Wondering who they surveyed. If you drive over the bridge at night, and need to turn left, you have to cross a cycle lane. Check your mirrors, all you can see is headlight glare behind you. Chances are, you'll kill someone on 2 wheels eventually. This is not safe, it is INSANE. Cars and bikes need to be kept APART, not mixed up. And to think they borked up the bridge with roadworks for 2 years to end up with this. And just to cap the insult (which we taxpayers have paid for) - the traffic into and out of town is as snarled-up as ever. Well done Cambridge City Council

If Alberto Contador were a close personal friend, my friendly advice to him would be to retire from the professional cycling arena, permanently. The industry has let him down; and the federations in judgment have shown themselves to be immature lug-heads. This is not a group I'd encourage "my friend Alberto" to continue in relationship with.
That said; It occurs to me that the last many months have probably been for Contador severely emotionally draining - they certainly would have been for myself - and brimful of uncertainties; that I don't know that Alberto would be able to be in top-form, even if he'd qualified for this year's Tour.
Were I Contador, I'd welcome the respite: AND I WOULD NOT RETURN.

I can see it being great fun... for all of five minutes. And for only seventy-squids Male cyclists only though? Bit sexist, isn't it anyway?

Like the TA Story.....

I've heard that it doesn't really cause safety issues (this from Cycling England where contraflow cycling has been introduced in cycle demonstration towns). Most drivers do actually look forwards through their windscreens as they drive, so on narrow side streets with little traffic they notice cyclists coming towards them.

Fair enough, Dave, but do remember that your victory in the 'Webbies' league has become somewhat tainted. Just sayin'

i'm *not* going there...

So do last year's Fantasy TdF results become null and void?

I _knew_ I was right to go with Schleck for GC …

Here in Edinburgh, there has been a consultation for a wide scale 20 mph limit, but we are still waiting to hear what the council will actually do.

Cheers sir.

Appreciations appreciated. Shout if you want a print.

Fantastic piece of kit.
This and the wind jacket are by far Rapha's best pieces of kit.
Windproof to the front, keeping you lovely and toasty.
Waist is tighter than last years, so I would suggest to go up a size.
Looks good too, so great for around town too.
