A lifelong Velominatus, the history and culture within cycling fascinates Frank (pronounced in Dutch and Flemish as “Fränk”) and, if given even the vaguest of excuses, will discuss it ad nausium. A devoted cycling aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Question? Email me.

@scaler911 Yes! Hour pursuit? Nonesense, we’d all take turns. »
@frank I was able to think through this again while on a short ride. Basically, if I was in a space ship travelling a trillion kmph, my clock in my spaceship would be ticking normally for me, but when I’d look out at @Scaler911′s clock, it would be spi… »
@george Time dilation: Moving clocks are measured to tick more slowly than an observer’s “stationary” clock. We’re moving, but the time is being measured by the stationary clock. Right? If not, I’ll say again: »
@Peter No, that just means he rode a bike. »

I went through the database and remapped everyone with Da Costa and updated the scoring. And I say again – and take note because we have serous prizes on offer for the Tour – check your mappings proactively. I am not going to be this patient about this d… »

@Nate Wow that is a beauty. We obviously teamed up with the right publisher – this arrived in the mail for us today. »
@Pedale.Forchetta Gorgeous! Where is that? »
@Marcus The fastest line on this track is the red line on the straights and then cut across to the black line on the bank. Fucking terrifying track until you get used to it. »
Report coming Wednesday, but this is how I celebrated on Saturday And proof of the thorough recovery session afterwards. »

@the Engine Either you’ve gotten really good at photoshop or you’ve lost some weight. Probably caused by the acquisition of the book - spontaneous dropping of one stone was part of the design concept. »

Everything has to be perfect. Bonts scrubbed in soapy water, cleats re-lubed, and dried overnight. I can’t imagine anything more cruel than looking at dirty shoes for an Hour. »

My oh my oh my that is fine looking book…It was laying on the table in the light yesterday evening and I couldn’t resist taking a shot of it! »
@Ron Yeah, mate – dead on. Most shoes are built like tubes, and really the only way to get your feet stable is to lock them down. Bont is the only shoe I know of that designs their shoe to hold your foot really firmly without needing to snug it down. Its… »
