Axel Merckx's official woolly gloves

Published by Halverde on 8/07/2007 at 15:37.

Axel Merckx has decided to celebrate his 35th birthday by retiring from cycling. Incidentally, that's exactly how we celebrated our 13th birthday too.

We were going to commemorate the event by uploading a huge version of that photograph we took of the side of his head, but then we discovered this site.


As well as commemorating Axel Merckx's long career, this update should just about make up for all those times we forgot about Mother's Day. Every mum loves knitting.

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
