The Tour de France start on 2nd July and it has the potential to be one of the best for GB riders. Brad Wiggins looks in great form and will challenge for a podium place, Cav will have plenty of chances to sprint his way into the record books and wants the green jersey and David Miller looks good for TT honours, can't wait for this one.

FANCY A WOODEN BIKE?. Not a few bits of 4x2 and a bag of 6 inch nails a fine example of craftmanship.

Apple logoAs dyed in the wool Apple Mac devotees I was interested to come accross this an iPOD or iPHONE controlled bike which was recently patented by Apple. An iPOD mounted on the bars uses sensors and no doubt a dedicated App to give all the usual GPS related data, record heartrate cadence speed etc. G3 conectivity would allow for real time road reports, data transfers to fellow cyclists and also opens up possibilities for the likes of voice commands to change gear.

A must have phone Mac lovers. Read it here.
