    This is an interesting read: former US presidential candidate John Kerry goes for a spin with Slipstream's Jonathan Vaughters. I knew Kerry was into cycling, but I didn't think he was this big into it. Shows up with shaved legs, drops Vaughters on a climb and descends at 90kph.

    I've no idea what that is, must look it up :confused:
