As More And More People Are Taking Up Bicycling,

and as snow is forecast I thought a look at snow cycling would be interesting,


and it was, there is a German word for enjoying pleasure at someone else's misfortune, Schadenfreude, and I have to admit I suffered from it, as I watched this extract of the annual Mountain of Hell downhill race, held at Les Deux Alpes ski resort in France, 700 bicycle racers against a 15-mile course of snow, ice, rocks, and single track, the riders descend 8,530 feet in the process, what could possibly go wrong? to watch the full video have a look here, there must be something wrong with me, as I found the short clip above so funny, even more so knowing that no one was injured, except their pride!
