The Daily Telegraph, 08/05/2012, p.4, Richard Fletcher
Cycling is a growth market, and this is expected to accelerate on the back of the London Olympics later this year. Barclays Capital cites a survey by LSE which showed that cycling was seen as the most popular sport to take up in Sydney after the 2000 Olympic Games and analyst Christodoulos Chaviaras has upgraded his growth forecasts for Halfords' cycle business from 4pc to 7pc on the back of the Olympics.

Aditya Chakrabortty writes: Last month on this page, I discussed this absence and the dearth of sociologists and other non-economists analysing how we got into this mess. Nothing particularly controversial there, I thought, upon filing the piece, especially since I had canvassed opinion from a number of academics and presented the argument to a broadly supportive forum of sociologists at the LSE.
