Keep your fun, fun ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9913#post-107478 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:47:10 +0000 gembo 107478@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"A few faint lines"</p> <p>Do the herald no longer employ sub editors?</p> <p>Obviously this is not the thing I should be focussing on in the article?</p> <p>25p a mile.

"I just want to get on and do things with the least amount of fuss and stress. I get paid to ride my bike and, like anyone, I have to get up and go to the office. If you do a desk job, you have to get on the bus and walk in the rain – even on the days you don't want to do it. The same goes for me."</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/sport/other-sports/mccallum-focused-on-ending-his-career-in-style-in-glasgow.20753587" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/sport/other-sports/mccallum-focused-on-ending-his-career-in-style-in-glasgow.20753587</a> </p> <p>Hope he doesn't 'give up cycling'.</p> <p>"<br /> already begun to look to life beyond cycling.
