So, who in this particularly strained loaf-based analogy is going to be the tasty meat in this Sunday’s sandwich, who’s going to be the limp lettuce and will Hincapie be the dollop of mayonnaise that drops out and makes a sad mess on your shirt. Again.

Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he’s not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he’s not doing either of those he’s pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he’s agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don’t He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

"I'm a keen shopper myself...". That's a great line, thank you.

Topping the bill is David Argue. A perfect name for a reckless rebellious BMX cyclist. No doubt, he got the girl when she realised there was a complex, deep thinking, kind person behind that wheelieing, skid to a halt, brash, devil may care exterior.

Isle of Man TT is practically synonymous with Road Safety, so it's no surprise they're keen to keep a clean sheet of zero road deaths.

Lots of keen cyclists aren't on Strava etc. A more reliable indicator would be to present an up to data photo of their bike. Many "keen cyclist myself" merchants' photos will be of a bike with a seized chain, two flat tyres standing in the shed with two rotting deckchairs, a neglected trampoline and half a bag of compost. stacked in front of it.

You can't pull a wheelie? Riding hands free evades you? They signal a largely misspent youth and aren't anything to be proud of...much!

Having shopped a few times in Spalding, my main thoughts on leaving a shop are "That was crap. Where to next? There are no decent shops, and the award winning independent book and coffee shop has closed!" By the way, I'm a keen shopper myself and don't want to discourage shopping.

@Clem Fandango Imagine if instead of the tired refrain of "as a cyclist myself.. [spouts anti-cycling BS]" councillors shared their Strava / Komoot activity before making any cycling related proposals. It smacks of the deluded entitlement, albeit to a much lesser degree, as 70 y/o men legislating for women's reproductive health. No opinion is entirely invalid, but lived experience and/or extensive unbiased research makes some opinions more valid than others

@hawkinspeter Isn't the whole road.cc comments section the Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, at least in the eyes of certain commenters?
