What was the result?
Ollie's aero haircut 🙂
Can't find the video, please give link in shorts
Endless money, buy electric.
I dont wanna break it out to him, but he is not aero dynamic at all 😢
Probably don’t make any difference at all, by the look of him and sound of him struggle even before entering a hill
But not by much…
Without getting caught.
Lol… there are no shortcuts…
There's surely a psychological effect that leads to more effort on a better bike. Apart from that, should be easy to just calculate the speed per watt increase.
The new tt bikes will make almost anybody faster $$$$$.
Buy a recumbent. Just ask Hank.
His zipper is open.
If you want to get fit, ride an old steel touring bike! Rides can be shorter and you’re not pissing off as many people in cycle paths by riding so fast.
or you can "spend" your cycling budget by skipping work and going for a 5 hour ride
"An Average Man"😂😂😂
Lol he probably got like 5% faster

Where is the video?
Unzipped fly is awesome😅
Faster this faster that” real world u wouldn’t go any faster on a bike today as if from the bikes in the 86 TDF, the difference was only 2.2 mph from 86 TDF to 2024 TDF, the 86TDF was 322 miles longer and bikes weighed 18/19 lbs. All marketing, to get you to buy bikes that cost stupid prices……….
I'm a student on a budget, my question is the exact opposite
Without spending over 10hours of my week in gym & saddle, how much can I improve on a random hybrid bike my dad bought me 7 years ago 😂
Damn, they really just sent him up a hill with a 1x TT bike.
