I blame Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boringman, Long Way Round my tits! With a camera crew and support vehicles its far removed from from an honest long distance ride.
Now the bit that gets me, they managed to inspire a plethora of middle aged blokes to buy BMW trailies matching outfits, bluetooth helmets with cameras attached and satnavs attached to their bars. So now do they not only look like fannies but they're riding like Mother Goose too so they can chat and film the scenery!
Everyone to their own I guess but it's not for me.
