I prefer the penny-farthing.

The Giro's descending into mayhem. What is going on there? It's like Slappers Only.  They've got nothing on Barredo with his bike wheel, injuries and menace.

Tyler Hamilton has made some statements. I expect David Millar to call on him to "man up" at any moment.  David Millar loves nothing more than manning up.

Aaaand some Friday fun: Much like the modern day bike rider, this giraffe-rabbit (?) can do many things whilst riding. Here of course it's not eating or putting on a rain jacket so much as smoking a pipe and prepping for a big paint job.

Japes!
