bike fitting isnt witchcraft. Just think about where you'd like your hands to be and get a stem to put the bars in that position.

130mm -17 degree is the only way to go...

Reported a driver that ran a blatant red light, as pedestrians started to cross the other day, to see how the RoadSafe process is... warning letter sent and apparently with a link to my unlisted youtube video. Will be funny if the driver comments on the youtube link
Alright Ryder.
I went to a talk about bike fitting the other week, and one idea I'm definitely a fan of is "earning your position". I think it's important to bring the bike to you, but it's equally important to bring yourself to the bike i.e. ensuring you have a basic level of flexibility in your hips and hamstrings especially. I think this is something a lot of us neglect. Last winter I spent a lot of time in the gym, and while the weights didn't benefit my cycling that much, the 30-45 minutes of mobility work I did beforehand certainly did.
At least you got a positive response. I'd like to see the police use videos like that to actually give drivers points and fines though as that's the only way people will stop driving like knobs. I don't have a helmet cam but I reckon an average commute video would result in about 30 points being dished out each way for mobile phone use, applying makeup and running red lights.
My hamstrings are still embarrassingly tight but it'll get there. One day I'll be able to get my hands flat on the floor bending at the hip like Cancellara can (maybe not).

Yep, it's non-stop. Everywhere you look. People on the phone, people pulling out when they shouldn't, sitting in box junctions, jumping lights, not paying attention...

The riders are generally looking for an argument with the car drivers.
I find I'm incredibly cautious in my riding. I always expect that car drivers are going to do something stupid. I'm rarely wrong.
