Victoria Pendleton signs with Hovis
Views: 41,864Boy on a bike Hovis ad: www.youtube.com 'Strength of Woman': Hovis maintains links with cycling The British bread brand founded in 1886 has signed Olympic cycling champion Victoria Pendleton as a brand ambassador. Pendleton spent six hours recreating the iconic 1973 'Boy on a bike' TV advert. The Premier Foods-owned brand will deploy Pendleton in a series of campaigns, including encouraging cycling; healthy-eating and education initiatives. Hovis marketing director Jon Goldstone told Marketing Week: Hovis is renowned for Britains favourite ad, the iconic Boy on a Bike and we are delighted to announce Vicky as our new Girl on a Bike' and are very excited about our plans for the next three years. Pendleton said: I hope my work for Hovis will inspire a new generation of girls and boys on bikes who enjoy cycling as much as I did when I was younger and maybe even inspire some champions of the future. Wheatgerm flour was developed in 1886. A national competition to name the bread made from this nutritious flout was held in 1890. Herbert Grime won with his suggestion of 'Hovis' as a contraction of 'Hominis Vis', Latin for 'strength of man'. Hovis was an early supporter of cycling. In 1899 Hovis launched a series of eight cycle road maps covering England and Wales. Each map listed hostelries that served Hovis bread. These guest houses displayed a sign with a cycle wheel and the letter H for Hovis, clearly modelled on the winged wheel sign of the Cyclists' Touring Club. The maps ...

The Holy Grail of bikecams X170 review
Views: 35,116A rugged all-in-one bike-cam with a small screen. Could this be it, could this be the perfect extreme sports video camera? The X170 from Drift Innovations is so called because of its 170 degree wide angle lens. The screen lets you line up your shot - a brilliant feature for a bike-cam - and you can watch your video masterpiece there and then without hooking up to a computer. The camera is an inch longer than a Garmin GPS and can be fitted to helmets and handlebars with the included straps and mounts. Or, screw off the shoe and you'll find a standard tripod thread. Noticed the black dot yet? It's caused by the curvature of the ultra wide angle lens. There's nothing you can do about it but will only appear when you're shooting into the sun. The company told me in an email: "This was a compromise we had to make to get the 170 degree wide angle lens." The X170 can shoot 5 megapixel stills or hi-res video at 720 by 480 pixel quality, 30 frames per second. There's some onboard memory but fit a 16 GB SD card for grabbing your footage. The dead easy screen menu lets you toggle tons of stuff, like recording to AVI or MP4, or auto switching off the screen after you've lined up your shot. The X170's screen is a boon, of course, but it's a battery hog. Power is supplied by two AA batteries. The lens rotates so you can fit the camera to any plane and still line up the shot correctly. The X170 can be started and stopped with the included wireless remote control, dead useful for when ...

STRICT LIABILITY Drive carefully
Views: 21,209iPayRoadTax.com Who is at fault in bike v car smashes? In the Netherlands, it's always the motorist at fault, under the 'strict liability' law. Hans Voerknecht, International coordinator, Fiets Beraad ('Bicycle Council'), explains how this works in practice. For instance, it doesn't mean 'terrorist cyclists' smashing into static cars for compensation payments motorists are not liable in these cases. But, when moving, motorists have a duty of care not to hit vulnerable road users. The UK is only one of four Western European countries that doesnt have 'strict liability' to protect cyclists and pedestrians. Strict liability entitles a crash victim to compensation unless the driver can prove the cyclist or pedestrian was at fault. Strict liability encourages more careful driving (and cycling, because a cyclist would be deemed to be at fault for crashing into a pedestrian). Strict liability would be a matter of civil rather than criminal law so would not affect criminal prosecutions. Strict liability is supported by The Environmental Law Foundation Safer Streets Coalition Play England Roadpeace CTC
