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.
How many miles does a Tour De France rider ride a day? Discussion in 'The Rumble Strip' started by bergauk, Jun 7, 2009. I'm just curious, as I'm trying to plan out a really long ride to go visit a friend via bike and she lives well outside of a days riding distance. I can do about 40 miles a day on average without getting exhausted.
