This is a link post Terrible news for all of us cyclists out there.
Wouter Weylandt died today after crashing during the Giro de Italia.
A real shame for the road cycling sport and for leisure roadies like myself. The guys that take part in these events are the reason why I bought a racer in the first place and although I was not too familiar with the Trek racing team, it's still a shock to hear of deaths in what I always percieved to be one of the less dangerous sports.
Bad times.

This is a normal post
it seems that he lost control and bailed on a downhill section at full pelt. Nasty nasty.
Thing is though, these guys, and the majority of us lowly part-time riders, don't wear much protective gear other than our lids. When I'm out on the roadie I don't really think anything of doing 40mph down a hill wearing just a jersey and shorts but coming off on tarmac is gonna have the same effect as coming off a motorbike without leathers.
He must of taken quite a hit to the head if it smashed his skull through his undoubtedly expensive helmet.

This is a normal post I'm always amazed to see cyclists in cities not wearing helmets.
Sure, you're not doing 40km/h, but the car next to you sure is.

This is a normal post Cyclists that don't wear helmets are cunts
but, I only started wearing one when I found out the hard way at 15 and ended up with several stitches. Lesson learned.

This is a normal post I started
wearing a helmet 2 years ago after I was forced to give up bikes with engines. There's nothing like a serious crash to make you consider your mortality.

This is a normal post netherlands has a obvious network of cyclepaths and in cities there is far more bike awareness
than pedestrian awareness. Also everyone cycling around town is doing so on a big heavy cobble proof cruiser which goes max 20 MPH.

However if you watch a road race in the Netherlands - they are all wearing helmets. At that speed it doesn't matter.

I've toured Netherlands extensively. I don't wear helmets in town - I sure as hell do when out of town and cruising at 20+ MPH. (I tour on a race bike with 10kg on a seat post rack)

In which case, as I don't need to know about it, I'm quite happy not to have to, and why the hell should the durty rags get to be able to sensationalize it, it's nothing we need to know, so let the celebs keep their private lives private, fuck the tabloids, I say.

This is a normal post In ultra orthodox communities like these
it is not permitted to have printed images of women. Often their faces are blanked out, rarely are they photoshopped this well, but it obviously shows you what the FEAR OF GOD does for your graphics manipulation skills.

It has been known for various communities to have a kind of one-up-manship in these stakes, many of them blotting out the faces of female babies in adverts and suchlike. The spirit behind this is, interestingly enough, not a 'this is truly what the Bible meant and you're all slacker sinners' mentality but more of a 'No it doesn't say you need to do this but we are beautifying the commandments and going one extra to show God how super super super we are and we get extra brownie points.

From Shane Meadows
"Well, The shoot is in the history books and we have set sail on the edit. Jeez we shot some footage in those four weeks. There's almost enough for 3 hours judging by the way the first hour of edited material has panned out. I'm going to tal...k to C4 about getting some more shoot/edit time etc in the hope that it can morph into a 3 parter split over 3 consecutive nights. If that doesn't come off, we will have a killer 2hr spesh, but quite how I'll get it all in to that is beyond me at the minute.

also on the cameras used for anyone interested...

We shot on 2 red cameras and used my Sony F3 on quite a lot of scenes. So three cameras at times, hence the potential for the 3 hrs! Reds look great on the screen but cacking hell they are a pain in the arse. Overheating, crashes aplenty and corrupted files. My Sony never skipped a beat baby!!!!"
