WELL DONE BRADLEY WIGGINS!

This is not a boast about a Brit. winning the Tour de France, but this, an achievment for any cyclist, particularly someone residing on these shores. For some little time, the United Kingdom has been upping its game in the the field of the two wheeled sport. As an observer, I recall the advent of a very special machine, I'm sure, constructed from carbon fibre, in the capable hands of Chris Boardman. Since that time, in the early nineties, we appear to have made considerable strides in all aspects of the sport. The 2012 Olympics are about to commence, and the UK will be defending a number of Gold Medals in cycling events. Who knows, we could retain some.

On the downside, some of our citizens consider that we should now give these two wheeled travellers much more space on our roadways. Unfortunately, that won't deliver the butter for the bread. It may be a weakness with many nations, instant euphoria. We even get an increase in potential tennis players during the Wimbledon fortnight.

Nevertheless, Bradley Wiggins has done us proud, along with his team mates; it has to be a team effort. Not forgetting the moment when Wiggins slowed the field down, following 'the tacks on the road incident'. He did this, so as not to steal an advantage over those unfortunate competitors who suffered punctures.

AGAIN, WELL DONE BRADLEY WIGGINS!
