Been looking at potential new bikes for over a year now. Looking for a carbon road bike with Ultegra gear. Only stipulation for me is that I don't want a black bike. Yet just about everything on the…Continue

Baron Von Thierry replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Hazardous segments in the group Strava Users"Probably because neither start from the lights and both look to be inaccurate in profile and tracking. Bout time to cull all the useless/repeated/inaccurate segments!!"
Nick Lothian replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Hazardous segments in the group Strava Users"I've noticed that recently some uphill segments on Belair Rd to Windy point have been flagged.
Eg: http://app.strava.com/segments/3515392, http://app.strava.com/segments/774440
I can't imagine the logic behind that.."
Peter Macdonald replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Hazardous segments in the group Strava Users"I lost one down Main Road after the Belair bus stop (as we usually wait for riders there) to Blackwood. The road is 60 kms down to 50km's with a bike lane on the 50km stretch."
Tim B (the running man) replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Hazardous segments in the group Strava Users"They may not necessarily have flagged them 'cause they were hazardous. I have flagged a couple of segments as they had stupid GPS data in them or had me riding at ridiculous speeds. I know there is a constant battle to keep a segment on the…"
Derek Hasel replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Hazardous segments in the group Strava Users"These people claim that they are attempting to protect the Community from danger. Too many people trying to control the actions of others. I reckon that they should just leave well enough alone. "

Hazardous segments
Anyone noticing that more and more segments are being listed as hazardous by anonymous riders?2 of my segments have recently been blacklisted yet they are fairly gentle downhill runs with KOM's well below the speed limit and with no intersections or places where a rider may break the law.As there is no right of rebuttal or even a way to remove the segment after it has been blacklisted it seems to me that if a wowser wanted to they could black ban every strava segment quite easily.See More
Peter Macdonald replied to Michael Wetherley's discussion Low Max Heart Rate good or bad????"Its all in the genetics. I'm 55 years old and can my heart up to 195bpm. On steep hills or pushing hard I can usually do 186bpm. I did 188bpm over the Hilton bridges today. It drops quickly when not pushing and my normal riding heart rate…"

Long time no see. Good to see you have progressed from Soccer to Cycling also.
Cheers

Peter Macdonald replied to Jeremy Champion's discussion Time to promote RLC again"Anyone interested in swapping a XL for an XXL.RLC jersey?
I have an XL that is way too small for me."
Peter Macdonald replied to Mike Brisco's discussion Why drivers hate cyclists."Adding to David's point. Drivers hate cyclists because we can do things they can't. Get to the front at traffic lights, ride up on the footpath to avoid the road, Take off before railway boom gates are fully up - because we can see what…"

Peter Macdonald replied to Rod's discussion Southern expressway/Amy's ride"I am surprised that the Amy Gillett foundation that sponsors safe riding is timing riders on the southern expressway. Talk about asking for trouble. This will just encourage fast and unsafe riding practices.
Also just picked up rider pack.…"
Peter Macdonald replied to Dstone's discussion What steel frames do you ride or are thinking of?"Great effort on restoration Ben. Glad to see you are enjoying the bike. I sent this to my B-in-law John Bastiras it was his bike originally and he was the one who got it chromed."
Shav Bird replied to Peter Macdonald's discussion Whats with the black bike only trend?"Personally, I love black, but too much of it can blend in and the accents of the color scheme you particularly like to show and the like can be lost.
That is the reason why a good array of colors that compliment each other is key in the design to…"

TDU challenge ride
Posted on January 17, 2011 at 21:56 4 Comments 0 Likes
Anyone else notice the odd timing of the Balhannah start at 10:30am - by the time they start all the other riders will be through. So if you start from Balhannah you will probably finish last!
Community Ride or Genocide?
Posted on December 6, 2010 at 11:27 19 Comments 0 Likes
As a cyclist of many years I have the dubious honour of having ridden in every TDU Community Ride (with all its previous names such as breakaway ride etc) One of the original 600 who rode in the first one in the Barossa. I have a rack of mostly ill-fitting jerseys to prove it. Over the early years when BikeSA organised the ride it was pretty slick, especially after the tour de inferno to Yankalilla where BikeSA got a kick up the chamois and really got their act together. Last year with 8000…
