    BMW drivers seem to get a bad press.

    However, the other week, I was on a ride and close to home found a squirrel that had clearly just been hit by a car, lying by the side of the road.

    I stopped and called the vet we take our pup to, who (because they don’t deal with wild animals) gave me the wild animal rescue number, who said they’d send someone local, who turned out to be someone from the vet we take the pup to anyway.

    Hmm. Communication.

    Anyway, she took the poor squirrel away – it died an hour later – but not before the guy in whose driveway we were parked while scooping up this poor dying animal started leaning on his horn because we were in his way for, ooh, 30 seconds.

    Oh, getting back on topic – he was driving a BMW.

    he’s a mate of yours is he? good work to that lad, we ran a story about him not so long ago. I’m assuming it’s the same 39 stone cyclist from manchester 🙂

    I’m quite new to this cycling lark, so its been a bit tough at times, but I’ll get there.

    Bianchi = Fiat surely they make some uninspiring stuff and some rather lovely cars too plus they own Ferrari and Alfa. On the other hand they could also be Renault.

    I’d say Spec might be closer to BMW if Trek were Audi – and no I don’t ride one. 🙂
