    Olympics triatholon free for all?
    Simple question - do you have to have a ticket to watch the triatholons at the games or can you just stand by the road? Same for the road cycle races?

    I don't think so - I was (unintentionally) at the triathlon Olympics test event last summer while taking a trip to Hyde Park with a friend! There was no ticketing, and I think it'd be impossible to ticket an event which goes all around Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace!

    Triathlon
    Sat 4 Aug 9am-11.40am, women Tue 7 Aug 11.30am-2pm, men
    Outstanding value for no money: three disciplines jammed into the mid-sized hectarage of Hyde Park, with competitors constantly engaged in some form of swim-bike-run, the latter two in lap form. Hyde Park on a sunny day is a kind of urban heaven anyway. Chuck in athletes running 10km in swimming trunks and who could ask for more?
    Best vantage point The dirt track on the south side for sprint finish possibilities
