Great, wasn't it?
Fortunately, she's not a jack, so there's no need to check if she'd nicked the bike

If she was from Camborne, the Bike would've won gold in a shed.

Gold for Geraint Thomas & co.
Another Gold for a Cymro on a bike. Team pursuit performance was outstanding 
A few more on the way too, in the velodrome. Not so sure about track & field

Was it some sour faced aussie who claimed all GB winners were lazy as most of them have been won sitting down!! on a bike , on a dinghy or in a little row boat and now were 3rd in the medal table Brilliant - shows those overpaid football tossers what professionalism really means.
