June 8, 2011 by Uju Leave a Comment

When I got the invite to see Team GB cyclist Lizzie Armitstead cycling at Hamleys to promote the official London 2012 toy range, my first impression was that she was going to be doing wheelies around the toy store. ‘This I have to see,’ I thought, accepting immediately.
