hammond e as bicicletas

Pode ser um dos apresentadores de programas sobre carros mais conhecido no mundo, mas na verdade prefere andar de bicicleta na cidade (ou scooter ou mota).


Hammond 'prefers cycling in town'
Top Gear host and motoring fan Richard Hammond has confessed to preferring cycling around town to driving a car. The BBC Two presenter also told GQ magazine he understood concerns about global warming and said driving 4x4s in London was "pretty unnecessary".
Hammond admitted being ridiculed by fellow host Jeremy Clarkson, known for his cynical views on the environment. He also spoke about his 280mph crash last year, saying he had been convinced he had "been at a party for two weeks".
Love of bikes
When asked in the magazine interview about public concern over greenhouse gas emissions, the 37-year-old host said: "Well, I can understand that. Driving a Range Rover in London is pretty unnecessary." Speaking about his own choice of transport, he said: "When I am in town I get around either on a scooter, a motorbike or on a bicycle.


"I've lost count of the times I've pulled up to the lights on my shiny Specialized bicycle and heard someone yell, 'Hey, mate, where's your Ferrari?'
