@badtmy - nice one dude..yeah I know, the sloppy/wanky journo/media card is a well-thumbed one, but it's one we seem to get dealt constantly and I have to be reminded of it most days. It's troubled me for years, just one of my big beefs I guess. I do genuinely get concerned at how much of a bunch of mugs they take people for and how I come to be affected by them even when I try to avoid them.
See I liked that recent Independent article (even though Minh Ai was less than satisfied and said the guy sort of made a general paraphrasing of their conversation) because it showed people who love cycling and had them explain why. Cycling around is so .. can I use the word "pure"..? that it smells a bit fishy when it's given this treatment. I mean, you want to advertise your wares, buy some ad space, no?
Saying that, the Pope's Colnago remains one of my all time favourites: Colnago, gold bike, or PR stunt...
