Saw someone using a TT bike on their commute home in london at rush hour. Seen him before but it was in traffic so didn't get much footage.

Aero bike, aero bum bag now where did he put that aero helmet?

I need one of those, LOL!

love the bit where you overtake him and then suddenly you look behind you and he pops into the frame - comedy moment! All he needed to do was wave and say hello.

i alway commute on my TT bike theres nothing wrong with it!! i find i can get more power down when im riding my TT bike than i can do with the winter bike

hmmm i'm not so sure there is any point of doing it in london. to much stopping and starting.

If someone is using their TT bike for a commute, it may well be that they are experimenting with positioning of saddle/tribars to get their own positioning *just right* for the forthcoming season.

or maybe he just has a TT bike and likes to ride it

i ride my TT bike EVERYday and its never to do with getting my postion "just right" looking at his bike it seems old so i dont think he would be to concerned about his TT position. plus he seemed pritty aero anyway

<stupid question> Are the levers on the end of aero bars just for gears, or are there brakes there too? </stupid question>

Also, Gaz, what software do you use to output your vids?

 

[BentMikey]

Gears.

gears are on the aerobars and the brakes are on the flat bars (or bull bars)
