rollapaluzrev23psycheoutSports celebs go head to head on rollers…
Olympic sprinter Iwan Thomas took on rugby league legend Denis Betts on the Rollapaluza rollers at Revolution 23 this weekend. Betts might have been saving his legs for the Italian pursuit later that evening because Thomas, now hosting Channel 4's new sports show 4sport, put a second into him over 500m.
That was before the doors for Revolution 23 opened and just as well or they would never have got on what with the hordes of kids eager to test themselves on the Rollapaluz rig.
Thomas's performance was enough to bag him second place in the mens' competition behind 14 year old Matt Rotherham – who also won the competition last time the rollers visited Revolution.
12 year-old Dylan Kerfoot-Robson won the boys competition in a time of 12.37 secs and a speed of 45.5mph while 13 year-old Emily Barnes was top girl with a winning time of 13.47 secs and a speed of 41.8mph.

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
Yup - although as a more "distributed" / low cost kind of "good" (which the public purse pays towards) cycling will likely always be susceptible to...

I'm sure they'd ask Lime to do that too. Come and collect your bikes and my neighbour - they're in pieces.
Ireland seems to have a lot of problems with their cycle lanes… Almost as many as England
Fair point - I was restricting myself to pedal bikes. As I've never spent that kind of money on anything though (mortgage doesn't count), it's kind...

I think you're missing an opportunity to pack even more tech into it - add accelerometers that can detect whether they're pedalling or stepping....
