  1. Style "guru" Dylan Jones in today's Mail on Sunday, just a few months after
    the usual "lycra louts" diatribe. I always knew it was envy that fuelled his
    vitriol. :-)
    BTW this is with a digital camera, not my usual scanner, so the image is a
    bit dodgy.
    18 miles of cycling is 2 weeks of exercise for him? - no wonder!

    Thanks for posting that. It's quite a good article, but not enough to
    make me want to buy the Mail.

    The last time I was cycling in France, we saw very few cyclists under
    about 50. I'd hate to think that cycling is dying out as a pastime, but
    maybe the old guys are the last that are left.

    Columnists are paid
    to have strong views, interestingly expressed.

    As such, careful consideration of
    both sides of an argument is not a priority.

    It's also common to express unambiguous
    views that they don't actually believe.

    Given this, it's unsurprising (and common) for a columnist
    to present a subsequent argument inconsistent with
    an earlier one.
