I thought there was a photo of Healey on a bike floating around somewhere. There ought to be one of Norman Tebbitt, given his "Get on your bike" speech.

Slightly OT, but when the title of this thread comes up in the script of Appocalypse Now, it sounds to me like "The whore... The whore..."

Blimey - you're a dead ringer for David Cameron.

no he doesn't. He looks like a sack of spuds. There's as much of his foot hanging over the front of the pedal than there is projecting over the back. He hunches over the handlebars and sways from side to side groaning like a sow on heat. And his elbows point out. If you doubt me schlepp up to Colebrooke Row and watch him go up the teeny little incline to the tube station in the morning. Prior to watching the hapless lump in action it didn't occur to me that I could despise him any more than I did already - but, happily, I was proved wrong.He looks good on a bike it's true, damn it.
I'm failing to see the problem.... he's an archetypal slow bicycle type. London's full of 'em. He's on a bike not in a car therefore he looks great on a bike.no he doesn't.
