Not sure that that is possible.

AFAIK, one needs a full driving license for two years before being allowed to drive a hire car on the continent.

plan 2, we can borrow a trolley from a hypermarche and pretend its a car. we can make beep beep noises.

Yup, one year as others have said is what I believe most of the hire places state.

There was no issue with me hiring a car in the States even though I only had my licence a few months though.

Congrats. Again as has been said, it's nice to be able to hop in your car and be legally able to drive and keep driving across Europe!

If you were the guy yesterday with the livestrong shorts and no bar tape, I wasn't constantly overtaking you because I wanted to race; your shorts are torn. At the crack.

New Scientist published a letter from a gastroenterologist; when he heard the original version of that song on the radio in 1967 he thought the lyric was "The girl with colitis goes by ..."

I've heard of golfers having a "tee" to put their balls in before driving off,

but a cup for cyclists to put their balls in before riding off..?

off topic alright,

first off, fair play to Wiggins for winning the Tour of Romandie, great time trial even with the chain mishap-

but what's with his hair? He looks like a muppet,

a Jim Henson type Muppet.

Better than a U lock?

Just trued three wheels. Quite happy with the result.

Lessons learnt:

Oil spoke nuts before you try to true them
Using a flathead from the top makes the job easier (just because I cannot tell left from right while thinking upside down )
