Beverley Turner Article - Tour de France: The alarming cost of being a cycling widow

[Spinney]

Helmets I reckon. She wrote an article last year about how cyclists should wear them, conveniently glossing over the fact that her husband is a 'brand ambassador' for Alpina.

Ah, thanks!

I thought at first it was something the swear-filter had edited....!

h****** ????

Sorry Spinney, but I didn't want to divert this thread into another HELMET thread.

One famous Yorkshire cycling widow.

Let's not knock them for their quaint religious beliefs.

Besides if he really is the mood swinging foul tempered grump they paint him out to be in their book then you'd think she would be glad to get him out of the house.

I've a nice alpina airtime I wear when long boarding btw. Nice helmet. It has yet to save my life though.

What a pathetic article. It implies that women can only be happy when their men are around. And many, many women own numerous pair of shoes and numerous 'fashionable' expensive handbags - I bet she has a few! How many handbags can she use at a time?

Get your own hobbies/life, woman, and stop making women as a whole seem pathetic, man-dependent ninnies!

Fookin A.

My opinion through and through.

Also, for someone that doesn't like/agree with aspects of cycling, she spends a lot of time earning money off the back of cycling articles.

Perhaps Mrs Cracknell (cos that's who she is) ought to stop being such a fookin hypocrite and find a true passion of her own instead of running down others with her snide, snipey, shitty comments.

She married that self-obsessed cóck Cracknell, so she should have expected little...

I know. From personal experience, unfortunately.

It's not quite there yet is it.

Good to see that womens racing on T.V is on the up & that there are higher profile races for the girls too.

I watched the National Champs & ALL of those ladies would leave me for dead, coughing & wheezing my way to early cycling retirement.

The ladies are out there in numbers on the roads up North too & probably on the trails too.

I wish Miss Centurion would take up cycling, I bought her a Carrera MTB which has done 3km total in 2 years.

I stopped reading after the second line when I came to the bit about her relationship with Cracknell and remembered the nonsense she had written about h****** without mentioning her partners commercial involvement in the industry.

I’ve cursed the damn sport every time I’ve whacked my head on them while digging out a child’s scooter.

Ironically a helmet would be of benefit to her in this situation!

I used to have quite a thing for Beverley Turner when I was at uni and she hosted a basketball show. Now all i want to wrap around her is the frame of my bike.

Waste of a good bicycle frame...
