Chris Froome celebrates winning the 2013 Tour de France (picture copyright Simon Wilkinson:SWpix.com)FroomeSprog - Tour de France champ announces birth of first child
An already memorable 2015 for Tour de France champion Chris Froome is coming to an end with further cause for celebration with his wife Michelle giving birth to their first child.
The 30-year-old, who this summer became the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France twice, tweeted a picture of himself with newborn son Kellan on Tuesday evening.

An Irish name, Kellan (depending on which source you consult) can mean slender or powerful – both of which could apply to his father – or descendant of the bright-headed one, another apt description.
On Sunday evening, Froome had been at the Team Sky Christmas Party at its training camp on Mallorca sporting a festive jumper, but he returned to Monaco, where he and his wife live, in time for the birth.

A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

I agree, however, it works both ways and cyclists should learn the highway code - especially in todays traffic

Agreed - but with a bit more set-back from roundabout. Also how well respected is this in practice?...

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.

That's true enough. But doesn't address my point that the chainset you get as a replacement will not physically fit chainrings from the chain set...

In all fairness, it almost certainly NEVER happened…
