Cycling back to happiness by Bernie Friend has received many excellent reviews. It tells one man’s story of how a bitter life was drastically improved by taking a long cycle tour. I skipped through some of the early passages as I didn’t particularly want to read all his rants and depressing observations. But, when the […]

Tough Time for Cyclists
It’s a tough time to be a cyclist at the moment. Every morning, we seem to be faced with either ice or snow. Since coming off early in the year, I’m reluctant to go out when I can see patches of ice still on the road. I did manage to cycle into work last Friday […]

Visiting a City by Bicycle
If you enjoy touristy things, what better way to explore a city by bike? With a bike you can meander through the labyrinth of streets without worry of getting lost. If you go 4 miles in the wrong direction, it’s not a problem on a bike like it would be if you are walking. With […]
Sitting on Wheels
It has been a frustrating start to the year with holidays, crashes, colds, rainy weather. The other day I went for a ride with Flavio. We did about 60 miles in just over 3 hours, with 2 testing climbs around Stokenchurch and Henley. On the way out there was a headwind and after the second […]

How Not To Fall Off a Bike
There’s nothing like a patch of ice, to remind you of how unstable a bike can be. Before you can say, ‘that looks pretty slippy’, you’ll be unceremoniously thrown to the ground with a torn trouser, injured pride and a damaged bike. Having said that I haven’t fallen off very often. In the past 30,000 […]
Penalties for Drug Use
I’ll never forget the day, 2 years ago, when I just turned on Eurosport ‘for 5 minutes’ to check how the racing was going. Flloyd Landis had just broken away from the peleton and started one of cycling’s epic breakaways. Three hours later I was still glued to the set thinking I had witnessed one […]
2 Stupid Cycling Accidents
It’s not been a good start to the year. 2 weeks in Malaysia meant a late start to the year. Last weekend I was putting some leaflets in pigeon holes when I strained my thigh muscle. I was just bending in a certain position for 10 – 15 minutes and when I stood up my […]
