Don't know about Brighton but The Cycle Store in Worthing stock Pinarellos and they'll get you one.

Or hang onto the gyratory washing line.

No it doesn't. In hindsight banning Boardman et al was the right move, they were clearly heading in an F1 direction. That would have transferred onto the road. As it stands now, one of the criteria for the likes of Chris Froome is ALL their kit has to be available to the general public. So...

I guess that is the advantage Wiggins has, even when he was blowing it out his backside yesterday, he still looked amazingly comfortable. Esp if there's an Alp or two in the middle. Martin's Tour last year was amazing. (Spot the man getting excited already!)

Can I take from that I'm not alone in thinking BW didn't 'put the record out of reach'. Obviously it was an epic achievement, and fantastically done. Plenty of people will fail to reach that mark. But I couldn't help thinking aside from the Sky hyperbole (I know, I know) Dowsett, Martin &...

Calm down, it's not like he's been on a 'geek' club ride. :lolol:

No idea but I'll hazard 2 guesses:- 1) They are Paul Smith's. & B) You can't afford them.

I was really bizarre, esp on a big screen. Very much an old skool programme that looked great. I got an appreciation for the joke news stories about 'the most popular programme in Finland is a log fire'. Clearly nothing was happening, just water lapping the side of the boat, and bird song. All...

Did you watch any of that on BBC4 a few weeks ago. All it was, was a camera on the front of a Kennet and Avon barge. Occasionally facts about passing landmarks came towards 'you' in the water. Completely mesmerising.

But you can't keep away! I've never not said it wasn't dull 'hardly a spectator sport'. But it is an event, and Sir Bradley of Wigginshire is 'box office'. Plus crash videos can't do any harm, can they?

Glanders is going. He should be easy enough to spot as he's likely to be the only one in the crowd pointing out how slow BW is going. :lol:

Hopefully they'll remember to remove the bike stand:- Anyone care to guess what I'm doing this morning, before going for a ride? :facepalm:

Damn straight

Just in case anyone doubts quite what a nail biting, edge of the seat, spectacle they are setting themselves up for. Here is the current record being set:- I'm sure you'll agree at makes F1 look like paint drying :lol:

Bradley Wiggins will attempt the UCI Hour Record this Sunday at the Lee Valley VeloPark aboard a Pinarello Bolide HR. The bike was co-engineered by Jaguar and the Italian bicycle company, with Wiggins calling it "the most aerodynamic track bike I've ever ridden". Wiggins' Bolide HR is based on...

It's on Sky Sports 2. Sky 2 Pick (Freeview Chl 11)

You forgot to add, in an hour. I doubt he'll do 56km, more like 54, which will be quite something.

As Hans says it's not really a dip in and out of event, hence it not really being a, casual fan, spectator sport. It's only about distance and time. So on the one hand it's the very essence of a world record. But conversely there is nothing happening but a bloke riding in a circle, and a clock...

In what is the nicheiest of niche events, BW will be attempting to break the record for distance covered around the velodrome in one hour, it currently stands at 52.937km and is held by Alex Dowsett. I'm not going to lie to you, it's hardly a spectator sport. Although the metronomic way it's...
