King Charles delights cyclists with surprise encounter

<p>A group of cyclists have caught the heartwarming moment they bumped into King Charles on camera. </p> <p>The royal was hiking alone near Balmoral estate when he passed by the group of mountain bikers, and in typical British fashion, started talking to them about the weather, and sharing his most cherished memories on the estate. </p> <p>The video, posted on mountain biker Andrew McAvoy's YouTube channel <em>McTrail Rider, </em>racked up over 310,000 views in just two days. </p> <p>"I think Charlie boy is here because there's guards down there with big assault rifles and stuff like that - it looks pretty cool," McAvoy said just before he started his trail. </p> <p>"They probably wouldn't do that if no one important was here." </p> <p>Not long after he spotted a walked in the distance and added: "I think that's a minor royal," before the realisation set in that it was in fact the King himself.</p> <p>The King stopped and started chatting with the group of cyclists, with McAvoy sharing that he and his friends were staying at he Royal Lochnagar Distillery, and were heading for Gelder Shiel - also known as Ernie's Bothy or the Royal Bothy - a public shelter used by hillwalkers. </p> <p>"We'll be staying in the bothy tonight," McAvoy said. </p> <p>"So good. I'm so glad it works. I think because it's is really nice. We renovated recently, but I'm trying to get more trees," Charles replied. </p> <p>"Yeah, it's looking looking lush compared to what it was two years ago. Do you ever stay there?" McAvoy added. </p> <p>"No we used to with my father and sister. It's occasionally used nowadays by another generation," Charles said. </p> <p>When asked if he was still on his summer holiday the monarch replied: "Yes. It is wonderful up here. The midges are horrendous. It's typical."</p> <p>The King added that he liked walking because it was "good for the soul" despite a somewhat colder Scottish summer this year. </p> <p>They then bid their farewells, with the King showing his sense of humour saying: "Take care, don't fall off!" </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QABiQFWwXHg?si=oYHjQOwz997qnPRg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>After their brief encounter, McAvoy and his friends couldn't help but comment on "what a nice man" Charles was.</p> <p>"Lovely man had time for us. Nice. I'm annoyed because I didn't want to care, but that was nice."</p> <p>The cyclist added: "He's a nice man. He's walking when everyone else is driving.</p> <p>"I'm just perplexed. It'd be one thing to like see the King with everyone - he was just wandering down the trail on his own."</p> <p>The Balmoral estate is generally open to the public from April to July each year, with access to the castle grounds being allowed on certain dates from September to December from this year. </p> <p><em style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #323338; font-family: Figtree, Roboto, Rubik, 'Noto Kufi Arabic', 'Noto Sans JP', sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; outline: none !important;">Images:  McTrail Rider YouTube</em></p>

Hard to watch! Paralympic champion given the worst gifts ever

<p>A Spanish Paralympic cyclist has been given the worst trophy gifts in history, with his calm and collected reaction making waves online. </p> <p>Ricardo Ten Argiles was last week crowned world champion in three separate events at the 2023 UCI World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.</p> <p>During the post race ceremonies, he was presented with two gold medals, along with two very surprising gifts from the event's major sponsor: international watch company Tissot.</p> <p>The 47-year-old was gifted not one, but TWO watches in a fancy display case, despite having both his arms amputated at the forearm. </p> <p>A video of Ten keeping a straight face while being handed one of the watches has started to spread across the internet with more than 800,000 views.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Not a very well thought gift. <a href="https://t.co/hRhaTfnGsE">pic.twitter.com/hRhaTfnGsE</a></p> <p>— Cycling out of context (@OutOfCycling) <a href="https://twitter.com/OutOfCycling/status/1691136594747469836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 14, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p>One video shows Ten standing on the podium and exchanging some friendly words with an official as he holds the watch case tightly between his arms. </p> <p>Understandably, the mortifying moment has been met with outrage and black humour. </p> <p>The athlete himself has been laughing off the incident and has embraced the way his social media pages have exploded with comments.</p> <p>Many of the comments suggested that Ten regift the expensive watches at Christmas, while others wondered how officials at the event could've let the awkward gifts happen. </p> <p>Despite the outrage from fans, Ten responded to one news story about the “tactless blunder” by writing on Twitter, “I am very happy to have won two TISSOTs, one for each arm, but above all for what it means for Paralympic cycling, total inclusion of the sport at the highest level”.</p> <p><em>Image credits: Twitter</em></p>

Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly hit cyclist with his car

<p dir="ltr">Arnold Schwarzenegger has allegedly been involved in a car accident that resulted in a woman being sent to hospital. </p> <p dir="ltr">The former California governor, 75, reportedly struck a woman on Sunday who was riding a bike with his car after she swerved into his lane, according to<em> <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/05/arnold-schwarzenegger-involved-bicyclist-traffic-accident-not-at-fault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a></em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">A spokesperson for the Los Angeles police department could not immediately confirm the accident to the <em><a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/05/arnold-schwarzenegger-involved-in-car-accident-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a></em>, although police sources told TMZ that Schwarzenegger was not to blame for the accident. </p> <p dir="ltr">The source said Schwarzenegger, who is an avid cyclist himself, was not able to avoid the unidentified victim in the crash after the woman made a left turn in front of Schwarzenegger's vehicle before he could hit his brakes to come to a stop.</p> <p dir="ltr">The actor was reportedly co-operating with officers at the scene in West Los Angeles, while the cyclist was taken to hospital with minor injuries. </p> <p dir="ltr">Schwarzenegger also allegedly took the woman's bike to a local shop to repair the damage it sustained from the collision. </p> <p dir="ltr">An investigation into the incident is still ongoing, while reps for Schwarzenegger have yet to comment on the crash. </p> <p dir="ltr">The Austrian-born actor has had a run of bad luck with motor vehicle accidents lately.</p> <p dir="ltr">In January 2022, Schwarzenegger was involved in a multi-car crash in Brentwood, California.</p> <p dir="ltr">Schwarzenegger walked away from that crash seemingly uninjured, but another person involved sustained a head injury.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sources said at the time that the star was “deeply concerned” about the woman and intended to personally check up on her.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

BREAKING: Several people killed after truck plows into cyclists in New York

<p>A man has been shot and taken into custody in New York after driving his Home Depot rental truck onto a busy bike path and firing at a crowd. At least six people have been killed and 15 more have been injured.</p> <p>The incident occurred on the West Side Highway in Lower Manhattan, nearby Stuyvesant High School and the site of the World Trade Center. It comes just hours before New York’s annual Halloween parade, which attracts thousands to the area.</p> <p>“What happened was there was a car crash… he came out of one of the cars. He had two guns. He was running around Chambers [Street] and somebody started to chase him,” 14-year-old Stuyvesant student Laith Bahlouli told reporters. “I heard four to six gunshots – everybody starts running.”</p> <p>US police have described the incident as a terror attack, with reports suggesting the FBI has taken over the investigation.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The death toll has risen to eight, according to a statement from Mayor Bill de Blasio.</p> <p>"This was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going about their lives who had no idea about what was about to hit them. We know of eight innocent people who have lost their lives and over a dozen more injured.</p> <p>"We know that this action was intended to break our spirit, but we also know New Yorkers are strong, New Yorkers are resilient and our spirit will never be moved by an act of violence."</p> <p>The suspect allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic) during the incident.</p> <p><em>More to come.</em></p>

Google and Levi’s create jacket for cyclists

<p>It's been a year since Google first announced its partnership with Levi's, but only now are the fruits of their collaboration starting to materialise.</p> <p>As part of this year's I/O conference, the companies unveiled the first piece of connected clothing powered with Jacquard by Google technology: A Levi's trucker jacket made specifically for commuting bikers.</p> <p>Woven into one of the sleeves is a patch of conductive fibres-so subtle you can barely tell it's there-that lets you tap or swipe across its surface and toggle a series of customisable commands, from silencing calls to querying Google Maps for directions.</p> <p>The tech components are twofold. The metal-based conductive fibres are fully washable and sewed into the denim, and a button-sized piece of removable hardware called the "smart tag" allows the jacket to connect to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth.</p> <p>Gesture controls and specific functions can be customised with the help of a companion app, but there's no word yet as to whether that app will be immediately available for non-Android users.</p> <p>Among the tasks the jacket can perform: offering up suggestions for nearby coffee shops (or other types of venues), providing an ETA to your destination, and changing tracks on your playlist. </p> <p>All of the info is conveyed by audio, so you're not distracted by screens. By next year, Google will release further details on battery specs and whether smart tags can be interchanged between garments; those logistics and the jacket's price are still in the works.</p> <p>Though Levi's is Google's first Jacquard partner, the platform will ultimately be open to third party designers and app developers-just like Google's smartwatch line, Android Wear.</p> <p>The conductive fibres that power Jacquard are compatible with any commercial loom, which means that any designer of textile-based products will easily be able to incorporate the technology into their wares. In other words: clothing is just the beginning, and furniture may well be up next.</p> <p>Watch the video above to see how it works. Do you think it would be useful?
