This was nice to read:
WEIGHING in at 20st, Lindsey Cooper had problems getting on a bike, never mind riding one.
However, the 45-year-old set out on a mission to shed the pounds, and now, 13 months on and 8st 7lb lighter, Lindsey is taking part in a gruelling 250-mile charity bike ride across Cuba, above.

This not so much:
A MAJOR city centre route has reopened and a motorist arrested after an accident left a cyclist fighting for his life.
…
The collision was between a bike and an Orange Fiat Punto and it happened opposite the Millbrook Star filling station shortly after 7.20am.

And, er, the accompanying image? Traffic chaos in Southampton.
One more: a giant toaster
IT has been described as a giant toaster but Rhinopatch – the infrared road repair machine – is Southampton’s latest weapon in the fight against potholes.

this isn’t what they mean when they say cycling isn’t safe.
A TEN-year-old boy has been robbed at knifepoint as he cycled home from buying sweets.
A hooded youth, believed to be in his early teens, threatened Craig Moylan with a penknife at the end of a subway. Craig was only five minutes from his house.
The youngster was forced to hand over his bike which was a birthday present from his dad.
