Check the comments for a link to a different view of the high speed collision he has with another rider at 3.40

Any rich boardsies who'd like to finance my suicide mission please pm me!

Scrappy600

Always wrecks my head to see and hear lads shouting 'rider' expecting to be let past. It's a bloody race, as the one passing it's your responsibility to do it safely. Any other discipline will tell you the same. I'd have shouted 'go f**k yourself ' every time he started roaring. If there's no room to pass why should the rider have to stop his race just to let him past?

AstraMonti

it's more of a common courtesy to someone faster than you, it's happening in cyclocross as well.

Scrappy600

But thats just the thing, courtesy belongs on spins but not in races, if you're faster get past where there's room, do it safely, and stop expecting the world to make way for you and race! In most cases I am the slower rider and if I know I'm badly holding someone up I will let them by but when they come barreling down a trail shouting from fifty feet away expecting Moses parting the Red Sea they can get fu**ed!

Riveting? terrifying more more like! love the dude in jeans mixed in with everybody else in protective gear, he's like a commuter who found himself mixed up in a race

Rambling Man

Did he mention he had no gears?

That made me chuckle alright, sure if he can do it in jeans surely if I buy the right gear I have a fighting chance?

Getting into the Christmas spirit... plus a few shots of Irish corner.

It's all about the bike. Anyone could do that stuff with a Colnago - it's very responsive.

Ashton injured himself back in September, paralysed from the waist down, hence why he needed the help, not sure if it's permanent or not, but wishing him a speedy recovery, these videos are a joy to watch.

Just innocent humour, not sarcastic or being a troll.

Seen this on pinkbike today, a short (sub 6 mins) documentary about Tom Wheeler, a downhill racer who lost the power in his right arm during a race in 2012, and his journey to getting back on a bike. Great determination if you ask me.
