That was a pedal strike wasn't it? Not to belittle the save, but pedal strikes are spectacular though relatively easy to recover from. Relatively.

Is that estimation of how long it would take Santa by bike taking into account that not all households celebrate Christmas and of those households that do, not all children are on the nice list? Also, does it also take into account that he would be most likely drafting behind his supersonic reindeer?

I hope JV reported the idiot in the van, that was quite deliberate bullying "get out of my way I'm coming through" behaviour.

Great news about Geraint, and great reaction from the team.

Brilliant save by Mike Cuming, I'd have woken up in the ambulance.

I hope so too, he's secured convictions with submitted footage previously, although from the posted clip I suspect it may be a challenge to read the licence plate (the original footage may be clearer).
