    Wiggins Discussion thread.

    Hypocritical eh? In the same way that Wiggins shoots his mouth off about journos asking about doping yet hopes they'll big up his riding exploits on the next page I suppose... Say what you like about Armstrong, but at least he could articulate a fair reason as to why he shouldn't be accused...

    Wiggins Discussion thread.

    I'm from the Uk and I don't like him, so please don't think we all appreciate his bolshy retorts to very valid doping questions. He's a professional, right? Well for me that should extend to every aspect of the job, including talking to the press. It's an event that wouldn't exist were it not...

    Barry Ryan's writing style: a compliment

    Agreed. I couldn't agree more. By the end of a single sentence I know whether the man who has written it is Barry Ryan or not. Currently reporting on the Tour de France, Barry manages to infuse his reporting with all of the drama of the year's biggest bike race. More of the same please Barry.

    map my ride much worse then advertised

    Forget Bikely for creating routes, GPSies is where it's at.. If you're creating your own routes, then I'd suggest having a look at GPSies.com. Way better than Bikely, particuarly as it has an undo function which means if you mess up on a click or two you can just as quickly go back. Unlike...

    Did you join forum because new site is bad?

    CN Lite sucks. And then some. I'll only be repeating what's is being said by just about everybody, but as a long-time CN fan I feel I should post a comment on how bloody awful the new site is. Not sure who's responsible. Dan Benson certainly seems keen to defend it. Even before the site change...
