I once rode to a race with a rucksack, while wearing an aero helmet. Neither practical nor aesthetically pleasing! Have you just put tribars on the road bike without tinkering with saddle position and bar height?

As live?! How do have the time? I'm recording the highlights of both, and that's 2.5 hours a day of coverage. Then there's the cricket world cup highlights too, so I've got the best part of 4 hours of sport A DAY to watch this week (and there's rugby this weekend too!)

So, I've recently invested in Tivo, with the added benefit of British Eurosport. What the hell took me so long?!!?!!!! Just caught up with Paris-Nice (I called Porte as soon as G went up the road... a classic 1-2 springboard, but didn't think G would follow him alone. Awesome riding) and...

Google it, or maybe look for a grainy youtube video. That will explain everything. If you think for yourself while doing exactly what I say, and agree, you will be declared 'open-minded', If you do exactly what I say and disagree you create a paradox of not believing exactly what you're told...

Where in Germany are you going? Drink Gluwein, eat Currywurst, people-watch and enjoy. The Gluwein cups vary between markets, so you can end up with a nice collection if you keep them, otherwise you can return them for the 2-3 Euro deposit back ("fur zuruck" is a useful phrase for this)

There have been a total of 2 prosecutions (from millions of journeys) of people riding the Barclays Bikes since the scheme started - neither of them involved using the number displayed on the bike for identification. As a trial (long duration, millions of journeys, in an area with plenty of...

When looking at costs did you factor in new white bar tape every 6 weeks? :wink:

There needs to be a proper understanding as to why cyclists jump red lights. In my experience using red lights as a 'give way' on a bike massively reduces the interaction the rider has with motor traffic. It often feels safer to ride illegally. This is also why people cycle on pavements - it...

It would also be reasonable to assume that many FSA fighters are fighting against IS, al-Qaeda and Assad. We should stop arming rebels completely for the simple reason that you cannot control who they are used against.

So abolish the Scottish parliament and the Welsh Assembly; their MPs can just vote for things at Westminster? The major problem with politics in this country is Westminster.

What, EVERYTHING produced between the start of 1990 and the end of 1999? That sounds unlikely.

The decade after the one you left school. That's the worst one. If not, it'll be the one after that, or the one you were born in.

Right, geeks - some help required. You may have seen the plans for the new TfL 'superhighways'. If you haven't, have a quick look here: http://cyclelondoncity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/if-you-want-londons-largest-ever.html While some of the detail is below par, the general scheme could be bloody...

11-32 on a compact?!?! Who the hell needs a 34/32? I'm all for high cadence riding, and climbing, but that's just silly.

Sadly I'm working. Sounds like a great ride is in store.

Book in advance.

I suppose it depends how you want to run the sport/club really. Is football a sport, or a tourist attraction? If it's a tourist attraction then you make it shiny with wi-fi and a 'day out' sort of event, with tourist attraction prices because if these individuals don't come back they'll be...

While I agree to an extent, the status quo is also driving people away from the game either through unaffordability or through the sanitisation of experience. One of the odd things about football is that "brand" loyalty is held above pretty much everything else by the "customers". Quality of...

If "people want facilities" why are people not going to Wembley for these facilities? Why are there campaigns for a return of standing (albeit modernised) at top-level grounds? I'm not suggesting that EVERYONE wants to stand, or that it's appropriate everywhere, but the attitude that 'everyone...

It isn't the stadiums that cost the ridiculous money but the players, both in terms of transfer fees and wages. The £100m stadium costs will be recouped in time, the wages given to pretty average players almost certainly won't be. The issue is one of supply and demand. With England there's...
