Super cool women doing neat things on bikes

Harris is paying tribute to her team mate, Amy Dombroski, who was tragically killed in a crash ten days ago.

Bravo Joanna Rowsell!

You dont see many decent track stands in female track sprint .. Jess and Cueff held this for over 20 seconds in the Euros...Limit is 30...Cueff lead off as in front..

You dont see many decent track stands...Limit is 30s

I think the second part of your comment explains the first. Putting such a short time limit in place has made standstills a bit pointless.

3min would be an alright limit. But still not as good as it used to be

Not completely. The lead rider had lost the first round from the front and was pressuring for a leadout. Agreed its short at 30 secs but the run into the stand can make be very difficult to control. Ie Meares and Vix in Olympics.

a bit

Not completely

That's the difference between glass half full and half empty ;-)

She's done LEL and now she's doing RAAM.

What a dude. I like her. She follows First Capital Connect on Twitter and likes to point out their trains are slower than she is getting from St Albans to London.

I've just watched this, and for a regional ITV programme its bloody brilliant. Super cool, inspirational, heroic women, doing awesome cool stuff on bikes? Affirmative.

Thanks for that, will watch later.

Rachel Atherton being awesome again: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cycling/bt-sport-action-woman-of-the-year-downhill-route-takes-rachel-atherton-to-the-top-9085550.html (note: annoying link with video that starts playing automatically on it)

Is the person responsible for this on here?

It's the sweetest idea I've seen in ages! My friend ordered some flowers for his Valentine last week and got a personal email when they were delivered. It's also so cheap! She didn't even raise her rate for what must be the busiest days of the year.

I wish I had someone to send flowers to!

It's great to see a dedicated company for this. Flower delivery by bike is nothing new, of course--Nhatt and others used to deliver flowers for Velorution all the time (on a different business model, with Velorution used as couriers, I think). It does look like a neat idea, I hope it works for her. Obviously, I love it that she's called Florence. :)

Ya mum? granny?

Bath, whilst effectively a suburb of west London in terms of house prices, demographics and dangerously low pub quality, is unfortunately too far away for delivering flowers by bike.

I would have some delivered to the office but the directors have ruled it out as flowers are 'off brand'

Ha at the commentator;

"they're coming into the last lap now, its going to be so close ..."

The difference between each other is amazing.

Sarah look out of place, her legs is wide apart as well as her arms, knees almost touching elbow, lots of hip rocking trying to exert enough power to keep up, constantly pushing.

Joanna's knees almost touching the top tube, elbow is closed together, no rocking whatsoever, not even in the slightest.

You are right, Joanna is really really smooth.

Indeed a superb ride by Jo, well deserved.

I'm sure that Jo Rowsell may have looked better, but it is worth noting that Sarah Hammer is a world-class rider ... who incidentally won the omnium ...

I was having a casual conversation with the woman taking my order for noodles yesterday, and we spoke about Summer holidays.

10,000 km across Canada and Alaska, apparently.

As you do.
