Tour de France explained in animated video

If Soudal Quick Step want to get a proper handle on British food, I recommend that they try saag mutta aloo (spinach, green peas and potatoes) - madras hot with fresh chillies, bhindi bhaji and maybe a vegetable paratha or a couple of chapatis. If they are unimpressed with fish and chips then they are eating them from the wrong shop. They are barely scratching the surface.

You might need to add an extra layer of tape if you go walking on Belgian or French cobbled roads.

@mdavidford still in the mushroom kingdom?

@eburtthebike Does that not come with the exemption provided for certain motorcyclists under Section 16(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 *? I'd have thought second thought would immediately be taken if someone brought that one up? * Exempting turban-wearing Sikhs from mandatory motorcycle helmet laws.

"Whether you're a keen cyclist or you haven't ridden a bike in years" Aren't those the same thing...

Has nobody done any safety testing on his hair? More fool them if he actually had a helmet under it...

‘Motoring & Communities Group on X’ presumably they're on X because any platform with standards would throw them out. Yet another group of petrolheads dictating road safety to cyclists when they are the biggest problem. I wonder if Bristol City Council have dropped the requirement for people cycling on council business to wear a helmet? I opposed it when it was proposed and resigned as a H&S rep when the council adopted it.

Well I can see eight motor vehicles in that picture, all of which are far more likely to kill a cyclist than not wearing a helmet.

I say gap, but as can be seen from the photo, the lane is entirely swallowed up by the double yellow lines painted to restrict vehicles from parking there Clearly a fundamental misunderstanding at road.cc about the purpose of these 'double yellow lines' which are taken by the police and councils as purely decorative

Drivers can get behind any safety measure for cyclists other than trying to reduce the number of them that drive like dangerous bellends.
