Phil Atwill Returns to Propain on 'Free Athlete' Program
Glad someone else picked up on 'stroking cats'...
Yeah, sure Phil. I'm sure you mean 'cats'.

@BMG: But you still CAN, they're not letting citizens of any other country in, except under special circumstances. (I'm a Brit living here)

Everything you need to know - unless you're a Kiwi, you can't get there right now. Sucks to be you.

Interview: Margaux Elliott on Climbing 1 Million Feet in 2020
I was surprised at mine, but I guess I shouldn't be - I spent the year in Nelson, NZ and there's no off season here and I coach, so 'ride' for a living. Mind you, 90% of this was on a 17kg SC Nomad...

@IluvRIDING: I've got a pair of the Lezyne plastic ones. They're the most robust plastic levers I've used, and my go-to lever for getting a tyre with cushcore in off the bead because they have a great shape.
Most other plastic levers seemed to do a better job of actually removing tyres, because they're thinner. But at least I won't break the Lezyne ones!

@yoannbarelli: Are you riding a carbon fibre or alumiunium Guerrilla Gravity bike?
I appreciate you supporting local, and it's great GG's bikes are made in the US and that NSB is doing what they can to find eco-friendly ways to support a consumer centric sport, but still CF loses out vs aluminium for not being able to be recycled.

Pinkbike Poll: Would You Rather Buy a Frame Only or a Complete Bike?
Whenever I buy a bike, new or second hand, I swap components in and out to match what I want as time and money allows. I'm not after bling, just great brakes & solid wheels - my Onyx hubs normally get carried over as well as my ever-reliable One Up dropper.

10 Products I Loved In 2020: Mike Kazimer
@mikekazimer: When I lived in Turkey tubes strapped to a bike that weren't covered would crack from UV exposure by the time someone came to use them. Mega unhelpful. That's why I bought the Hotlaps for use on my bike, it means I can store a tube on the bike in or out of the sun for months without worrying.
Sidenote, the Hotlaps is handy, but the single velcro strap sucked. I added 2 more small straps and it stayed solid as a rock.
