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…

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!”
Yes, I see what you mean!
