QUOTE OF THE WEEK
 

“The place of cycling in our society is set to grow, and I am committed to doing everything possible to encourage that.” - Labour Party Leader Gordon Brown 2008 (oh yes?)

 

BICYCLIST OF THE WEEK

A good week for cycling party leaders. Not such a good week for non-cycling party leaders.

FINALLY
Last week it was to wear ... or not to wear Rapha. This week this guy definitely is. If you want to see serious professionals do serious criteriums then you have a treat tomorrow (Saturday) night - that's right in the dark. Bradley brings his Team Wiggins  to take on JLT Condor, Cannondale-Drapac and more.

Start 21:20 on a course starting near St Paul's Cathedral. More here: http://www.raphanocturne.com/

Happy Cycling!
