It's also "a "good bike." <br /><br />What is that thing ? A piece of the bodywork which is cut out from the footholes at the bottom of the bike, held on with tape. We think it makes a minor contribution to aerodynamics at the expense of being able to turn so sharply - which you don't need to do at race speed.

@Da...@Taliesin:<br />Thats why they race in Speedos ;-)<br /><br />@David:<br />How come you didnt let Judy have the good bike? The Mango, and then you drove home on a unfaired? Perhaps that would make your speed identical?<br /><br />Picture number 4, 11, 20, 22 and 33:<br />What is that thing you guys have added above the front wheel partially covering the wheel arch?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-21211814344154903112010-08-15T16:48:00.022+02:002010-08-15T16:48:00.022+02:00Taliesin: I get quite hot when riding on any bike,...Taliesin: I get quite hot when riding on any bike, but find it's not too hot in the Mango.<br /><br />There is quite a lot of airflow through from the foot holes, and bear in mind that the front of the Mango keeps a good part of your body in shade.<br /><br />Yesterday it was 24 C in Rutenbrock. I've also commuted when it's been above 35 C.

I've always believed that the airflow provided in an open bicycle is essential in warmer seasons, although not welcome in winter.Taliesinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399506198451047847noreply@blogger.com
