Surprised no-one has mentioned this before now unless i've missed the post? A few of the regulars (and maybe not so regulars) on here get their commuting Top Tips quoted in the C+ 'ride to work' supplement. Step forward and take a bow: Clarkey Cat, UE, TWH, Ketsbaia, JG, Mattsaw, Walkman, Snooks, Sanderville, Mrushton, simonAH, Chunkyftg and Pastryboy....

    When I read
    People wear proper cycling gear for a reason, not to look cool; invest in some. The wicking fabric (which takes sweat away from your skin) really works, as does a decent windproof. It’s worth the money.

    in the artical a couple of days ago I thought I said that. Well I did.

    Bike Radar is now the cycling equivalent to Mumsnet.

    Expect regular appearances on the BBC every time the subject of cycling comes up in the news.

    I am confused (which is easily done!), there only seem to be four people in second photo on Bike Radar guide to SCR.

    JZed mentions five people in his post? Is there a different photo in magazine?

    There are five in the photo. The online version's split it into two.

    Yeah, the picture has been split into two so that you can chose between the sexist "Burds don't ride bikes" version:
    1302875792860-15a1s6k20feek-800-75.jpg

    or the racist "Blacks don't ride bikes" version:

    It seems very odd they have split one photo into two, maybe the site has an image size restriction so it doesn't make the page layout go wrong.
