Do they also have a garage in which they don't keep their car(s)? It would be in keeping...

As far as I know, the men's 7-day record is 3,826.47 km. I am absolutely astonished by both the result and the manner in which the previous record was broken. However, it still demonstrates that women are far behind men in terms of absolute numbers. 15% is far to big a difference to call it "alongside men". Just to be clear: this takes nothing away from Sarah's spectacular achievement. If anything, it reinforces the argument that women's sport should remain a protected category. And that's perfectly fair and fine. Rather than trying to prove that "we can complete alongside each other," which still seems far from true, why not celebrate our differences and diversity?

There's a waiting list for the cycle storage units in my street. Why my neighbours bagged places in them makes no sense, given that they have a cellar with nothing in it.

Data from London shows a drop in crashes since the 20mph speed limits were introduced. There is a certain type of driver that shouldn't be behind the wheel no matter the speed limit though.

The 20 mph encouraging people to use their phones concept reminds me of possibly my favourite ever Private Eye cartoon, two muggers standing over their senseless victim going through his wallet and one saying to the other, "There's bound to be crime when idiots persist in carrying this sort of money around…" If drivers are admitting that they will break the law if they are given the opportunity to do so then clearly that is openly stating that giving them a licence to drive is about as sensible as giving a drug addict a pharmacist's licence.

How annoying having to occasionally glance away from your phone to control your vehicle.

Agreed except it might help a tiny bit e.g. a camera that could detect a driver looking down at a phone, or when you're about to get close passed, and then give you a warning. You might get sick of the constant warning sounds though.

I think you should take a look at yourself.

This is like Schrödinger's cyclist isn't it? We can't have 20mph zones because drivers will crash because they're exercising all the concentration they have to keep below 20mph, but also we can't have them because they'll get bored and go on their phones.

There’s a rumour that James Murdoch could go to Tesla. If he takes the team sponsorship with him… it would be quite funny if Sky ended up being sponsored by an electric motor company.

Nearly as funny as the Tour of California being sponsored by Amgen, maker of EPO.

These aero bikes all seem a lot more sensible than the crippled bikes that UCI demands.

The bianchi and modolo bikes look nice.
Wouldn’t like to ride them past a farm gate on a windy day though.
