Are ASDA official Olympic sponsors?

With apologies for the link to another forum...

Where did they get the rowing coaches' bikes assembled?

Actually, seriously, I hope no one gets hurt as a result of that dangerous cock up.

Or wet.  It's interesting that they seem to be riding them ok, though, while not looking where they're going as well.  (I saw a bit on the telly this morning).

I saw a demonstration on telly once, of how reversing the forks makes a bike more likely to travel in a straight line. (They reversed the forks, gave it a shove, and it rolled for ages before its speed dropped to stalling speed). Since the coaches are mainly riding a straight line, maybe it helps!

I saw one chap riding the opposite way to all the others this morning, I don't think his team are going to medal much... Or maybe he was trying to counteract the forks....

On Saturday, I'm sure I saw a couple of Boris Bikes in the coaching peleton.
