Well, well... I would rather say that there are no unisex bikes. It's sad that the girls also started to ride the bike with male frame. Only to act like men. I would recommend to THEM (to the maleish bitches) this granite saddle. :P

They started to ride male frames because there were no frames for girls.

It's fashion now to ride male frames for women. Maybe that's the reason why the bike producers don't really tend to construct bikes with a female frame. But for a really feminine girl, who likes to ride a bike, it's still available to search for a bike designed for women.

I will see what we can do, I know we can improve the biking safe.
Some months ago, here was happening several assaults to cyclists in Curitiba, then we organized a protest. We congregated more than 400 cyclists and closed the highway. We called the TV periodical. After that never had assaults again. I think we can do something like that again, protesting for safer biking.

my fastest is in a race, but i never logged it.
one stupid thing is to watch carefully the odometer reaching the peak speed... this is stupid, it will make somebody die someday... i watched carefully my odometer reach 72 this year :)
but now I stopped bike season and started american football training. first match in the end of april!!! I'll post a pic of me in a complete football equipment soon.
The next of the one hundred things i have to do before I die is to buy a recumbent bike and tour.
we don't need protests against cars, they already won. the road is a jungle with no policemen and no laws, the top of the feeding chain is the truck and the bottom is the cyclist. and everybody will tell you that: surprisingly, to survive, the cyclist must live like the early mammals: at night with lights. cars at night are soooooo much nice with cyclists! they always slow down and respect the famous one meter and half to overtake you!!!
I dont have any lessons to car drivers, or to cyclists, my own experience was to apply permanent survival rules directed in preventing: hitting a pedestrian (in the feeding chain, our only prey with dogs and flies) and sustain a car hit. here is a r?sum?:
1. trust nothing else than YOUR TWO HANDS ON THE BRAKE LEVERS. speed is life.
2. trust no car lights choose the worst scenario. cemetaries are full of good guys choosing the most optimistic scenario.
3. MAKE EYE CONTACT or turn your head to the car CROSSING your path. because cars crossing your path NEVER SEE YOU because of this STUPID and well known dead angle... brakes if the guy is looking elsewhere, brakes if he is on the phone AND looking at you, brakes, brakes, brakes on every intersection. brakes!
4. think about it: You'll never know from which direction came the hit that killed you... your neck muscles are enough to turn your skull but too weak to resist a brutal deceleration, your head banging on the road IS ALWAYS the fatal wound. WEAR AN HELMET. its not hot, its not heavy its not expensive and you penetrate the air better with an helmet than without.
5. SHOUT ON ALL DANGEROUSLY WANDERING PEDESTRIANS SHORT AND LOUD from a distance (I personally love the international agressive OH!). Prefer to tell them jokes in the ambulance?
6. When you suit up, think you can DIE today if you don't THINK SECURITY OVERALL.
7. be responsible for 'em: they are not responsible on the road, they are kids playing a car game. you are dying if you dont take the responsability for them, for the security of everybody.
8. situational awareness and speed control is the key to cross the red lights. slow down, refresh your situational awareness with sounds, visual and seventh sense signals... check for policemen, CROSS IT! you can if they dont catch you. you are a biker. an hells angel.
9. you are the bottom of the feeding chain: think DEFENCE. never think agression. think agression with a car, or a truck. or a m62 abrahams TANK...
10. the only menace left is the dangerous and ephemere transitional state between a car driver and a pedestrian: the CAR DOOR OPENER. it can hurt. dont listen the car horns following you riding in the middle of the road aside a lane of stationed cars. respect a one meter range between the stationed cars and your right shoulder. if you dont, that car door opening will be so fast that 30% time you will hit the floor. ten car horns is not that disturbing. hitting the floor can kill you.
P.S. if the shit gets thick, remember that "ces connards de mal bais?s en voiture" don't they argue a lot with a bike rider smiling at them.

