Fatbikes in the FT

And helmets are useless in the Torygraph

It's a rare weekend when there isn't some cycling related feature in the Guardian, like a cycling tour of artisan bakeries in dorset

I couldn't see anything in the guardian today though - looking for a hatrick

But Fatbikes and helmets in two papers on the same day - a treat for STW debate!!!!

Mr Marsh said that he had been riding his bike for 40 years, wearing a cowboy hat, and had only fallen off once.

Right, cancel the skills course, I'm obviously just wearing the wrong headgear.

Notice the pic in the D Tel article on their website: a fashion victim in a helmet. Look mate, it's supposed to save your head if you faceplant. Like that your forehead will take the impact and save your helmet from damage.

The FT article has Yurts in Oregon - I guess that meant the Guardian writer lost out in a travel top trumps show down and opted for a no show rather than Boutique in Belgium
