Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

No proof of this, but wouldn't you imagine that the majority of drivers have ridden pushbikes at some point in their lives, even if only as kids?

crazy stage isnt it tomorrow though, just one long climb getting steeper and steeper.
the deciding day today I think.
Am going to dig into my authentic italian snacks for the stage today. 262km, killer!
Yeah, I know what you mean. Just home from the puncturefest and mine are looking very 'Belgian'.
it was too puddly for the white Sidis
All very Italian, so how do you explain the Shimano shoes?
Cornetto?
