Regrets, she's had a few, but then again....she's doing it her Way.

Very good.

She is very unremorseful.

This little bit seems to have appeared at the bottom of the story since I looked at it earlier...

'Way refused to comment as she left court, saying she had signed an exclusive television deal.'

Wonder how they will spin that, I assume as she was found not guilty of the driving charge she will spin that she was found not guilty of any driving offence and it will be full of remorse and how it was the cyclists fault!

It is either to avoid the gert big trucks OR because their Mum won't let them on the road like the big boys and girls.

I always have a little smirk when I see some chavvy hard man riding on the pavement because he ain't got the balls to ride on road.

Lots that I don't like about this story:
1. The perils of social media. The idiocy of the original tweets and the subsequent 'threats' that she claims she has had since and losing a job over it all.
2. Failing to stop after an accident. Even if the chap wasn't on the ground, common decency would dictate that one would stop and talk to the other person. (Although I am a 6ft plus, large, middle aged gentleman rather than a 22 year old young lady)
3. Profiting out of the situation with an 'exclusivity' deal.
4. The media 'frenzy' of it all.

Ouch!

How did your bike come out of it?

Not a lot wrong with it, but I've been told to change my carbon forks as you don't know if they've cracked inside

Anyone been to Aldi's today for their next cycling kit day?

Have refrained thus far as I don't 'need' any of the stuff, just 'want' some of it!

Nope as I am off work this week so not in Manchester.  But I would strongly recommend their winter gloves,  so good I bought two pairs last time - at least as good as the 30 quid seal skinz ones I have.

although i do enjoy my commute and trips on the bike at the weekend i wouldn't contemplate cycling in london for fear of the sheer volume of traffic.

having visited copenhagen earlier in the year i was loving what they appear to have done with cycling lanes, namely having raised curbs instead of bollocky paint that can quite easily be driven/cycled over.

i've been quite lucky, i've only ever had issues cycling when attempting to be a previously referred to cunt and hop up onto a curb (on a road bike) (only to go arse over tit at speed), but i'm massively aware of drivers being far too eager to get one bike length ahead of me in a queue.

and to conclude, i read this whilst bored at work, i quite enjoyed it:

I like to think NMH is actually a secret rave enthusiast and this whole cycling thing is just a cover so he can buy flourescent/dayglo stuff without looking suspicious.

Been out this afternoon for a crafty 31 mile spin, freezing my bollocks off except for my hands which stayed toasty warm due to my £5 Aldi gloves.

I bought the jacket and the leggings - not cheap, but good quality, so good value
