Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Discs in World Tour January 2016

In case anyone missed it (and apologies if common knowledge):

Disc brakes to be allowed in WorldTour races from January, can be used in amateur ranks in 2017 | CyclingTips

Disclaimer: I have no views one way or the other.

(Note: thanks for correcting title [year], mods!)

Well, we'll see if it catches on or not. I know one team tested them in a tour a few months ago. They were switching out bikes for a puncture because wheel changes took too long.

Quite right; typo on my part. Not better title, the correct title (!) -- should refer to January 2016. I've asked the mods to correct.
