Thats what I would like to see but that would cost money and that will kill the number of cyclists on the roads and the planet will go into meltdown.




How exactly do you propose these requirements be applied to the vast number of children riding bikes in the UK? Or do you propose that cycling be banned for everyone under the age of 18?

"Olympic mountain biking too? I didn't even know, will have to tune in for that!!"

Looks like the hardest event anyone can do. Been some critiscism of the purpose built track which does look very artificial. They have changed it in response to the concerns. But why not use one of the dedicated Mountain Bike Centres? I don't think we are fancied in the MB race but who knows.
