He tells these stories in a very matter of fact way... like the time he opened up his thigh with a cutoff wheel and was amazed that there was no bleeding as it was pretty deep and about 5 inches long.

Said he realized that the heat of the cutoff wheel had also burned through and cauterized the wound so he drove himself to the hospital.

Reminds me of the first time I used a grinder. Burned through a fingertip in a quick second. Learned a lot that day.

Kudos to this guy for hopping back on the saddle and finishing.

The new London velodrome for the 2012 Olympics is made of Siberian Pine.

The track is made of Siberian pine because the trees are known for being straight and tall, making them suitable for the lengths of timber required to shape the track.
