Lance Armstrong’s steely glare might not be seen on Le Tour again, but any aspiring cyclists should beware that he’s passed it on to someone else… Saw this photo (right) of Lance and his son Max on the Livestrong website, and was immediately reminded of the celebrated Armstrong ‘look’*.

Remember those sites that used to proudly pronounce that they were ‘Best viewed in Netscape 4 or above’, a practice we thankfully don’t see much of any more? Well, today I had occasion to look something up on the Melbourne Bike Share website, and not being sure of the URL I ran it by Google [...]
