Cycling Comedy

Comedian Mark Watson (with megaphone) says he is “Crap at the Environment“. This year as part of his annual Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Marathon he (and his audience) planted some trees in Craigmillar and did some cycling in The Meadows.

Mark has never mastered the art of riding a bike. So he enlisted the help of ChangingPace’s A(ction) Team to change that. Darren gave him a basic Cycle Training lesson – enough for him to hobby-horse around the obstacle course supplied by Maggie, David piloted the tandem that was earmarked for the race against Aussie comic Adam Hills (pictured right). In the event Hills found that he was “so unfit” and just did a couple of laps of the skills course!
