They&#8217;d figure out how to get over 1,500mpg
They&#8217;d always leave you with a smile on your face
They&#8217;d allow you to connect to your surroundings
Most of the bits on them would be simple enough for the average Joe / Joanna to figure out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This video appeared on Cyclelicio.us a few days ago. It shows that you&#8217;re far, far &#34;safer&#34; to take the lane on a dual carriageway than to ride along the hard shoulder. In so doing, the overtaking traffic gives you a much wider berth than if you&#8217;ve already marginalised yourself to the edge of the road:

So today I was doing drills.
Yawn. 
Actually, if you interpserse them with some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It must have been a roller-coaster of a New Year. Because it completely slipped my mind that 1st January 2010 was the tenth anniversary of both my parents giving up smoking.
Well done to the pair of you - I&#8217;m SO proud of your achievement!

Strangely enough, I find that I run really well off the [...]]]></description>

What better excuse do you need to get out in the elements and experience some wind-in-your-face cycling?
I did one of my favourite loops, taking in the three hills at Sidegate, Stanley, and [...]]]></description>

Actually it was quite a fun run - apart from treading in unexpected puddles in those areas where the streetlights don&#8217;t shine. Oh, and the freezing cold that grabbed me as soon as I stopped running.
The pace wasn&#8217;t exactly stellar, but I wasn&#8217;t actually trying to push [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So my plan was to cycle into work on Thursday. But two things prevented this - another freezing night that left the [largely untreated roads and completely untreated cycle routes] slippier than I&#8217;d trust, and more critically, a complete inability to wake up to the alarm.
zzzzzzzzz.
So I treated myself (and the neighbours) to my own [...]]]></description>

My thoughts&#8230;
&#8230; that sea looks quite choppy, with a lot of people for me to get in the way of. I&#8217;d better hang back at the start or I&#8217;m going to get well and truly swum over!
&#8230; those climbs in the first half of the bike course look pretty brutal. Also interesting to note that [...]]]></description>

To begin with, there was the whole thing of getting out of bed - after an early night, I&#8217;d had nearly nine hours&#8217; sleep, but the bed was sooo warm, and the bedroom freezing cold.
Then there was the drive into [...]]]></description>
