Not to date meself or anything but the standard of hire bikes these days is far superior to what was on offer around the, er..., mid 80s, when tractor tyres and BMX pedals were all the rage. I really don't think that someone on a hire bike with their own pedals is at much of a disadvantage. Certainly suitable enough for a training session.
Olympic fever and sunny weather really brought them out today though. As ever, hats off to the coaches for controlling everything.
