Go Pedal bikes: so much easier on your body...

1. Note the upright riding position, with the back straight: much better for your overall posture.  Avoid those back problems by not folding yourself into a 'V'.  The comfortable seat is kinder on your nether regions, too.

2. Wide, retro handlebars = more control.  Your head is up and you can see the sights as you go along, not just the rear of the racer in front of you in the peloton.  Acknowledge those cheering crowds.  Perhaps even stop and have a chat.

3. Useful, sturdy luggage rack.  Where would you put your picnic on the Tour de France bike?  No room for any snacks at all!  No wonder the temptation is to resort to performance-enhancing drugs when you finally stop pedalling.

4. Cool, chromed mudguards keep the mud off your strides.  Or would you prefer to shave your legs?

5. Fat tyres, soaking up the bumps: Horseguards' Parade or Alpine col - no chattering teeth for the Go Pedal rider!
