Intelligence Squared logo.jpgDebating forum Intelligence Squared hosts Cycling Festival next month
Intelligence Squared – or, as they put it, Intelligence² - which bills itself as “the world’s premier debating forum” and whose past speakers include Richard Dawkins, Damien Hirst and Stephen Fry, will be holding a Cycling Festival on the evening of Thursday 8 September.
Chaired by hotelier and cycling enthusiast Rocco Forte, the evening brings together Bella Bathurst, author of The Bicycle Book, novelist, Geoff Dyer, London School of Cycling founder Patrick Field, writer Will Self and, someone who needs no introduction to fans of cycling, Graeme Obree.
Tickets for the event, at the Royal Geographical Society on Kensington Road, cost £15 or £10 for students. Full details of the event, which starts at 6.45pm and finishes at 8.30pm, can be found on the Intelligence Squared website, which will also be streaming the event for free on the evening itself.

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.

Boardman is brilliant at getting the point over. It's all about presentation and showing the benefits to all.
Or, alternatively, get the Aldi front and rear for £15. The rear doesn't flash like the previous models, but does have the braking function. The...
There is no way on that terrain the wheels would clog up.
No. But do you think Trump is? 🤡💩🤣
Was a stocking-filler type thing but always handy - reflective spoke straws. (They're not reflecting as I turned the flash off.)
Dont forget Linford Christie
I'm confused. What base layer isn't damp after a warm effort - it's the purpose of their entire existence. Wringing wet I might agree with. ...
To add to the comedic potential, I really hope said chef was dressed in whites, including a toque blanche, and armed with a whisk and cleaver.
Don't open at Edinburgh Fringe with that one.
