Nonsense and poppycock ! here I am taking a leisurely bundubashing/cycle in the savage invested wilderness with my crocodile and panther repellant handy, I am well fortified against the tsetse flies and malaria using copious amounts of wine to fight off the dizziness. Even Robert Mugabe the fearless and erudite leader of Zimbabwe has become a patron of cycling mainly because he stole all the money and no-one can afford cars anymore. Nevertheless, much joy is being had here in the deepest darkest corners of Africa - a little known fact is that the current Tour de France winner and part time jogger, Chris Froome comes from deepest darkest central Africa .
