    What is his biggest regret of his professional career as a cyclist? (as opposed to pundit cum bike seller)

    It feels like the sort of thing he's probably fed up of answering, but I'd ask if he's annoyed (having set the hour record in the superman position and in a merckx style) that they've now moved the goalposts and all these young upstarts keep nibbling away at a record that should arguably still be his, or if he's happy that the event is getting the attention.

    I was going to ask him how as investment in infrastructure increases we actually meet the challenge of building what cyclists need as opposed to what we generally currently get. The session ended before I got the chance.

    Ah well.

    Just stuff about businesses backing the call for more cycling and how cycling infrastructure can work. Generally a thank you that we are supporting the British Cycling push for improved cycling facilities in the UK.

    BC tweeted some pictures. Not many folks there due to meetings and such.

    Or put cynically, the Cycling industry encouraging the government to make cycling more attractive so they can sell more bikes etc? And make more money?

    Surely building decent cycling infrastructure will make them more money than rubbish infrastructure?
