Red Bull Million Mile CommuteLive blog: Search launched for UK's most cycle-friendly employers, driver rear-ends bus (during England World Cup match?), Froome's Giro data revealed + more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. 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 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 bus needs more situational awareness. They don't even pay road tax or wear helmets. If it was forced to wear Hi-viz and have a number-plate this would never have happened!
Bit off topic, but did anyone else, upon hearing that the Thai lads had been found safe, wonder where the bicycles were?
It's alright though, I think Newsnight (could have been C4 news) told us they found the bikes on the way to the boys, Nice.
Yeah I'd read they'd found the bikes, two brit caving divers were the first to make contact too. Now for the tricky part of getting them back!
Wonder how fast Muller would be on the same bike the 'mighty atom' - Eileen Sheriden used for her 59h7m doing 870 miles (not the shorter 840 as per the record)? The record stands at only 1.4mph faster than what Sheridan achieved in 1954 taking into account the different distances. Baggy top, no padded shorts, no padded tape, blustery winds, heavy rain, having to stop to affix lights for night-time not to mention the vast difference in bike tech/weight.
I reckon Sheridan would smash it out the park, and at the grand age of 95 I'm glad she has being able to record her memories for us young uns to listen too, a true legend of cycling few have got close to achieving even half what she did, the 'peril' and Eileen would absolutely dominate women's cycling if they were racing in the modern era.

That's curious - I didn't know Eileen was known as "The Mighty Atom". I'd only heard that name in connection with Joe Greenstein (a complete badass, but not a cyclist): http://www.badassoftheweek.com/index.cgi?id=651068116795
The BBC actually invited Hutchinson, Whittle, and Hayles to see the data, not Hutchinson, Whittle, and Whittle.
If I were Froome, I'd tell Whittle to 'go jump'. Whittle was constantly whining about Froome during the Giro, and he has just written a piece in the Guardian comparing the Festina organised doping scandal in 1998 with the Kenyan-born Brit being on the start line of this year's TDF.
It's a pretty shocking manipulation of the facts to fit a pre-existing agenda.
Gives a whole new meaning to tapping out a rhythm at the front of the bunch. But surely the Wolfpack should be playing Born to Be Wild.
