Gotcha 
Totally agree. Itās hard to imagine an asset that would depreciate quicker than a bike, maybe a firework?

I just canāt get the image of secondhand bikes out of my head. Iām sure Tarmac owners worship them, bathe with them and cuddle them to sleep, but to my mind people treat their bikes like shit I just wouldnāt trust āem flogging it off.
Maybe the āex-proā bikes would be able to pull the wool over my eyes. Any scratch or crack would be ālegitā tour-wear of course.
Cycle Exchange in Kingston seem to have made a good business model out of selling high-end 2nd hand bikes.
On the supply side they seem to be tapping into people who bought an S-Works SL6 a couple of years ago and now āneedā to upgrade to an SL7, so theyāll sell it for them to someone who wants a nearly-new top end bike for mid-market money and they take a big cut on the way through.

OK, I own an SL6, so not completely unbiased, however, I have ridden an SL7 and SL6 and actually prefer the SL6, the SL7 is apparently faster, but feels more nervous on descents.
Initially I wasnāt a huge fan of the SL6, however, I realised how great it is when I started to beat all of my Strava segment time, itās a bike that is really easy to ride fast.

Professional athlete exemption isnāt there?
Yes, they only have to isolate if they test positive.
Can only assume but I thought the āred listā had stricter measures. But then again - nothing clear and all open to interpretation.
We were just watching a LCB clip. Little One is a huge fan but this one was just her talking rather than racing or training.
When it ended LO said āWell that was a total bustā!
I had no idea she knew that expression and when I asked where she heard it, she said āMy Little Ponyā.
Good grief.

Didnāt Skipper just return as well?
Iāve had to have a Swedish engineer make an emergency visit. Exempt from test or isolation although couldnāt enter Copenhagen airport without a test which they do onsite.

Danish?
Swedish but was working in Denmark when we needed him. Copenhagen was the nearest large airport.
ā¦Are we going the way of the twitchhunt?

Hope not. No need for shaming LCB when she hasnāt done anything wrong.
