how cool is this. Dubai had a new 50-odd km dedicated cycle road/track... and HRH decides to go for a ride on it ..

    I take it you wouldn't be allowed to ride with shorts on though?

    That's really good, 50k of smooth new tarmac that's never likely to get potholes :D

    Does it go anywhere, is it circular, is it flat, does it go straight out to that nice beach (pictured) and end suddenly?

    Dunno, but his bodyguards should shoot him for half-wheeling.

    I like the idea of 50k of smooth, traffic-free tarmac, but the scenery looks like an early Star Wars set.

    And I think the mudguards could probably go.

    No idea to be honest. :D

    I just thought in Islamic law you were not allowed to wear shorts. :mrgreen:

    It will be a great ride until you see one of the HRH's coming towards you at 100+ in a Ferrari.

    Yes, I know it's supposed to be a cycle lane, but traffic rules don't seem to apply to them.


    The older I get, the better I was.
