With the weather being so nice and it being a bank holiday weekend and cross-country footpaths being out of bounds, there are cyclists all over the roads. Great mobs of them, all garish lycra and pointy helmets, pedalling grimly along.

Driving to work today I came across one sprawled on the road next to his bike. I stopped.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

He moaned and rolled up on to his feet.

"Yeah, I'm just tired."

Yes, that really does look like fun.
