Just found this interesting link to Cycling Films Big List while investigating music and cyling. There's more than a few in there I wouldn't mind seeing. Amazon here I come!
Cycling Weekly recently listed the proposed prologue route for London's Tour de France bid. Starting at Admiralty Arch going to Trafalger Square, Whitehall, Parliament Square, Victoria Street, Buckingham Palace, Constitution Hill, Wellington Arch , Hyde Park, Serpentine, Wellington Arch, Constitution Hill and past Buckingham Palace finishing on the Mall. Looks good.
A day of strange coincidences has led me to start up a "side bar project" on the blog. [ sounds like David Brent, but bear with me ]
Firstly I was told of a upcoming gig at the Guildford Civic [ Red Dog Night ]. Rumoured to be playing is the band Abdoujaparov [ web site ] . They were started by ex-Carter USM guitarist Les Carter [ aka Fruitbat ] and are named after the famous sprinter from Uzbekistan.
Then, this afternoon a group of like minded people were bought together by chance at a small gathering at work. The subject soon shifted to the shared interests of music and cycling after a brief mention of the upcoming Adoujaparov gig and Kraftwerk we moved onto more obscure cycling references in bands and music. And so begins the quest to compile a list of references [ see music to ride bikes to ] to cycling and pop music. [ recommendations would be more than welcome ]
Thanks to jb for his recent posting about his ride round the potential 2006 prologue course...excellent stuff. I admit it though, I had to lookup what a "curate's egg" was.
