And, lo, it was good.
If Shaun and Ed were recumbent cyclists and wrote ride reports, verily, those reports might resemble this.
But, really, the Brits have a natural advantage when it comes to these things, as their names for places roll off the tongue (or into the eyes) much more funnily than our simple, no-nonsense appellations. (Not counting if you regularly ride through Old Dime Box or Earth.)
Tip o'the 1986 Kiwi helmet to Foo for finding this gem. As Foo wisely points out, however, only devotees of cycling and/or Monty Python will likely be amused. But, surely, that accounts for most of us, doesn't it?
Well, my comments weren't directed toward those who have obviously superior intellectual capabilities and the ability to appreciate the finer things in life...the non-hoi-polloi, in other words. ;-)

Well, I was greatly amused. And lo, it was excellent.
And hey, I don't even like cycling. (There's nothing wrong with it, per se, just all that pedaling and sweating and such combined with the fact that I just don't balance well. I blame it on too many ear infections as a child. Not a rampant lack of coordination.
