All right. Hands up all those feeling flatter than a tyre that's had a visit from the puncture fairy after last weekend's big rides have been and gone and the elections are over and we still haven't woken up in a hillier version of the Netherlands?

I hope you'll excuse us if this blog round up is even more incoherent as ever - not only was your rounder-upper distracted by the small matter of helping organise Pedal on Parliament - but it was one hell of a week all round.

Ah, Easter, beloved by cyclists everywhere as a chocolate fest, not to mention the whole miraculous rising from the dead thing. And let's start with the resurrection side of things, with Beauty and the Bike to rise again, and Darlovelo given a new lease of life, courtesy of Darlo Bike Girl's resurrected biking mojo.

Well, top marks to the government for the biggest (if a little premature) April fool of them all: the great-fuel-crisis-that-never-was (and look who they have to send to close down a petrol station).
