Ha ha Yes I do.  I have a Claude Butler hybrid bike and I love it.  I have a wing mirror, panniers, 21 gears (I think) and a gel seat.

No one gets my drift then, too subtle  ;)

Seen several cyclists out, but it is far TOO HOT!  Wait until evening.

Anyone see the Very Near Miss - a Marshall for the Tour de Yorkshire managed to step out of the way of a support car which simply ran at him  :o.  Probably using the phone to keep in contact with his racing team - Himself and I have witnessed the same, particularly from drivers for the foreign teams.  This was an almost fatal accident and the driver should be brought to order ...... but he will be well across the Channel by now  :-\

Apparently the man local to us who fell into a pot hole and sustained fractures, the photo has gone viral.  A water bottle was put into the hole and disappeared up to it's neck!

A British leader of the Giro and it's not Froome  :o

Simon Yates is looking so strong I hope he can carry on for the second half of the race, wouldn't it be brilliant if he won, I'm not sure if anybody tipped him as a potential winner  :)

Bet that 'they' are waking him every hour of the day and night for bloods and urine tests.   The worst is yet to come though as well as a Time Trial.  Town to town races have started in the UK - in Scotland today, Melrose rings a bell.  The Girls set off soon too ......... it'll be le Tour next, not a lot getting done here  ;D

Ive been in Dublin for the weekend so I haven't seen the last few stages of the Giro, but I know who won. The trouble is with the prospect of a ban, the wins might be taken away, they take much too long to sort these things out it makes it a bit flat for me if I'm honest  :-\

It was announced this weekend that the first stage of the tour of Britain starts not too far from me, I've got my fingers crossed they come to my home town   :)

Innocent until proven guilty.

I solute his courage.  To enter the race and win despite what is going on was the right thing to do.  He says he has done nothing wrong so if he really believes that all power to him. :medal:
