Who can come up with the most controversial question for a thread. Here's my starter for 10:

Is it essential to wear a world champion's jersey and a helmet whilst strength training on your bike? :wink::wink::wink:

  • I was born on exactly same day as Floyd Landis. He was truly great on a bike but fell from grace for cheating, and I fell from my bike (more than once) and have no grace, cheating or no. We're almost identical, see?

    Any other cycling twins out there?

    My Lance Armstrong endorsed Rapha underpants which I wear under my lycra for commuting in to my job as a Daily Mail reporter on my brilliant Halfords hybrid are really good... (I just wish they weren't made by Chinese people). Can anyone recommend me some tyres to match?


    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Which star sign for sportives?
    As a Gemini I often wonder what the best starsign is for doing sportives. What would be the best alignment of the planets for a hilly 100? Should I get a tandem?
