Cycling on Television (TV)

For those who are keen to learn more about Clunker bicycle, check out this documentary

hasn't seen it yet though which is a shame.

i met Joe Breeze a couple of weeks ago. nice chap, he's back in the mtb business and has a real nice steel hardtail that may be coming to this country if he finds an importer.
i was trying to explain to Roger Rinderknecht (runner up 4X at the worlds) how mtb's wouldn't exist without people like Breeze (who was standing next to us). he had never heard of him.

Author Rob Penn travels around the world collecting handbuilt parts for his dream bicycle and charts the social history of one of mankind's greatest inventions.

Hippy!

Saw this when it was on.. What a hipster. Incongruous brooks saddle with a horrible colour scheme

his voice is utterly annoying.

Disappointing.
We all know that bike was crying out for a spok.

45mins 36seconds in
edit- just seen the finished product. Ugly.

Anyone seen that Britain by Bike series with Clare Balding that's on at the mo? Any good? She does annoy me A bit though.

Funny stage in Tour of Poland with a bloke raising his arms for the win... with a lap to go.

Irishman Dan Martin won yesterday's stage.
Big attack on the last hill and ineffective response. Might actually be in the leader's jersey now.

He is. He has an 8 second lead with one stage remaining, a flat stage for the sprinters. There are time bonuses so it could be quite close.

Any body see him on the program about building a dream bike. Link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00t6ylx/Ride_of_My_Life_The_Story_of_the_Bicycle/

Britain by Bike 8.30 BBC4

This message brought to you by Team Awesome.

I just watched the first episode of this. The Exmoor area looks amazing. At the beginning, in Lynmouth, she goes on the water-powered tram up a 500ft incline; which her guide tells her to use as the alternative road is rather steep...my interest was piqued. After some googling, I found lynmouth hill, which looks quite steep. Has anyone been up it? I might visit the area when I have some time off.

I've been there. On a miserable family holiday, it was raining a lot, but I remember my dad driving up the hill, it was very steep.

Forum ride?

I fear that now summer is over any visit there will be a rain sodden affair. But a ride would be good...

21 minutes into episode 5 of Britain by Bike is definitely the best part of the season, a man in tweed shows off his restored fixie, one of three in the world apparently.

Hmm... Eneco Tour? Is it on? Did I miss it? Can I be arsed to walked to the TV to look? No.

Greipel won today, beating assorted Australians, one of whom had beaten him yesterday.

McEwen got a win. Wicked. Greiwho?

Pity McEwen didn't get anything in the Tour. He was up there.
Not bad for his age especially considering the issues he had.

Wahey! Bobridge's first Pro win. Congrats
