The second best thing you do after riding your basic bicycle home is to get it insured! OK! Prehaps you should take a picture of it and then then get it insured.
If you ride a basic bicycle, lets hope that you have no free hands to play with the gadgets or have your ears plugged with an mp3 player!
Accidents, are happening around us a lot. Even though we drive our vehicles as carefully as possible but it is always the other drivers that we have to worry about - right?
How can we cope with the potential of an accident? Being aware of everything around ue when we ride or drive and not getting distracted by cell phones, dvd players, gps systems etc. Of course its easy for me to say all of this, but you know that what I'm writing about is very often true.
Get rid of the distraction and concentrate more on riding or driving, and then you will be able to deal more speedily with the other driver's bad driving.

Unfortunately just Jon will be braving the Ventoux this year - not sure if he'll be wearing the BBC kit, but I'll ask.
I'm hoping he'll be able to film some of it, but nothing definite as yet.

Excellent video ... By: worthingdaveo7o. on 16 Aug 08, 11:32:44 Excellent video guys,
Only learnt about your videos after spotting you on your puncture stop. That tourmalet climb was painful, mist/fog etc.
I was chuffed to beat the 1st elimination. Just made it to hautacam . Would reccommend this event to everyone.
Looking forward to 2009,will try to do a bit more training next time!!! Maybe have a glass or two pre/post etape?
Dave ( currently tapering and carb loading for 2009)!!!!!

Hopefully I'll be there in 2010 as we've all caught the bug and are going back next year for sure
I didn't say you ... By: lollygag33. on 14 Jul 08, 12:15:37 I didn't say you were too fat, and that you were going to die...I said "I'm genuinely worried for your health, you are a bit over-weight, and watch your HRM"...which you clearly did. Therefore, I'm laying claim to your safe and successful finish of the Etape! You wouldn't have been able to do it without me. Seriously...chapeau. If you are there in 2010 I'll buy you a beer as I'm going to do it for my 40th.

By: wotswhat. on 14 Jul 08, 10:46:24 Thoroughly enjoyed your journey from journalist to pedal pushing athletes.I look forward to your return in 2009.The story would have been all the duller if you had swanned up the hills in glorious sunshine,had no punctures, cleared all the elimination points by hours and not fallen off the bike. (although there might then have been cries of doping).

I made the finish and sounds like you got a bum deal on elminaion as you were through the check point at the bottom in time.
Rumour has it they were mopping up due to weather conditons closing in.
my brakes broke at the top and walking back down was like walking in pea soup
hope to see you again.......... allez!!

yeah that's what I ... By: dblueroom. on 29 Jul 09, 12:34:58 yeah that's what I thought. the press never said he was tested positive and you'd imagine he was tested in 07 TDF but nothing came out of it. I hope he will return with his form next year

Rasmussen was the best and they just couldnt accept that, also all that say that he should be taken out for doping, well look at valverde,contador,armstrong,basso and pantani. all those have also taken drugs so they shouldnt ride also
