That's pretty exciting. Perhaps, if the Reading leg's a success, the Tour de France organisers might want to consider our town, too, for inclusion in a stage (this year's race will be launched in London). Or is that a wheely crazy idea? Cyclists should obey the rules, like everyone else. Sometimes they put themselves in a lot of danger. Drivers can also be a bit more understanding and cautious, too, I think. I should add that I write as a neutral, as I neither drive nor cycle. I didn’t know that, about the Tour of Great Britain.

As much as I'd like to see more cycle lanes and bike-friendly road layouts around the town, I'd prefer it first if the cyclists would learn a bit of etiquette. The number of times they've blinded pulled across me, or tried to negotiate the dirt path down the A33, has astounded me!
