The leopardskin is probably a bigger deterrent than the lock anyway.

How not to lock your bike...

Leaving the keys in the wheel lock is a nice touch.

Was waiting for someone to spot it! I was ooooh so tempted to lock it and take the key :pac:

Having done it myself once or twice it's something I tend to notice. Now I Check The Tweck!* every time I lock my bike.

*The Tweck being that little inset pocket on the front right of most jeans/trousers, where I keep my wheel lock key. I'm pretty sure the name 'Tweck' comes from The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams.

EDIT: Was the picture taken in Dublin? I pass a lady some days near Baggot Street riding a bike very like this one, matching panniers and all.

I've seen them for sale in Angel Cruisers on the North Quays, could be a few of them around.

Heh, no. One Dutch tank is plenty for any stable, and anyway, leopard print isn't really my style.

(If the bike had Leopard Trek print I might be tempted... )

I was followed by a car for a couple of minutes today on the Estury Road. I was starting to get paranoid as there were a number of opportunities where other cars would have passed in the past. It was only after I turned on to Spittal Hill when they finally overtook and I had an "Ah ha!" moment... It was a French registered car

I just don't understand why Eurosport player doesn't have a more capable archive feature. So that if I'm not in front of my computer for the live Tour, I can watch it later. Or record/store in your online account.

And why they don't make it more cross-platform compatible, but that's just me. I end up watching illegal streams of something I've actually paid money for. :rolleyes:

Didn't see this race this year, but what a win! Someone tweeted it a while back. Very excited commentary to go with it It gets good at roughly 6'45".

you can watch todays footage later just fire up the player and pull where it says live back across the bar and it plays back from where you stop (only found this recently

doesnt work properly in firefox works in IE (being silverlight ) but yeh being able to record and playback would be good

Had to spin out and back to work twice yesterday, decided to take my new (old) bike for the second spin to try it out, but it was only when I got home that I realised how much of a FRED I must have looked....cycling a late 80's/early 90's racer wearing look heritage la vie claire replica kit :rolleyes:

The publicity van that precedes the riders was a real circus wasn't it? Is it still like this? You rarely get to see anything on the modern coverage.

I hadn't realised that Michael Hutchinson won the 2011 Brompton World Champion title, maybe training on a Brompton is the secret of his success!
