A recent court ruling said that cyclists who do not wear helmets will be eligible for less compensation because they are partly at fault for not taking protective measures. The ruling, by Mr Justice Griffith Williams, came in a case brought by 29-year-old Robert Smith who was knocked off his bike by a speeding motorcyclist […]

Night Photos of Cyclists and Oxford
The Sheldonian theatre and a full moon. The full moon inspired me to take out my tripod and take some photos of cyclists at night. It was very difficult to take photos of cyclists at night, because you need the cyclist to be still. Basically this means catching them when they stop at traffic lights. […]
Cycle Training Tips
I love training almost as much as racing. I think to enjoy training is a very important aspect. If you have motivation and enthusiasm; if you are positive about riding, then you are going to make much more progress than if you just feel you need to churn out the miles to meet some training […]
Potholes in the Road

Lance Armstrong and Paul Kimmage
I have great respect for Paul Kimmage. He was one of the first professional cyclists to ‘lift the lid’ and speak about the culture of doping. For his efforts he was widely condemned and ostracised by the procycling community who closed ranks and denied doping was a problem. It’s taken innumerable doping scandals, failed dope […]

Keeping warm in the weak winter sun Two men Having a Chat whilst cycling on different bikes Two cyclists looking the other way Dealing With Rusty Chains At the risk of being patronising you can easily deal with rusty chains […]

Using a certain points scoring system, he came up with a top 25 list here: I’ll just mention the top 10, but, you can see the rest on his site: Eddy Merckx “The Cannibal”, Belgium (1966-1978) Total points: 410.50 […]
