Abso-diddley-lutely. I know (4,2,x) clues are a bit of a giveaway but it was on my mind as I'm riding it next year. Next time I'll think up a proper clue.
Whistle-blower heard Hannibal used to be seen on a bike. (9)
Reflector (ref...Lector)
Help improve times in event with short waiting list (10)
Edit: In case I don't pop back to check replies, there is a second cryptic clue here (no peeking), which should have an obvious connection if you have the right answer: http://tinyurl.com/c2we5z
Tandem? (as in the song, a bicycle built for two).
PAH! That's just too..... too..... EASY! Of course I thought of tandem but I didn't think that could be all there was to it!!!!! It should have been something much much CLEVERER! GRrrrr!!

My bad? I'll try harder for harder clues then - but some clues just make me smile, whether they're hard or easy. Anyhow, bazzargh has left us with one I can't figure out which end I should pick it up from. And then he's left another little cryptic clue online which is related...
No stefanos, that's not it (I assume you think there's a connection from that word to 'stream', but the connection is the /literal meaning/ of the second clue)
Ok I'm surprised this has stood, though it is a 'proper' cryptic, and is a bit evil in that the surface meaning suggests one connection to cycling when the answer is something completely different.
I'll reword it a bit with slightly more blatant clues. I think this change is enough that you could guess it and work your way back:
Helper changes times in event with endless waiting list (10)

Nope, just rubbish at cryptic crosswords, said it with confidence in the hope we could move on :roll: :arrow:

Oops, sorry Ruth, didn't see your clue down at the bottom of the page. (Must get new reading glasses...)

This Odyssey is a holiday next to Homer's! (4,2,8)
Yes, there have been some fun ones. Hope you're recovered from whatever kept you in bed for 2 days. (Assuming it wasn't just pleasure.)

I can't get slipstream out my mind......but can't put the whole thing together to be sure.
