Women's cycling is more popular than ever, with a quarter of a million ladies taking it up in the last three years. 

Here in West Yorkshire we're gearing up for the Tour de Yorkshire and of course hoping that Otley's finest Lizzie Armitstead will win the female race. 

But, it's not just highly athletic women taking the sport up, there are plenty of mums, teens and corporate high fliers who're also falling in love with two wheels - as I found out.

Happy Ed Balls Day! Who knew that five years ago, a Twitter fail would still be remembered. So what is it all about?

On 28 April 2011 Ed Balls, who was shadow chancellor and a West Yorkshire MP at the time, tweeted his own name in error. He was urged by his aide to search Twitter for articles mentioning his name, but instead of doing a search he tweeted his own name.

So on 28 April Twitter rejoices in the madness and celebrates Ed Balls.
