Football related thing, part one

Published by Jonty Wirral on 6/28/2006 at 10:30.

So we never quite got round to posting all the World Cup related things we had planned. But since the Tour de France starts AND England's World Cup ends on Saturday, this week is the perfect time for a World Cup blowout.

Thing one: a bicycle football match!

Football's boring, there's hardly any bike riding in it at all. OR IS THERE?


The grey blob is actually a football. It looks better in motion, honest.


If you listen really closely, you can hear someone doing their own version of the classic football shout, "Break his legs". "Dent his top tube," they say. We're not lying.

Like football, but better.

Recent vitriol


Which cyclists have we libelled this month?

These ones haven't aged well


Much like Laurent Brochard

Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Script extracts, because these seem to be popular for some reason

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
