What a state of the art aero bike looked like in 1979. It's a Gitane for Bernard Hinault (Renault-Gitane) with profiled tubing, aero stem + bars, front brake backwards.

Steve Coogan is a brilliant actor but he is an awful driver.
It is the second time a judge has shown leniency so Coogan can continue TV and film roles which involve driving.

Steve Coogan uses The Trip to avoid lengthier driving ban
The actor and comedian has been banned for two months instead of six, meaning filming can go-ahead.
