  1. Just come back from a week in The Netherlands. In a suburb in the outskirts of Nijmegan is a
    "Tom Simpson Pad" (Tom Simpson Path) Can we match that with a road, avenue, path or way in his
    own country?

    Putting 'Tom Simpson' into the search box of Streetmap returns zero hits.

    Hmm - I for one would definitely like to see such a street; but fear that even if it were proposed
    the anti-drugs lobby would kick up a stink 🙁

    How about Boardman Avenue, Millar Street or Yates Drive and (in Eire) Roche Road and Kelly Street?
    But if you want roads named after World Cup winning cyclists, how about Peat Street and perhaps
    after this year's DH World Cup, Moseley Mews or Griffith Grove?
