Bicycle Race

[Tom Crispin]

Nothing particularly unusual in this photo of the start of a bicycle
race, but loads of *really* nice bicycles.

Imagine that lot bearing down on you at speed.
I notice that there are a lot of helmets being worn to protect their
heads, what other protection could be suggested?

On another note, are they what used to be known as 'town bikes'?

Actually a few very badly fitted hairnet style helmets. But look at
those tan lines! Worse than you get from bibshorts. (looks over
shoulder).

Now then Round - no need to be abusive.

I bet the site of all those saddles waiting for a sniff got the old
taste buds agitated.

An URC myth: Cycling is no more dangerous that walking:

Wrong:

The DfT state that there are 533 cyclists killed or seriously injured for every 384 pedestrians.

ie Cycling is 38% more dangerous than walking

I've read elsewhere that the bikes were loaned Halfrauds gas-pipe specials.

I've also read elsewhere that Halfrauds' The Mgt insisted on fitting each
and every bike with a new saddle after the shoot.

Excellent - the pinnacle at last.

Someone forging my name and posts.

I must have really got up the nose of someone.

It is odds on Chapman - neat to put in the Chapman sig - that'll throw
her off the scent ;-)

Even though those "fat bottomed girls" in the photo are probably
grandmothers now, I expect there are a fair few people who'd bid a
premium for their sat on saddles on Ebay.

I have a vague recollection that Hugh Porter was somehow involved in
this - or was it Duffield? This was during a lull in a race commentary.

Anyway he was working for Halfords and took the bikes from the
shop/warehouse and had to go round adjusting each bike for the ladies.
It took place at Crystal Palace track and the bikes went back to the
shop by Monday morning.

And of course another forgery - the header gives the game away.


What sort of sad ******* could go to all that trouble to post a
message which appears to come from me - but will not be seen by people
as I am in their kill-files.

The phrase what a ****wit springs to mind.

The usual suspect is Chapman of course - having shown him up with his
incorrect system time and time/zones which took about a week for him
to find I suppose he thinks it is revenge.

You've failed yet again.

In the UK in 2007
There were 30,959 pedestrians injured in traffice accidents
There were 16,415 cyclists injured in traffic accidents

I wonder what the relative numbers of pedestrians and cyclists
in the UK is?

It looks like cycling is much more dangerous than being a pedestrian.
