...though I'd like to ensure my loin cloth wasn't about to be wrapped around the rear wheel. Foot brake looks useful too.

Head angle looks appropriately on trend.

Would be worried about the seat though, After a long ride I'll bet the poor blokes sac looks like a tin of peeled tomatoes!

Brake is excellent - I was wondering why he had a fake accelerator and then I realised!

So, what circular disks for mud then?

He also wants to watch out that the flappy material at the back doesn't get caught in the rear 'wheel' unless he fancies a phenomenal wedgie 😯

Pah, I give it a fortnight before he is on here asking if XT brakes are worth the extra over SLX...

Apparently there is a new study out, which proves that wearing giant feathers is no safer than riding bare-headed.

Also, he clearly needs a dropper-plank.

wooden bikes are a bit of a thing in Rwanda

Team Rwanda cycling came out of it and Tom Ritchey is closely involved;

bit of a video about them;

The fact they got someone from those bikes to racing Olympic MTB is a tribute to everyone concerned 🙂
