    IAN MAXWELL and KIM HARDING

    Ian, spokesman for Spokes, the Lothian cycle campaign group, and Kim, who represents Pedal on Parliament, are likely to be kept busy as the battle between two-wheels and four evolves into one that also involves the new trams.

    With suggestions for a new cycle path cutting across The Mound, tram tracks and warnings from police that they will act against law-breaking cyclists, 2014 looks set to be another bumpy ride.

    KATIE ARCHIBALD

    Track cycling starlet Katie Archibald is still a relative novice, barely two years after first donning the kit of Edinburgh Racers kids’ club to compete at the ageing Meadowbank Velodrome.

    However, her aggressive racing style and natural ability saw her earn selection in 2013 for Great Britain. Team pursuit world records and gold medals followed at the European Championships and the World Cup. Now installed at the British Cycling Academy in Manchester, the 19-year-old remains a raw talent with bright prospects.

    Would they be 'into track' without Meadowbank?

    Katie Archibald is a fantastic rider. Another to look out from the same cycle club (which has only been going a year!) is Isla Short. 17 and already the Scottish cyclocross champ (though not the series winner as she was too young for that!).

    On the original post, blinking EEN reporting.... "Battle between...." Argh! War on the roads blah blah blah....

    I'm looking forward to Mark Renshaw making impacts again. Should be a good battle between Cav and Kittel this year.

    It would be a shame if such a fine rag were to go under during the course of 2014 though. Just think, we'd have to do a charity appeal to find the trolls a new home.
