The tour of Britain is in the UK this week. In fact, yesterday it passed through my local training roads. Including Streatley Hill a category 2 King of the Mountains – a hill I have often raced on myself.
British cycling is definitely on the up, after a great Olympics performance. Local velodromes are saying that they are sold out. Many people are wanting to have a taste of the track, emulating the Olympic medallists. I hope that the enthusiasm and interest doesn’t prove short lived, but, becomes a permanent increase.
Just maybe, the better image of cycling may even translate into better attitudes to cyclists on the road. We can only hope…

Yes, I see what you mean!
The guy at the back in the blue and yellow seems to have a speech bubble above his head. Is this some kind of caption competition?
I reckon he’s saying to a team mate “Dude, remind me never to wear pink arm warmers!”
