2CV tour of Pas de Calais
Bruno Delforge has a thing about quirky French transportation. Six Citroen Deux Chevaux sit side by side in an old barn in Clairmarais, 45 minutes from Calais, and he can’t quit talking about them: their simplistic workings, their sensual shape, the experience of driving them. He can’t quit, that is, until you ask him about the Solex bikes.

What's the best way to train for a marathon? Go on holiday
Preparation - any top athlete will tell you - is key, and I'm no exception. The London Marathon may be a long way (26 miles and 385 yards, at the last count) but, hey, as long as you stick to your routine - the long Sunday runs, the short sprints, the fartleks, no schoolboy sniggering, please - there's no reason why anyone should have anything to fear. Even a fat, grey-haired crock with crumbling knees and a Gazza-type refuelling problem.

Why we'll still pay for luxury in the air and on the ground
When business-class airline Eos filed for bankruptcy last weekend, it came as little surprise to industry-watchers. The standalone business-class-only model has been a spectacular casualty of soaring fuel prices and the economic slowdown, with only two now remaining - Silverjet, flying Luton to New York and Dubai, and L'Avion, connecting Paris to New York - both of which commentators expect to follow suit.

Simon Calder: The man whose business is travel
Bright and lucrative: that's the future for transatlantic business-class-only flights, despite the collapse of two such airlines in four months. Just ask Silverjet and British Airways. BA is finessing its plans for a twice-daily link between London City airport and New York. Meanwhile, Silverjet is the last man standing after a bloody business-class-only war of attrition that began two-and-a-half years ago. The surviving airline is - according to its founder, Lawrence Hunt, "almost profitable".
