Leo Noble - he was at Radfest and rode the whole speed trial course on one manual at one point. This video is very classy...

Nearly 2 hours of documentary on cycling as it was around 1990: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cut_sYkNcIM

I was particularly amused by the CEO of Schwinn bikes who predicted in his interview that in future there would only be a small number of very big bike companies and that they'd be one of them - Schwinn went bankrupt probably less than 2 years after that interview in 1992, then they got revived and went bankrupt again (Along with GT) in 2001... They're still around but the name is the only thing left AFAIK.

The official video was posted on Vimeo a while back (in HD no less) but got pulled the same day. Nathy suggested that he may have been riding somewhere he shouldn't have been as a probable cause

Sounds like he might be a Griffin from Quahog... The Natural History Museum in Dublin has a stuffed sunfish on display - along with most animals people have heard of :D.

Details on the worldwide QR recall. Why people still insist on putting the lever on the disk side in the first place still beats me though - swapping sides avoids getting burned by hot disks while taking the wheel off and getting oil from your hands on the disk. Also interesting to see that the QR shown at the start of the video isn't closed correctly in the first place, giving the impression that it should be possible to open QR skewers easily with one finger.

This bloke said to me; “You haven’t got a clue,
About the damage that Soap Bar can do to you”,
I tried to see things from his point of view,
But I couldn’t fit my head up his asshole too,

Interesting fitness channel on Youtube (more gym based, but could be useful for cyclists): https://www.youtube.com/user/BroScienceLife

I particular, I found his recent video on the resurgence of Kettle Bells very informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gJfcL3lI3o

That dude's a geek and I really like him.
The /Engineered series was pretty interesting. Drive should do more like it.
I have to return some videotapes...
