VIDEO: Gee Atherton is hunted by a Peregrine Falcon
The falcon cocks its head; it has sensed the prey.

Sarah writes about about cycling every weekend on road.cc.

Yep those are the other compromises I referred to. But perhaps if you're dropping £4K on an aero bike you have another one for when it's dark 😉
