LOL
the junks in Amsterdam will honour a bycicle with 3 locks
anything less, is fair game....
and yes, cycling in Europe, wasn't really a high end sport
you should see the small town races where they race 20 laps around the local church, the town comes out, everybody
week after that, same riders, different town, different church
the one to win isn' necessarely the fastest one
they take turns , to make it worth while
note ,i'm talking really , the low end of the sport
we call it "kermiskoers" where i'm from
once read an article, that a lot of the guys who were in Armstrongs team, many of em trained in belgium, and actually lost their cherry in those kind of events... it's low visibility... no problem if anyone screws up there
