Recumbent bikes mentioned on Prime-Time Television Shock!

Anyone see Room 101 on BBC1 tonight? Ross Noble mentioned recumbent bikes, in an admittedly not very complimentary way, but, hey, the main thing is that people might be starting to know what they are!

Perhaps we should tell him there's a recumbent called a Ross?

I've always thought the only thing needed to make recumbents more popular is for most people to actually know they exist. Would have thought this can only help in that direction, but who knows. Anyway, it's not easy to be funny being positive about something :-)

Mr Noble is also often on Facebook, promoting Triumph motorbikes.

It was very funny!!! And IMHO spot on as a total piece!!

That was a nocom on screen, they could have put a more road less fast one up....

This weekend I'm going to invite them both to have a go!!!
