    A daily mail cycling feature with any reference to Tax, Insurance, Licenses, Helmets, Pavement Riding, Red Light Jumping etc....

    Tempted to do some trolling but that would be wrong.

    Also she's far too thin, to the point of being not very attractive at all.....

    Actress? What's she been in then never heard of her.

    It's not really a cycling feature, it's about 17 surreptitiously taken photos of a woman in a bikini. Any excuse for the DM, not that they won't complain about a 'raunchy' performance on the X Factor* in a few months time. :wink:



    *No doubt printing a load of photos of it (last time it was a full colour, double page spread) and putting videos of the 'shocking' dancing on the website.

    Yeah, pah. The last time I rode through Bristol it was in the buff.

    Seriously, though. Is this a pathetic attempt by a D list sleb to get some column inches or what. Do you reckon she called the paps that day or gave them a weeks notice?

    The Mail is the ultimate paper for the frumpy one in the corner who you know is secretly a real filthy animal in the sack.

    You spelt 'grumpy' wrong. And accidently extended the sentence past the word 'corner'.

    It has exactly the same journalistic standards and morals as the Guardian though, obviously. :wink:

    Can't believe nobody has commented upon her lack of helmet. Maybe her airbags will cushion any fall?

    I just read that.

    Since when was pootling along a "sporty bike ride", and since when did people look that serene on a 'lung busting work out'?

    Pfft, I'll show her lung busting.

    Isn't that her lungs I can see busting out? Maybe not....

    Why can't the paps just leave her alone? Can't they see that she just wants to blend in like everyone else?

    If you read the article rather than salivating over the pics you would see there is a reference to 'safety' and 'helmets' :wink:

    Safety campaigners will be outraged the pretty star did not wear a helmet as she enjoyed her lung-bursting workout.
