Lord Sugar gets on his bike

[carolonabike]

I think he looks in pretty good shape but the bit that made me laugh was that the paper mentions he wore racing glasses, gloves and "special shoes".

It goes without saying that he has a nice bike.

Well done him... but 0 out of 10 for the garish colour scheme on his bike- prefer things a touch more elegant!

 

[Monsieur Remings]

I was hoping this was a metaphor.

Well, it is the DM and about cycling, what do expect

Just finished reading his bio, where he mentioned he bought his Pinerello for $10K from the States. Pretty good read, recommended. It made me all nostalgic about my first casette tape deck: an Amstrad 7000D - came with damped top loader, Dolby noise reduction and twin VU meters, all housed in a brushed aluminimum and wooden case - pure class!

24 comments in and not one mention of the words "lout" or "tax". DM standards are slipping.

Certainly does look in good shape for 64!

IIRC, he credits his cycling with his weight loss & increase in fitness.

Also IIRC, he owns a few Pinarellos, including that Spanish champion one.

Also also, it's a Daily Mail link, so if you dislike giving that bunch page hits, bear it in mind.

must admit he is in good shape, much better then myself.
LOVED the comment on "special shoes" though. the daily fail does it again!

Rather strange piece of journalism there.

Lord Sugar has never been coy about his cycling - big article about it in Cycling Active a few months ago.

So why the need to Pap him in the South of France? And then talk about it like its some guilty secret? I'm sure he would have preferred to talk about it at his leasure.

 

[Red Light]

Yep, he's a pretty good cyclist and has a few bikes dotted around.

It's the Mail.

It's silly season. My favourite was Cameron cycling to the Commons ... while his car followed behind with all his bags

Envy isn't a very attractive characteristic ;-)

Neither is tax avoidance.
