Turns out we're down in London at the end of the month, so will do a bit of a trawl then. I hate to say this, but the Rapha hardshell looks very appealing

Yep. Digging out the rollers this weekend.

That just moves it! Must try something else!

I have the full gamut from thin tights to proper roubaix full length bibs, cap to wooly hat, depending on the weather. It can get proper brutal on the moors. I was once recommended some battery powered heated socks, but aesthetically such things are unacceptable. I just want to have a good...

^ the above comments are, of course based purely on cycling ability and needs, not jealousy. Oh no.

Cheers you 2. I'm going to have to do a trawl of the local bike shops as well, before commiting. Up here, you need to add gloves, foot protection, some long shorts and a hat to your list Jenks. Unfortunately Rapha stuff screams 'dentist' a little too much- a guy on my train to work has the...

So, it appears that winter has already started in the north and I need a new winter cycling jacket. I have been looking at this for a while, but it's expensive. But do you lot have other recommendations?

Interesting. I might leave this here for a bit. See what happens.

We went when we were down in London for the day for the Olympics (used 4linehaiku's map-nice one!). It was lush. Even the two toddlers in the party enjoyed the less spicy dishes. Did you go in the 'hot' restaurant, or the 'normal' one? The waiter in the 'hot' one, saw the push chairs and...

Because the only sports the media understands are football, golf, tennis and cricket, lets focus on fashion, OK? Bradley Wiggins: What is a mod? "If sport replicated life, Bradley Wiggins would have ridden up the Champs Elysees on a shiny Lambretta scooter" "His thin torso, narrow shoulders...

Jenks, I am now following you on Strava. You should be able to guess my name ;).

Fuck me. That was far from boring! That Millar article conflates boring and easy for some reason- has anyone argued this year's Tour has been easy?

Any perceived dullness is not a slight on Wiggins though, is it? They are two different issues. Sky's dominance has to be admired (and wiggins' win is a great thing), but grinding at tempo for hours is not necessarily exciting viewing. Having said that I have watched a lot and enjoyed it, but...

It's been a pretty boring tour TBH, especially after last year's edition, apart from Sagan and David Millar's stage win on the anniversary of Tom Simpson's death and his honesty in post race interviews. Oh, and Voeckler. No-one being able to de-rail Sky and their grinding dominance; Froome...

^ Nibali is a favoured GC contender Euskaltel-Euskadi will make a showing in the mountains Haven't Sky got a Columbian riding?

Only Frank Schleck this year (Andy's injured) and he's already minutes behind yellow. Thomas is concentrating on Olympics. Cav and Sagan have been good. Radioshack have the worst helmets I think I've ever seen

I'm assuming that becuase it is still pissing it down like a shitty April, no-one has realised that the TDF has started. Woo hoo! Bradley's done a Prince: Wigg Châteaux! (Not to mention Lance's problems)

Right, first things first, a decent name for this thread, please. Secondly, would The Necks fit in here?
