Lol if you read a book called spitting in the soup it tells how an early 1900s Olympic marathon race in the US was on dirt roads so all the runners sucked up the dust from the press cars and there was a well about mid run for water. However they were allowed to be fed arsenic by they’re teams as PED later in the run to give them a boost. Wasn’t so long ago...

Basically a rudder, keeps you going nice and straight!

Everyone is different. If you can't accept that, your life won't be easy and so many things will bother you.

That means you are a Category 1 cyclist.

Flat tyres ? That's soft.
You should be running direct in the rims. Cast iron rims (none of that pansy carbon or alu - that's for whimps).
