I don't count that Santos "Festival of Cycling" thing they've had down under, but was today the first day of pro cycling? I saw the end of the GP de Marseille after the CX world champs: new kits and team abbreviations to get used to…

Yes! We should probably start a new thread. I hope this season's calendar will be able to remain somewhat unaffected.

Not sure this is the place. But I need a fold up bike for my commute. Other than the obvious (brompton) is there anything else I should look at. Dont want to pay stupid amounts.

@damagedinc

Usually the personal cycling stuff goes here:

The cycling thread
and the sporty stuff gets its own one from time to time. I think people will help you regardless though.

Just not me.

Well, I can say that I picked up a folding electrically pedal-assisted Bicycle Shaped Object from Halfords under a Cycle-to-Work scheme here in Ireland a few years back and it was great for 10k hilly commutes. You can get lucky even there. Heavy as all fuck though without the battery.

Ok, maybe me too a bit.

New bikes for everyone!

(I hope that isn't geo-blocked?)
It's in Dutch, but it's the pictures that matter, I guess.

Better than last years? I liked those. I'll have a look when I get home from work.

I'm so glad I live in Belgium. Awesome coverage for everything except the Giro and presenters that are sometimes texting (or in a rare case, calling) directly with the team cars or have a journalist on a motorcycle to go check back at the team car for their thoughts on what's happening in the race.
