When a video is shown of a cyclist going up a step hill and the camera angle is such that the gradient is event further exaggerated.
But the trees in the background are at an angle and give the game away.

When cyclists say "cars are boring, they all look the same".
HELLO??? Have you seen a racing bike? Double triangle, stem and drop bar. A saddle. The only real difference is the paint.
Sure there are those bikes that have slanted top tubes and dropped seat stays which are fubar.

The content of TV programs consists these days of:
A cooking program.
A house buying program.
Some form of Love Island clone.
No wonder I spend so much time on YouTube. Of course I could/should be doing something more constructive.

Often it's because I've just left the shops and forgot to take the mask off, and then I don't want to risk snagging my glasses. As It's only a few minutes from shops to apartment it's generally not worth stopping.

I forgot to take mine off at the weekend. When I got home there was a black stain on the mask where my nostrils had been. Presumably it had filtered out exhaust fume particles that would have otherwise gone into my lungs.

Masks are more aero
OK - now we need Chris Boardman to give us the wind tunnel stats
but I bet the UCI have a regulation banning them on Time Trials

I wish I had been wearing a mask last month when I rode through a swarm of insects on the towpath.

I have an amazing technique to avoid that problem ... I close my mouth ... try it ..I wish I had been wearing a mask last month when I rode through a swarm of insects on the towpath.
V. late to the party on this one, but recall that, as a child, when the tecaher said that a question would separate the sheep from the goats, I agonised over whether I should be aiming to be a sheep or a goat. To this day, I still don't know and my heart sinks to think of the teaching I lost because I was preoccupied with ovine-related matters.
