Evidence based cycling is not high on the bicycle salesman’s agenda

Neither does that aneasthatist (sp). Np power or even HR data.

Classic "I am a doctor therefore my opinion matters"...see also "wearing a helmet has saved your life".

That's a real side splitter, up there with Tommy Cooper at his best, by the standards of some I've seen 😆

That's years old. Any road cyclist will tell you that it never gets any easier; you just get faster.

There was a similar tongue-in-cheek article in Climber & Rambler where they assessed various chocolate bars for their strength when frozen and hammered into the snow to be used as belays. I think Mars bars won.

Duh, what a pointless study - its obvious to anyone that what he needs is some deep section aero wheels