I'm not a big biker, although I really like to ride my bike. My speed record is 73.0 km/h not too far from Kazincbarcika on a slope.
Btw Usrin and me we did a 88km long hilly bike trip to Zabar (the coldest valley in Hungary), with an average of 19.2 km/h (including a 2-3 km long offroad trip next to Saj?n?meti, when we had to face with very muddy conditions). The pictures will be uploaded onto my site in a few days.
It's a pity that all my friends abandoned riding their bike, so I have to go alone in almost all of the cases. I'm really glad if Usrin comes and rarely we can do a bike trip. :) I don't really like and I don't really dare to go alone, because there are some ferocious dogs in the surrounding villages. The furthest destination I can go to (I dare to go to) is Miskolc, via Lyuk?b?nya. Despite these I'm about to do around 1 500 bike kilometres this year.

Fortunately I didn't meet any dogs...
I think my speed record (62 km/h) is by far the weakest here... Well, there are absolutely no hills around my hometown, so I haven't get used to these high speeds, and perhaps I'm too careful when sometimes I bike in the mountains. But I'm afraid that Alain's words are even more true in Hungary...

I did 15000km last year.
my daily distance record is 245km, with on average of 29km/h. One trip between Curitiba - Guaratuba and came back. It was a hard return because Curitiba's altitude is approximately 950m, and Guaratuba is 0m (a beach). More than 8 hours biking ;-)

Renato, this video hurts. :)
I also like cycling but I'm not a professional of course. :) I have an old Schwinn Csepel racing bike. Nowadays I'm less active but still ride it.
Records
Top speed (flat) - 60.5 kmh
Top speed (down) - 79.4 kmh
Kilometers/year - 1773 kms
Longest trip (per day) - 95 kms
And tomorrow I'm heading for Critical Mass... :)

60 km/h on a flat road is really good :-)
I can't find my bike-key! I want so much to ride again, because the weather is finally becoming acceptable.

But I made some personal records there (on foot, so it's offtopic, sorry): 55,6 km of distance and 2930 m of altitude gain within 11 hours and 17 minutes (including about 1 hour of pauses for eating, drinking, etc.).

thats a very nice altitude gain for such a distance! You really did something there!
may I recommend you BEAC Maxi as the next step to outperform your records? :)

we are just back from great bike tour in Slovakia. It was organized as a part of "Kom?rom days", started from Kom?rno and visited several small Slovakian villages in the region. The area was very beautiful, and altough there were no mountains to climb on, the rain and the sand made the path quite tricky - but fun :)

Zak, that's a nice video! You seem like a bike tour expert so I'd like to know how many bigger bike tours you made, and how big the distances were you solved in one day, the topographics of the terrain etc. If you could make a short list of your bike tours with main distances(etappes?) and tour lenght (km/days). I ask cause I'm going to travel with a friend from Zagreb to the Adriatic see, by bike! It's about 180 kilometres, there's a big mountain complex before arriving to the coast, so I think we'll need for the tour about 3 days. It's gonna be exausting, maybe we'll never arrive so if you have some expert suggestions, they are welcome!
P.S. Nice bike Krys Toff has! :D

with a semi-skilled team (regularly biking, but not often) 80km/day on flat terrain is OK, so I guess 3 days for the 180km with mountains is just fine.
Sadly I only did only a few multi-day trips. On one day trips my records were 160km (mainly flat) and 120km (4400m uphill altitude gain), both on terrain, no paved roads.
On multi-day trips on paved road I usually headed for quite a hilly terrain and did 80-100km/day for 2-4 days.
It is important to bring some necessary tools, lots of spare food (even if you intend to eat in restaurants) and plan the accomodation always with a 'B plan' in advance. Try to avoid bags on yourself, put the weight to the bike. Hold many short breaks, and rise early, it is easier to ride in the morning and the late afternoon, the heat can be much more exhausting than the distance.

Is there at least one top dog at cycling (or swimming, it's the same) that doesn't do these kind of things? They just do it in a way it can't be discovered today, but if they check today's guys' blood in 10 years they would find everyone was doping

Of course I'm not surprised that he doped. But neither I thought that it would be uncovered - not only because he was an "American idol", but because this scandal can destroy the whole business around competitive cycling. Will anybody believe that the others, now "shocked" by the news about Armstrong, were clear? It is physically impossible to complete Tour de France without doping...

I don't think that's true about the Tour de France. Blood doping is just the extra 5-10% edge. It makes a huge difference to determine the winners, but it's far from impossible to finish the Tour de France without it.
