Saw the best ever recovery from a bike crash an hour or so ago. Young lad comes around the corner and there's a whap - sounded as if he'd gone over a tin, but I think he must have caught his foot in the wheel. He came straight down, and I thought I was going to see him smash his head off the road. No, he managed to step free of the bike and headed for the pavement kerb horizontally - missed that - he was going to smash head first into the wall - missed that and turned. By this stage I'd jumped out to rescue his bike, doing a London Policeman kind of gesture to stop the bus that was coming around the corner at it, and as I picked it up he retrieved it for me, turned and walked off, limping a bit. I had about enough time to pet his arm and say "Are you all right, little one?" Miracle in motion.

He was tall and stringy, bike was matte black and very light and stripped-down, and I think maybe a fixie. What a cyclist!

Did you know, that Pat Hickey has temporarily stepped aside as President of the Olympic Council of Ireland?

The mic on my phone is being used for ad purposes. Was talking about some very specific type of power sockets with a colleague last week as we are in the early stages of tendering for a new premises and I started getting ads for them. Never searched for them, but dis speak about them. Not the first time it's happened.

Yikes!

does that mean a cycle lane which blasts 'born slippy' at you constantly as a means of encouragement?

The Gardai will be handing out cool glasses mounted lights instead of the ****ty dangly ones they give out elsewhere.

Why oh why do you think that I need a 3D printer google ads, or whatever engine powers the ads on boards?

It's the 'Team Sky', 'Team GB', etc that sounds stupid to me. If they were just called Sky it wouldn't sound stupid (to me); 'Team Sky' sounds like something out of Thunderbirds. Team Sky are go!

agreed; a bit like saying 'team liverpool are competing against team manchester united in a sport soccer game tonight at stadium anfield'.

if someone paid me enough i wouldn't care what it was called

Are cycling teams not usually named after their sponsor?

Jack Bauer has been getting a lot of mentions on the Tour of Britain today.

Why am I disappointed that he doesn't look like Kiefer Sutherland?

Looks to me like a UK hill climb TTers bike. They love using cut off bars, old low pro bikes and down tube shifters to save weight.

the wheels look very spoke-heavy, but i think that's just the motion blur (which has been applied to the spokes but not the valves, seemingly)
