    Shear weight? Will that cause the cyclists to snap?

    Don't be silly.

    It's the weight they have to be before they get hauled in to be sheared.

    Baaaaaaaa!
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Bike 1
    Bike 2-A

    Look, I'm be serious here, there were so many cyclists at Hyde Park Corner this morning I was fully expecting the whole place to rip asunder and dump us all on the piccadilly line platforms!

    I had to pass about 10 cyclists on my ride in this morning. It wouldn't be so bad if they could hold their lines. Grrr! Roll on winter!
