On Froome: Well he would say that, wouldn't he...
I am not bashing Froome or prejudging his case, but it is utter folly for journalists to ask him about Wiggins right now. #NotNews.
"Bizarre footage claims to show Lidl worker chasing cyclist with a leg of pork"
Were both his legs made of pork or just one? Or is this some new kind of fat shaming?
Regarding Drive Smug tweet / twat. I bet Sixt the value of their BMW that,point to point, I could beat them in any race across London. And I would obey all traffic rules. In the city cars suck. And they are real sloooow.
(I think Top Gear did something similar)
something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlP_H93znm0
So many motorists just cannot wrap their heads around this. Yes mate, I really am so much quicker than you...
I bet you the value of your bike that i could beat you in a bmw in a situation of my choosing
I bet you the value of that BMW that I could beat said BMW on a pogo stick in a situation of my choosing.
re. the leeds bradford cycleway thing. It is worth remembering that the weaknesses in the project are almost exclusively due to the councillors and staff at the two councils (Leeds and Bradford), particularly the councillors. Put simply, the councillors have insisted that the project should in no way impeed motor traffic - so whenever there is a pinch point or junction, the cycle way should be compromised in order to recue any potential impact on motor traffic. This is the primary cause of the weaknesses in the project.
The cycle way is being used, but not as much as it should be - and that is because of the weaknesses in the design, which is due to the councillors themselves.
