Anybody considering a jaunt to the cinema may like to check out Premium Rush. It’s basically an extended high-adrenalin bicycle chase across Manhattan, and while the plot would struggle to fill a side of A5, it’s gripping watching a crazed courier on a brakeless fixie ploughing through the traffic while trying to evade his car-driving pursuer – the stunts are amazing. Leave your brain at the door, hang on, and enjoy the ride.
After that, found myself pedalling a bit more furiously on the way to work today – despite being on the hardtail I got drafted by a lycra-clad roadie ;~)
