35mm film resolution tops out around the equivalent of 18 megapixels - and that is for ISO 50 film. Obviously the lens quality etc has a lot to do with the…"

Rideable winter visualisation June 4th 2013
A fun experiment to see how Sydney cyclists ride to work in the winter.
Winter can be tough - but in Sydney we're pretty lucky. Can factors like daylight savings, colder weather, rain and darker mornings affect peoples route decisions and…
Martin Turner replied to Gus K's discussion Spectacular winter's day for cycling in Adelaide"Overcast and cool in Darwin today. Stuck in a hotel out at the airport until Sunday while they move the rig I'm working on. No bike so have had to make do with sessions on the treadmill in the hotel gym and walks around the block."

pete davis replied to Gus K's discussion New arterial road bicycle crossings in Adelaide"How about a cyclist / pedestrian bridge at the bottom of the track on the South Eastern freeway , or will they wait till someone is killed crossing over there .

How about a cycle lane on the…"

Pele Ton said… Pleased to see you enjoying yourself in Barmera. Nice quiet place to ride. But your right not many hills. Those magpies have been there for years, I go a different way to avoid them.

Loc Nguyen said… Hello Gus,
Firstly thanks for building such an awesome community. Whilst it doesn't show it from my limited posts, the Adelaide Cyclist website is one of my favourite cycling specific websites. Its great to meet, albeit briefly the creator.
Also thanks for the tips and kind encouragements. I'm taking your advice on board and will be intending to ride as much hills as time permits so I can be in shape for the 2nd edition of the "bakers dozen".Cya out there on the road.

Why should you get professional cycling coaching?
Cricket and footy teams have a coach to watch them play and golf clubs have a resident pro who helps player’s swing and approach to the game so why shouldn’t cyclists who are serious about improving their riding, keeping up with their mates or perhaps the occasional race, have a coach?
Last week I wrote about my fitness…

Forgive me, it's been 9 months since I last blogged.

Others lost 5kgs or more kilos but I only made a small dent in my last 5gks. It was very obvious, however, that any weight-loss results in increased climbing…
