I heard she thought fixies were very lower class. She was once overheard saying "let them ride Campag"

Most people know peadar is a bit of a clown and would say anything to grab votes.

@mitsky he will be interested to know there's quite a good rail service in to Swansea. It's only six months which is pretty light imo.

'This experience has been a significant wake-up call for me and I can assure the court that I have reflected seriously on my actions and taken steps to ensure this will never happen again' Perhaps the six points you already had on your licence should have been the wake up call. Also, if I'm a judge, I'm thinking not bothering to show up in court doesn't scream remorseful. You are NOT a victim here Mr Cabango.

I really enjoyed Bastie Tronchon's victory.

@the little onion It is quite galling to read that Cabango is the Swansea Captain. He is hardly setting a good example to his team mates and fans etc.

@leedorney Great, me neither, but reviews are written for people other than you and I. These are "Tubeless Ready" tyres. They are marketed to work as Tubeless, so it wouldn't be good if the reviewer didn't test them as tubeless for those buying them for tubeless use.

@wtjs Entirely possible that it was a lie. Given the ban is in place, if he doesn't move his family could he be charged with lying in court?

@tomlew With that logic we should ban all laptops and mobile phones from trains.

@mitsky the ban would require him to move his family He was just telling a tale- it would be easier and cheaper to just pay for a driver/ chauffeur! Bet he doesn't move.

Every time I see that picture
Every time I see that picture of the Sikh cyclist from Bradford I remember that he kindly stopped to check that I was OK when I got knocked off about a year ago. I may not have appeared sufficiently grateful at the time, due to adrenaline , considerable pain and having to deal with my myopic motorist…so …Thanks again.

The half million journey
The half million journey statistic is dodgy. There are three sensors on the route, a few miles apart. If you ride along the whole section of the route, this is recorded as three trips. One return journey could count as six.
City connect are are serial tellers of alternative facts
That cycle way in Bournemouth
That cycle way in Bournemouth will probably win the Turner Prize

At least that’s what I think I said
