First glimpse of riders trying out the new track here
Impressive huh? Okay, there’s a bit of final spit ‘n’ polish but it makes you proud to be British doesn’t it.

Cycling in Paris this evening, many bikes and escooters don't take any notice of the red lights. A number of bikes do stop, but not many.

@ChrisA and you should approach believing they might step out, so be ready to stop.

@mdavidford I live in the mountains of Southern California. I attached my home commute for your entertainment.

No, I didn't think you were suggesting that. And I feel the same on a bike sometimes. Particularly when the sun is low and I hear cars braking late behind me.

Having watched a couple of episodes of Police, Camera, Action. I'm eagerly awaiting the Police call to close the M62.

@Mr Blackbird I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be there at all, merely that as a single cyclist at the edge of the road travelling between 20-30kph I still feel vulnerable. I would not feel comfortable on a horse at all.

I remember when all this was,
I remember when all this was, er, a cycle track :O
On a slightly different
On a slightly different Olympic vibe I heard on the news today that the IoC are going to scrap the Olympic Torch relay after 2016. So that’ll be for the 2020 Olympics in 12 years time – on security grounds. And I thought the world of protest, espionage, terrorism and security must be fast paced. Obviously not if they need a 12 year run up.
Shame too cos the torch relay was my favourite event at the last Olympics – we won that didn’t we? 😕
Err, where’s the BMX track
Err, where’s the BMX track then? That looked remarkably like a few temporary ramps with a novice wobbling around and only one decent trick rider. If a temporary ramp is all we can put up for a track then we’ll look remarkably amateur as a nation.
