Witcomb and The Incredible Shrinking Man
Here are all the symptoms of a contagious disease. My clothes hang off me; I spend hours each week soaked in sweat; I am half the man I was. I am a cyclist.
Such was the shocking confession made by Andrew Gilligan, best known for his 2003 report about a British government briefing paper on Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, recently made in the Evening Standard, where he is now a columnist.
The article, while extolling the virtues of commuting cycling and debunking a few myths, explains how cycling has helped the writer lose weight; almost 30kg (about 4 stones) in 14 months.
A good fifth of the double page spread was taken up by a picture of Mr Gilligan and his bike, revealing it to the astonished world to be, you have guessed it, a Witcomb bicycle, a mountain-bike.
