Well I'm in Cambridgeshire and I think it is poor. If I had written this sort of thing at school, I probably wouldn't have been entered for O-level English Language. I admit I'm not very knowledgeable in such matters, but would this article have been generated by AI?
@chrisonabike The only way the next iteration of beings will value the world is if that attitude improves your chances of mating. Ladies, I REALLY value the world we inhabit😊
Well now, let's not be hasty. We should get the views of a range of audiences first. For instance, how's it gone down with readers in the Surrey area?
I can't find these on Lezyne's site, not even in among the legacy/discontinued products.
"Confusing name - "Elite" and "Pro" not meaning top end" There is method to the madness. Challenge uses "Elite" to designate second-tier tyres with intermediate thread counts. "Elites" is also the top amateur rank recognised by a few continental European federations, I believe that's the inspiration for the name. Challenge uses "Pro" to designate tyres with open tubular construction. They lie above the vulcanised tyres, that Challenge calls "Race".
Suggest you pull this article, fix it, then bin it.
@ajd As well as confusing George Orwell with Orson Wells - clearly not proof read (at least, not by a different person)
@mdavidford One assumes it's referencing Nancy Mitford's famous "Noblesse Oblige" with its concept of U and non-U language, U being upper class and non-U the more flowery attempts to sound posh from the middle classes. I recall her decreeing that bicycle and bike were U and cycle was non-U, though she was of course a little early to rule on the difference between ATB and MTB.
On the subject of mountain biking, terrific rides by Tom Pidcock and Charlie Aldridge to take gold and silver in the UCI World Championships yesterday.

Wow, this probably shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does… but man this is annoying.
Out of interest, what responsibility do the school have with regards to student welfare outside of the gates? i.e. are they liable if one of the kids off themselves, or if the kids off a pedestrian?
if the answer is yes, then that makes this situation more of a grey area, but if not, then this is just wank.
Essentially this is pandering to moaning from pedestrians / motorists complainign about school kids.
Lets be frank, kids are kids, and I am sure there are plenty of complaints of poor conduct regarding kids walking to school, the parents driving their kids to school, the kids using public transport… the difference is that the schools can ban cycling. They can’t ban kids being driven to school (parents would go nuts), walking or taking public transport, so they do this.
It is utter crap. Why won’t schools take a stand, tell these moaners that childrens conduct outside the school gate is not their responsibility. Why don’t they encourage best practice by offering cycle proficiency training (is it bikeability now?), why don’t they protect their interests by asking that children do not display uniform outside of the school gates?
Also, I thought schools couldn’t ban cycling? They could make it difficult, but out right ban it? Anyone know for sure?
