I love to slap my blubber guts with my knees.

It's a camel pack worn on the front, isn't it?

Are those socks UCI-compliant?

Not to mention those lovely sandals.

We have a couple of customers like that and they are really sweet guys.
The ar5es are often tall and thin.
I.e. more aero

I have nothing to add that has not already been written, but what a wide ranging thread this has been.

Aero bikes, aero positioning, aero helmets (for the Pro's), wind tunnel testing, tubing shapes, etc. Also Crank arm lengths, retro frames, large 'aero' stomachs, fairings and lunchboxes, etc. And a dash or 3 of = London cabbies, radishes and weather reports. What did I miss?? Did i skip a page??

I think you might have missed heaviness of brow and bulginess of eyes. A friend of mine who does a lot of work in wind tunnels with neo-pros reckons these are determining factors in how much you can keep your head down in a TT.

There is no way I could ride an aero bike. I did a 12 hour time trial and watched the guys with bikes that weighed like an empty beer can, laying down, shifters on the far end of lay out bars. They had on weird helmets and shoe covers. I used 4 different bikes to get saddle and a little riding position relief. I used 3 classic steel road bikes and a steel track bike. How one can race for 12 hours on the same bike is pretty bewildering. Those aero bikes are cool.

I always ride in a vacuum
