    ."..and oh my, I see our hot favourite coming round the corner and entering the final stretch. Let's see how she copes with our final hurdles... YES! did you see that, ladies and gentlemen?, did you see how she neatly anticipated the bus swinging out to cut her off?! And how elegantly she checked her back, gave the proper hand signal AND changed lanes, all in a matter of seconds!! And she went STRAIGHT for the entire lane, accelerating to stay right in front of that taxi. Note that friendly wave to the taxi driver, a very nice touch. THIS is how a champion commuter rides, and look at that big smile as she sweeps down to the finish!!"

    hee-hee, I'll have a lot of fun commutes coming up with this soundtrack running

    Smile Day 1 of the tour

    "oh, it looks like the California rider took the train on the home stretch. Watch as she gracefully switches the bike from one side of the car to the other so that passengers are not delayed. Nice touch. This folks is why we love the Olympics. Now they are back on the road, the riders are stopped at a light, it's not timed. Trek is obviously listening to her team manager, something's going on, she's been told to go to the curb. And she pushes the button to get them a left hand signal But wait, that got her the points to ... folks this is unheard of they are tied! The riders are tied for the "Least Aggressive Rider" jersey"

    "Jim, back when I was commuting (female announcer coughs and adjusts her mike) back when I was commuting, we weren't using those bike paths. But look how smoothly this contender moves along over the river and under the overpasses. She's going to steal a good five minute lead avoiding the lights. Oh! Watch out for the bum collecting cans! Excellent swerve. She might even have time to stop for a cup of coffee at the dunkin donuts at the end of the path."
    I can do five more miles.

    Even if the Olympics isn't buying, it would be a fun TV show contest.

    Yes!! Imagine having to commute unfamiliar routes in different countries, with penalties for getting lost, etc. This could work!
