British Cycling Employs Ricky Gervais

There's a comedy riot over at British Cycling's report for the recent Pan American Disability Games.

For the most part it's just all the same unjustified wordy nonsense that turns up all day in our email inbox in the form of press releases while we're waiting for someone to send us special offers on Chinese viagra. Until, that is, you reach the curiously out of place photo of the beetle at the bottom of the page.


Controversy! The original caption said:

One of about 50 beetles that patrol the track infield - sorry it's not a great pic, I was shaking with nerves as it looked as though it was about to take my arm off!!

Awesome.

Tomorrow
We get equally excited by a different photograph of a beetle. In lieu of animals on bikes, we're accepting animals with tenuous links to cycling.


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.

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.
