Over the next couple of days, if you are stuck somewhere where you can't get out for a ride you might want to get your nose stuck into a disturbing book, namely 'The Secret Race' by Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle. It's all about the prolific drug taking in the pro pelotons during the Armstrong era. It shocked me and it will shock you. Pick it up from Amazon.

    Is it as disturbing as the Human Centipede?

    Would it be beneficial for a human centipede to do leg-strengthening exercises to make it go faster on a bike?

    Human centipede 2 was worse. Acting was terrible, it was like they'd never been bound together arse to mouth before...
