The Escape Artist

Surprising news in the Guardian this morning -- Matt Seaton is giving up his cycling column, as of this week.

He implies that someone else will be taking over the slot, but no more details are given.

It's a shame. Seaton -- author of one of my favourite cycling books --displays the endearing mixture of intelligence and obsessiveness which characterises so many cyclists.

He has managed to combine an encyclopaedic knowledge of bikie trivia and lore with a welcoming approach to non-specialists and newcomers.

I wish him well with whatever his future role is, but he'll be missed on Thursdays.
