I recall seeing on tele a super sprinter, probably Cipo, winning a bunch sprint by yards. As he crossed the line both hands aloft he turned round to look at his beaten rivals. I tried it out ( couldn't replicate the 40mph plus speed) but each time I lost control. This on a bike I had always considered a great handler. Was it me or the bike? Probably doesn't matter as It's not an ability I shall ever need. Now I am more concerned that my bike rides in a straight line at very slow speeds. Ray Green, Harrow, Middlesex
