Very pleased for Bradley Wiggins and Ben Ainslie, had hoped that David Weir might have been Knighted too.

nobody was honoured for riding a bike. They were honoured for riding it faster and better than anyone else in the world. But people do love their twice-yearly whinges about other people getting something they haven't got.

Well Done our Cherie!!
She is patron, chair, or president for a number of charitable organisations including Scope and was president of Bernados. She founded the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, which runs all over the developing world. She advises the US government on how its foreign policy impacts on Women in the developing world, and is a human rights Lawyer to boot. Tony is a very lucky man.

In my view the Queen should have awarded him the Knighthood as soon as the Tour finished the feat of winning this race is similar in cycling terms to what Ellen MacArthur did in sailing terms.
I'm going to be contentious; I'm all for the honours system despite its back scratching type awards, many people who would get any recognition for there efforts in life do so because it's its there.
I think these awards reflect more about what the Olympics and the TDF to an extent has given the UK in terms of morale, There seemed to be something different about the way the country felt in September from when I left in June.
McMouse; Wiggins is hopefully** the new clean face of Pro Cycling but in 1999 so was Armstrong, I've more faith in Wiggins. I've been watching cycling for over 35 years and when Armstrong accelerated all the way to Sestriere in 1999 anyone who knew anything about the sport either laughed or cried. TDF this year played to Wiggo's strengths he won't win again.

The Guinness Book of World Records is hardly a bench mark is it?
I consider being the fastest over a 3 week event with 5/6 hours a day in the saddle to be some achievement, even more so being the first Brit.
Letting your fingernails grow for 12 years is hardly a feat of physical stamina or prowess, is it?
