Good story. Think I read recently that Chris Froome gives bikes to some of the kids back in Kenya . I think all kids should have one as a rite of passage just for being a kid.

Yep! I used to work in a carparts/Bike shop (not Halfords) next to a jobcentre and the claiments said they couldnt afford to get to interviews etc so they used to come in get a quote for a BSO (£120 - £150) and the Job centre would send a cheque to head office to pay for it..... P****d me off no end... didnt happen often about once a month
