We’ve lost count of the number of stories we’ve seen in the mainstream press* headlined “cycling is the new golf” – but it turns out that for road world champion Peter Sagan, golf is the new cycling.

The backdrop is Lake Tahoe, where Sagan and his team mates are preparing for the Tour of California, which starts on Sunday.

A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Bravo! I'd love to know what modifications were made to it. I would hope going up huge hills means he had lower gear than standard.

+1 for my Proviz jacket. It's a proper one although I think I got it half price for £50....
Much better than what I was trying to concoct.
