To be honest, he's got a ways to go to reach Sampras and Federer
heights. First stop, Djockstrapovich. One step at a time ;-)

Yeah - we're really laying into the cycle thing. I think the Olympics
really helped. Just on a day-to-day basis and in general, I see many
more cyclists out and about than I used to a couple of years ago. I'd
say up by at least 100% compared to then. That's a lot, which is great.
The downside is that there are a commensurate number of injuries and
fatalities on the roads with cyclists coming off worse, obviously. We
need more education about how to approach and safely overtake cyclists -
I see classic mistakes like not losing any speed during the overtake on
corners, and so when the motorist goes for the overtake and suddenly a
vehicle appears the other way, they've nowhere else to go except back
towards the cyclist.

My lad Stefan does some road races on his Giant and he's had some
heightened training with me WRT defensive cycling - as most car drivers
are ignorant and some downright dangerous, but sadly to survive as a
cyclist you MUST take the defensive attitude. When cyclists migrate up
to armoured troop carriers then they can simply sit back and count the
flat cars in the mirrors ;-)

For those that haven't seen it, I made this short film for him last year...



3 mins with dreamy cycling content.

Cotty, also note the significant Firsts going on across the channel from you . 
. . A GBR rider (born Nairobi, to the UK via RSA) is wearing the yellow jersey 
and is overall favorite to win the Tour. His predecessor in Yellow is from the 
RSA, riding with an Australian team. Very impressive showing among these riders!

I was working but got home to see it. Yup, Wimbledon is a massive two
weeks here, it's on the telly all the time. Son plays so pretty much a
tennis family here - huge achievement by Murray.

Late and not so late greetings

[Boris Liberman]

Hello :-).

Happy birthday, United States of America... Hope our American friends
had wonderful long jubilant weekend.

Yesterday though, a bit of history was in the making. I hope that our
British friends do celebrate what Andy Murray has achieved on the
courts of Wimbledon. If I were British, I know, I would certainly be
celebrating...

Wishing us all only good news similar to those from yesterday.
