Vague thoughts and irrational decision making by a vegetarian who's more than a little interested in cycling and endurance events.

WTF (reprise)
If it is not only appalling that the life of a cyclist, killed by a driver who was clearly in the wrong, is worth next to nothing (Is a £200 fine and three points on your licence an appropriate punishment for killing a cyclist on the road).
We now get the indignity of this
Apparently the fact that Matthew's parents didn't make him wear a helmet, is mitigation for the following behaviour...
"Weaving was found guilty by a jury in December 2008 of manslaughter and other charges after the court heard he had driven at 83mph in a 45mph zone in Connecticut. His record showed that he had been arrested on five previous occasions for drunk driving."
...and it's the lack of a helmet that is causing the mental anguish?

bike loan...
I am currently the recipient of a loan bicycle from my friend Isa (similar to the picture on the left). It is a 1970's ladies road racing bike in champagne gold. It is a little more glittery than my usual choive of steed, but I'm finding the step through frame (reminds me of the brompton) helpful. I know Jarvis Cocker rode around Paris on a ladies cycle... but it got me thinking. I have a lovely 1980's Raleigh Superb (ladies) at my parents house... Could I... Should I?
Are ladies bikes just for ladies? What if I find this more convenient?
