It means calm and reserve to me, perhaps coupled with a careful observation of one's manners. It's not exactly a manner of dress or speech- more a way of behaving. Bashfulness and modesty doesn't bring anything but good.
The Rca frame and basic hardware weigh less than 1.5 pounds, keeping the bike's total built weight to about 10 pounds. Tour de France riders must add ballast to hit the race's 15-pound minimum. Drag consumes up to 50 percent of a racer's energy when he's in a pack, 90 percent when he's riding alone. The tubes of the Rca frame are teardrop-shaped in cross section, improving aerodynamics.
The result: The average age of Tour de France winners in the last 99 events is 28 years, 1 month, and 10 days old. Britainâs Chris Froome, nabbing this yearâs yellow jersey, is predictably average, age-wise, stepping onto the Paris podium at 28 years and two months.
