Not content with walking away with the night's big prize, Saint Bradley of Wiggins wasn't about to call it a night after the SPOTY cameras went off. It was back to the after-show party and time for a cameo on stage with the Rick Parfitt Junior Band, bashing out a decent ryhthm guitar line to Oasis' Wonderwall. Probably he'd have preferred something from The Jam back catalogue, but Wiggo knows how to play a crowd. And the chords are easier…

I declare myself officially brainwashed. My first thought about the 1,199 quid price tag was "Huh, not that bad".

@arowland Which again makes sense, given that such limits are for where vehicles are 'guests' in pedestrian spaces, and you're not going to be able to go much faster than a cyclist anyway, so attempting passes would be both pointless and inadvisable.

Brilliant, another new charger plug style. They really didn't get the USB-C memo did they? FFS, every iteration of Di2 has a new plug style.

These new (Spanish) rules sound good... providing all road users learn them and choose to abide by them.

@goodolfin And if *I* understood the article correctly, if the speed limit is 20km/h, cars can only overtake when stationary...

@MarsFlyer I like it without the band, as it’s more discrete (and the band design was getting on). But it’s personal preference. However, I dislike the price. £195 is exorbitant in my opinion.

@Zjtm231 I completely agree. So many streets around me have cars perpetually parked on one or both sides, effectively losing a lane of highway each way, and nobody even seems to be aware of the impact, but someone leaves a lime bike lying on its side and everyone loses their minds. I think the other point to make is that badly parked lime bikes are almost always left by thieves who take them without paying for them, or by hacking them. Anyone who actually uses lime bikes will know that they simply don't let you end the ride, unless and until you send them a photo of it parked neatly in a location where parking is permitted. So further outlawing/restricting hire bikes won't have any effect, because people who break the law don't take account of said further laws/restrictions.

Oof @ Wout... He already had a really bad and hugely career impacting injury from a brush with a barrier on a corner he cut too close. Can't believe he's still risking it.

Just as well that he got a headstart on the rest of the squad and put in an 11 day/ 7 hours per day training block in Mallorca just before Sunday, then 😉
Dont think we need to worry too much about Bradders work ethic. When he’s on, he’s seriously on.

There’s a longer and worse shot video here where he plays a Jam song first. Looking at the pic of him after, well I can’t play the guitar when I’m that mashed. But then my time trialling is pretty lacklustre too.
