"Cycling is perfect exercise for transvestites"
An interesting article about fab potter Grayson Perry and his love of cycling, albeit largely of the fat-tyred variety
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/may/02/cycling-is-the-perfe...
Contains the wonderful line "Cycling is perfect exercise for transvestites as it does not bulk up your upper body and it gives you an excuse to shave your legs"

Well I for one wish him every success with the new team.
What that man has done for both cycling and MOD culture is unparalleled#. (#is that spelt correctly, having trouble with that oddly)
I mean who hasn't got a pair of Wiggo endorsed Fred Perry shoes?
Got to love Grayson. The fact that he'd put prizes into the community racing events at Beastway all those years ago, you know his heart is in exactly the right place.
