Suggestion...

Get the van on the side of the road which thay are using....you may
get a free bit of TV advertising if it is filmed by a TV crew. May
even be able to expand and go 'Multi-National' !!!


Plus, it gets you out of 'tidying the van'!!!

Don't you just have to 'time' your departure / arrival, I might be
wrong but don't they use rolling road closures?

Does it start in London and then go across the Channel?

Yes, they're going to take their bikes apart and go on Eurostar.

Try crossing the road with a ladder on your shoulder - I believe the French
are quite keen on this form of humour.... )

Friend of mine was walking the dog just at the time when the Round
Britain Milk Race was hurtling through their village. Dog let off
lead - dog haretails it down the lane to the main road - dog tries to
cross said main road at speed - dog gets entangled with upwards of ten
bikes and riders - said riders are de-biked and suffer countless
gravel-rash injuries - exit one dog owner, very embarrassed. If only
the cameras were on hand!

Bugger. I must remember that.

We get the odd invasion of Lycra clad suburbanites with sweaty crotches
and straining anuses and all.

The terrier will chase anything that moves...

No sense of enterprise

Scatter some tacks and stand there with a sign and a puncture repair kit

LOL. Just seen a clip on TV, not quite ten but one de-biked and a
couple other riders needed to take avoiding action when stray dog
crossed road whilst Le Tour passed by...

Dog seemed to know that it had become the centre of attention, could
swear that it had a smug grin on it's face!

"keen cyclist" is usually a euphemism for "scrawny lycra fetishist"
