I was wondering how much faster could Bjorn Andersson be if he taped down his ears? Do you think this could be an advantage? Maybe he could wear a swim cap to keep them from flapping in the wind. Doesnt the body contribute to most of the drag on the bike? hhhEEEEEhhhheeeee! Joking!
Damn dude, that’s COLD. Funny, but cold nonetheless.
Maybe they contribute to some “lift” like an aerofoil wing shape and actually help him gain an advantage. At the speed he rides he could nearly take off!!

If I ever get in a wind tunnel I’ll let you know.
Maybe Hid could start a fund raiser to send me in the tunnel so we can get to the bottom of this very intriguing question asap.

If you keep this up you might even come up with something I haven’t heard before.
Ironroo -
Less time on this board making very clever and highbrow jokes about a triathlete who could destroy you and more time training.
Ear jokes. Wow.
Feel free to make fun of my mother now, call me a retard, or just say that I smell.
ironroo -wow, at least now i can say i have one thing in common with Mr A. i grew up with a similar aerodynamic efficiency. well, i still have it, as Mr SlayerHatebreed can confirm. the only thing is i heard all the jokes by the second grade so i suggest you come up with something better.
i think sometimes people post just to say they got a response from a pro triathlete. impressive!
Thats just rude!
Care to post a pic of yourself?
I usually respond with a laugh and a sarcastic “Damn, I haven’t heard that since third grade!”
.
ive been t hinking more about this post since its something that hits close to home for me. beyond the fact that its childish and immature theres one other problem i see.
in what other sport can you put up an email to the top pros and theyll actually respond? i think were unique and fortunate here to be able to get people like Mr A, Mr Colting, Mr Molina, etc to share their thoughts and to talk to us amateurs. its downright pathetic that someone would be stupid enough to jeopardize that relationship.
even if what you said was joking, it was still wrong. so take your crap somewhere else.
i hope the aforementioned pros continue to spend time and and share their thoughts and experiences with us. thanks to all of em.
This is funny, some people are more mad at the joke than Bjorn himself. Can you say GROUPIE?!
Are you an ass or just an idiot?
Yeah, good point. I actually believe the size of my, ahem…‘groupset’… really gets in the way of the around the seat aerodynamics. I think if it was smaller I would go HEAPS quicker.
Yeah it’s really reverse-aerodynamics. These people are too simple to understand it. The bigger your ears the faster you go.
Then I must be the most aerodynamic man on earth.
Dude - enough of the false modesty!
“Are you an ass or just an idiot?”
Not so fast there Iron (may I call you “Iron”?) I think both Tibbs and I (as well as others here) have adequately demonstrated that the two are not mutually exclusive…
By the way, where I come from, it’s pronounced “ahrn.” But how do you pronounce “ironclm”

Not with that oversized melon of yours.

Ah, but you two are of a special category.

They talk like that in Walnut Creek???
You can call me whatever you’d like.

- As our teachers recognized while we were still young. I can only speak authoritatively on my own behalf, but I was assigned to the “Special Class” when I was in school. I bet Jon was too!

- Who said I came from Walnut Creek? That’s just where I live and work lately. ¦:o)/
