As we're on a bike we must just be pootling down the shops as that's all one can actually do on a bike? I do like the way the comment seems to be supporting that level of protection for a road ride!

ORLANDO BLOOM takes his bike-riding seriously.

Here he is on a day out on his souped-up mountain bike.
His safety gear included a helmet, protective shades, knee and elbow pads.
I know road safety is important, but that's a little over-cautious.
I guess riding around Santa Monica's roads can be a risky business.

Yes, from [url= http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3280871/Orlando-is-Bloom-ing-sensible.html ]The Sun[/url] :/

Isn't it just an insight into the way a sub-editor on the Sun who knows nothing about bikes and has to fill a photo-caption is struggling to say anything more interesting than: 'Here is world-renowned elf, Orlando Bloom on a bicycle'?

I dunno, I'm not really very bothered what the general population or the Sun thinks of mountain bikers.

He's just landed a massive drop to flat, you can tell by his face.

looks a bit like a guy i see on my commute. lappierre spicy, but with slick tyres, i think he might be a bit overbiked.
