My first cycle tour was with a dear old friend & fellow student, whose proudest moment was being within 6ft of Mao as he descended to the stage of some vast stadium to address the audience.

Our current buffoon of a PM is a keen cyclist.
Does that put a stick in your spokes.

Read most of the link, got a bit bored with the repetition of "state media"......

It would appear, that what ever President LongUnpronouncableName does, becomes Government Policy, and, enthusiastically endorsed by the population..... thus, we all need to abandon our wives/partners/children and move in with a younger model, then, begin producing more offspring. We also need to stop combing our hair, and ironing our shirts.
