Is it now obligatory to mention Sky in every article now? Cavendish is now favorite for overall winner by the way. Its amazing how Cavendish gets more enthusiastic coverage in the foreign cycling press than he does in the UK's.
New venture, eh?,.. how about spokesperson for Nutri-System?
Must be the victims fault.
Perhaps the local council is culpable for not ensuring pedestrians have a safe environment to walk in at night?
Bigger tubes can be a pain to get into the tyre and can puncture as you install them too.
How is this any different to all the other 0.5W rear lights on the market? Eg the Smart range?
Boonen's had septicaemia in his elbow and is in no fit state to race...
Isn't Qatar Boonen country? Surely he won't be too happy to have to surrender his annual early-season UCI points grab? Actually, who cares, it's only Qatar.
You can't really blame Churchill for attempting to minimise their losses - it's the corporate insurance system that obliges them to do that. Any other insurance company would do the same.
Drivers need to expect pedestrians in the roadway, especially on lanes with no pavement, and drive accordingly.
Even if she was dressed entirely in black, I would expect a normal set of headlights to pick her out, so if the driver still hit her, he must have either been driving too fast or he didn't look properly.
Let's not forget rule #43 either, BB.
Looking at those photos it seems someone doesn't know left from right.
All the bikes you have listed look good for the money. The Canyon Roadlite AL 6.0 has a better groupset (Shimano 105 gears and brakes) and better wheels and tyres than any of them. It would be well worth a look for £869. A friend of mine has one and he says that it's great.
If you want a bike fitting, expert advice and a choice of every component then go to Condor Cycles on Grays Inn Road.
It will cost you a bit more than your budget but you'll be getting something that's just right for you.

Have already crossed the border into Greater Manchester this month but will wait and see if I need to use it or not, or save it for later in the year!
Having worked in the industry in the past, I can say that insurers are the lowest of the low, and will try virtually anything to avoid paying a claim. That said, this takes things to a new low. I will never use Churchill or any related entity, although i suspect they aren't the only ones to try this type of thing.
The TV guide - can't recall which but the one my wife bought in Tesco!
They have is scheduled? Where....
They aren't showing it because of disputed between them, ASO and Qatar....
Mainly ASO and Eurosport. So I doubt we'll see Oman and a few others
No worries - can't help that I am big Spesh fan!
Hope you didn't mind me pointing it out.
Disgusting. Insurance leeches.
The big S in question was Specialized.
Am I going to buy insurance from Churchill in the future?
Ah, no.
Boycott them and watch them squirm.
London's a big place
What part of London are you closest to?
Unless Bookwalter starts picking bonus seconds there's a real chance Cavendish could still win this race.
What a crock....You don't wear Hi Vis then you get hit, you have to accept some responsibly. I want to see EVERYONE that walks ANYWHERE in Hi Vis now....
Why not get everyone to wear body armour, full face motorcycle helmets aswell while at it
If you look at pics from the Tour Down Under you will see that Astana are actually on Campagnolo this year, so you were initially correct that only 2 teams are using Sram.
If a driver in a 2012 BMW, hits another driver out for a drive in his pride and joy 70s rebuild, do insurance companies place blame on the injured because his car doesn't have 400 airbags in the door alone? No. What a load of bollocks this is.
