Just watching an episode from the early 70s, where they challenge one another to a cycle race. The neat thing is that the racing bikes they're riding have the water bottles mounted on the handlebars, just in front, and they have nice big straws sticking out of them.

Sounds like heaven, i'm going to kill myself one of these days trying to reach down between my legs for one. [Yes I meant bottle.]

They also had those big chunky pumps, saddlebags the size of picnic hampers, and little tiny weeny mudguards.

Classic episode.

We used to call them "Milk cages", coz there was an advert for the milk race with people drinking milk out of bottles in those bar cages.

I always thought they made sense. Then I knew they did when I saw a CF one on a triathlon bike for about £90.

That's nowt. What about the time Ron Dicko challenged Dave "Bing" Crosby to a 100 including the ride through Delamere Forest on Brookie?
