Road Tacks thread?

[Boris Bajic]

What are the protocols after today's mishaps on the TdF?

Is it the done thing to start a Road Tacks thread here, or should that privilege lie only with the swivel-eyed crazies in Commuting?

I realise I may have caused some offence with my language in this post.

I got a puncture on my commute from a roof nail, back when we had the storms last winter.
Does that count?
= swivel-eyed crazy commuter Pat.

So, interested in ethics as ever, is there a moral difference between tacks evasion and tacks avoidance?

They'll find someone to pin the blame on

 

[Crackle]

I think the culprit was Vladimir Karpets, obvious in it.

Enough of this filth. Impressionable middle-aged men might be reading.

Cant see the point myself

That Europcar geezer was a bit tactless, attacking like that. Still, I guess his wheels were intact.

People are pumping out some hot air here.

Hit the nail on the head there ....

I changed the inner on my commuter this afternoon, even though it didn't have a puncture. There were no tacks involved, though, it was a sodding big lump of tree which had gone straight through the City Jet and caused a hole too big for the Slime to sort, so it's completely irrelevant here.

However, "completely irrelevant", ironically, strikes me as the most relevant way to respond.

Close passes by cars and motorbikes, people stepping off the verge into the path of oncoming bicycles, three punctures on one ride, random French people running about in their underwear.

I have so much in common with Bradley and Cadel...

...maybe apart from the underwear bit

Pierre Rode-on?

I wonder if Wiggins and Roland have patched it up yet?
