    Total Hip Replacement recovery

    I have had both hips birmingham resurfaced and I am 46, both wore out from a lot of big running miles. I got into track cycling because I couldnt run anymore and have been doing weights and about 300km a week and consistent racing and have had no problems. Just take your time coming back and...

    CN Tour coverage assessment one - fail (badly)

    Gee thanks for that, at least after the thirty seconds or so that it took for the page to load. Since you asked, I based it on the fact that I used to just click on the page several times a day and find something new, topical and interesting, but now it might be there but I havent got the time...

    CN Tour coverage assessment one - fail (badly)

    Well I always used to look forward to an extensive gallery of the tour presentation, it set the tone for the rest of the race when your anticipation is at a high level. Incredibly interesting and informative along with interviews and colour commentary. ....... our new cycling news attitude -...

    Thought this was a news site :P

    The site was apparently closed last weekend. The headline about Contador was at the top of the page for over 48 hours, but with no photos or real information. The headlines were also not updated regularly as they used to be. Guess the guys took the weekend off. Wish I was so lucky. Do they not...

    No photos? Cost Cutting or stupidity or both?

    Ah well might as well keep venting, I just went to have a look at the single photo of Contador winning the spanish national TT yep the one photo and it is recycled from the Dauphine with the caption "Contador finished fifth in the TT which moved him into second overall", i.e. this was a photo...

    No photos? Cost Cutting or stupidity or both?

    Often times in the past I havent read the journalistic dribble or the advertorials (that are now on the front page headline banner for gods sake), but particularly when time trials and other important stages are on the adage "a picture speaks a thousand words" rings very true. I am an...

    Armstrong to bail out Astana?

    Astana to fold, Armstrong et al to race the tour in another team, Contador to ride for Slipstream..... Vaughters to take Alberto even though he is against everything he stood for in the past. Lance will get his way he is the biggest name in cycling and even the haters know he makes them money by...

    New site design

    Gee buddy hate to tell you this but a lot of your readership also has the same woes and works long hours. Stuey O'Grady used to wear a black wristband that had the letters 'HTFU' on it. No one cares about that. It just seems that you arent listening are you? ....... so people will vote with...

    New site design

    Thats an interesting comment Stefan. OK I will refrain from the blunt and honest comments as they are clearly upsetting you, and obviously not garnering the hoped for response, which is that you as the responsible person for this stuff, as is evidenced by the 36 pages and growing...

    New site design

    Gee maybe thats the problem over there in the mother country, everyone was too polite and didnt want to give the people responsible for this rubbish the unvarnished truth because it might hurt someones feelings..... glad I live in Australia, we may be uncouth heathens but at least we are not...

    New site design

    Just as an experiment I tried to get the pages up on my phone, I dont mind checking in while I am in the office or whatever and guess what, it doesnt load because of all the rubbish, so your business just cost itself a zillion web hits a day from people who regularly do that and just have normal...

    New site design

    Are you thick as two planks? Maybe you have your head so far up your own **** you dont realise that it means information technology which is an old fashioned term for all that computer stuff. I dont really understand any of it I just want to get my cycling info.

    New site design

    Written (i.e. not spoken) like a true cybergeek that doesnt live in the real world. Mate, the majority of your readership does not live their lives in front of or working on computers, some even speak to (and get shouted at) by real humans and just want a simple, usable site. A lot of us...
