You look like a blobby Blondin with the family jewels on display" |

He didn't - that's why it was a side rant. OTOH he did recommend it as the thing to wear on your bike - which for a piece of kit designed to be used in crap weather conditions is a bit wrong IMO. I have emailed the manufacturers, but don't expect anything to come of it. cheers, clive |

Fair enough. It's not perfect, but the article still manages to communicate the attraction of our chosen sport very well. If it encourages a few more people onto their bikes, I certainly wouldn't complain. Having rediscovered cycling myself this summer after a 3-year absence, I can certainly identify with the author. |

I didn't catch much of that bit of the programme. I would have suggested following the Thames Path from Tower Bridge, down through Greenwich and to the Barrier. All locations mentioned by his previous guest. Robert Elms wrote 'The Way We Wore', which was recently serialised on Radio 4. Seldom have I felt I really could not relate to things described, even though they all sounded *so* familiar. Turns out we were at the same school at almost exactly the same time; he was in the year below me, but I never knew him. If I can't relate to what he writes about cycling, I'm not surprised; I was cycling in Burnt Oak in 1975 (and 2000). -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
