Yesterday, two separate readers left a comment mentioning this BBC link about using a bike helmet camera My observations: It is pretty tough to watch. It’s painful to see how angry the white van driver is, despite knocking off the cyclist. Though it ties in with my observations that the worse the driving is – […]
Obree
I have always followed the career of Graeme Obree quite closely. Part of the reason he was always a cyclist I could identify with. A British timetrialist and pursuiter, not exactly enamoured with the world of European professional cycling and the bizarre implementation of UCI rules and regulation. I hope, if fate had gained me […]
Speed on Flat and Hills
Readers Question: i have a query, you seem like the best person to answer it: as a relatively quick hillclimber, how can i convert my climbing speed to flatter events? i managed 24th at Dovers, but when it comes to tens, i’m an also-ran. does it have to be like this? you seem to have […]
Cyclists v Taxi Drivers
Being a cyclist teaches you one thing, it’s no fun being lumped together with some snotty nosed teenager who happens to cycle on the pavement too fast. People are often lazy and label all cyclists as some homogenous entity. If one person on a bike does something wrong, the theory goes we are all like […]
Stop Start Training
Not a recent photo!. As a reader mentioned, sometimes it’s just nice to see photos from the height of summer, when we can ride in short sleeves and shorts. This winter, my training has been a bit stop-start. I’ve rarely managed two consecutive days of training, mostly managing to get out three times a week. […]

The Many Uses of the Bicycle
I sometimes search through Archive photos. These were in the UK national archives. First one shows the joy of cycling. Significant in that, during the late Victorian period, the bicycle gave women a sense of real freedom. I love how in those days, you could ride FIVE abreast and there was no car driver to […]
Preventing Rusty Chain
My bikes are getting a real pounding from the combination of salt water, potholes and bad weather. The essential thing is to keep your chain and rear cassette well oiled during this salty season. Even one ride in salty water can change your chain and cassette to a nice shade of orange; it is very […]
It’s the Cyclists’ Fault
A while back, I posted about a close encounter with a van driver not looking where he was going. Someone commented, it was my fault because I didn’t look him in the eye. If someone is driving without any attention as to where they are going, I’m not sure how trying to look him in […]
