How to start cycling to work – Metro
One happy cycle commuter (Picture: Ella Byworth for Metro.co.uk) It’s Cycle to Work day today. Did you know that? Did you cycle? Did you? Did you? Your antidepressants might be messing with your skin I did. (Regretted it every pedal stroke because hello, there’s a right wind whip out there, bit dangerous, hey.) I really like cycling.

Journalist Jemele Hill attends ESPN The Party on February 5, 2016 in San Francisco, California. ESPN had a great idea when it started The Undefeated, a strong daily foray into sports, race, culture and politics. Alas, that nexus is now rancorously exemplified by ESPN’s own Jemele Hill, an engaging show host who leaves no doubt what she thinks of President Trump. In a twitter storm, she wrote, “Donald Trump is a white…

LA is about to discover that democracy and the Olympics don’t mix – The Guardian (blog)
On Wednesday, the International Olympic Committee will rubberstamp the plan to hand Paris the 2024 Summer Games while Los Angeles will host in 2028. Given the lack of bids from democratic countries and the increasingly frequent torpedoing of bids by activists and referenda, Olympic boosters are surely thrilled to lock down Paris and LA, two cities in democracies with storied Olympic histories.

Alberto Contador Was One Of Cycling’s Last Cowboys – Deadspin
Photo: Francisco Seco/AP Could there have possibly been a better ending for Alberto Contador? Sure.

But expecting that feat or even wanting it from Contador would have been too much. He came into the queen stage of the…
