Arellcat did ask him whether he had ever considered using a r*c*m*e*t.<br /> He said 'yes' but thought it would take too long to acclimatise. That's true to a degree but when you live on a bike for months comfort is big factor. </p> <p>Hang on... I think I hear a pro-Brooks / gel saddle with padded shorts argument heading this direction.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=499#post-3657 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:42:13 +0000 Kim 3657@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe he felt it was time for a new bike, at least this one hasn't been stolen... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=499#post-3648 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:37:21 +0000 chdot 3648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>IN FACT</p> <p>"will now be displayed at BBC Scotland's Glasgow HQ."</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/world/Mark-Beaumont39s-bike-goodbye.6147236.jp" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/world/Mark-Beaumont39s-bike-goodbye.6147236.jp</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=499#post-3646 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:34:34 +0000 Min 3646@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm, yes I thought the same thing. Why is he having to wave goodbye to it?

What did he do with it? And why is this news?
