There are few things I enjoy more in cycling-land than the arrival of a new time trial helmet. There’s a wet Paris-Roubaix. There’s watching the Tour de France peloton on Alpe d’Huez. But I love most our capacity for over-reaction, and for over-reaction a new TT lid tops all. But before we get to the latest offering from the comedy-meisters at Giro’s helmet division, we’re going to have a brief diversion into a bewildering theatrical experience.

A few years ago someone took me to see Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. This is not a semi-classic you’ve missed, it’s a comedy ballet company.

Everything we cyclists have put on our heads since we invented the bike has been mystifying and ridiculous
