Good for You man!!!! I think that the next generation of cyclists can only get better and better! I have 2 children one 6 and the other one 8, and they are enjoying participating in criteriums. I have to say that Lance Armstrong is the athlete they love and now they want to beat him. We'll see if that happens.......

Thank you for answering

I just don't get why teachers are underpaid My brother in law graduated from Yale and got a job with the University of California (UCSD) but he got fed up with the bureaucracy and the politics behind it. He now teaches at the Community Colleges, much more fun he says

Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, I have been off work ill since last November and am happily now recuperating by the sea on the South Coast of England - so I missed the first hand experience but certainly knew more about what was going on through BBC News 24 than friends of mine who were travelling in around that time.
I'm not at all surprised about the terrorist attack.
Whilst of course the suffering of the dead and injured and their families is a dreadful, dreadful thing for them to go through and my thoughts and condolences go out to them there is a general underground feeling of "Is that the 'best' they (the terrorists) could do?".
For the amount of planning they had done you would have thought that they would have knocked out Victoria/Paddington/London Bridge stations as well and, worse still, used poison gas instead of just normal explosives - that's certainly what our emergency services had been planning to deal with.
I had a frantic few hours trying to locate my ex and my London flatmate who both travel through that area at that time of day.
My ex was asking me what was happening as she was being evacuated out of the tube and was off to catch a bus . . . I then had to try and get hold of her again and tell her to get off of any bus that she had been able to catch !
They were both safe and well.
Having been exposed to the IRA bombings of Harrods, the Baltic Exchange and Canary Wharf etc I hate to say it (and I can't speak for anyone else) but I get a little blase about these things - not morbidly so, just fatalistically, if it's going to happen and your number's up, then it's going to happen.
The story is now off of the front page, people are back to work as normal, the delays in the affected areas of tube track are not dissimilar to any normal day on our delapidated system.
So life, for those not involved, is getting back to normal.
