Broadcast earlier today (sorry if anyone posted earlier), available [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yfq5f ]here[/url] for another week.

I particularly liked this quote from 1818...

โ€œSharpen your pens, followers of fashion. Very soon the races will commence, and imagine how the women folk will be infatuated when they learn how effortlessly your legs can drive a lady along, as is done on sleigh rides...โ€

Yes, quite. Could have been written (in hope) by half of the male riders I've met over the years. What is it they say about history repeating as tragedy and farce... Thinking of referring to my bike as a dandyhorse from now on too.
