Whenever I buy a new bike, I always promise myself that I will always keep it spotlessly clean. In practise, my good intentions last for a few weeks. After a hard 3 hour training ride, giving your bike a proper clean never seems that appealing. Nevertheless, since I keep one bike in my dining room, […]

Commuting By Bike
I got into cycling through riding long distances with a cycle club. The idea of commuting to school by bike never occurred to me. It would have been about a 9 mile commute into the centre of Bradford and unfortunately cycling didn’t seem very practical. I’m sure my mother would have raised many objections. It […]
24 Hours Too Early For Race
Top of Dover Hill I turned upto a race, 24 hours too early today. For some reason, I thought race was on Saturday. I drove past the hq 3 times, because I was looking for cyclists in the vicinity. Because I didn’t see any, I thought it must be somewhere else. I was getting quite […]

Brompton World Championships – Photos
Waiting for the Off. The racers in suits, get ready. You don’t start on your bike, but have to run to your bike and unfold it. It reminds of the old GP races when you had to run to your car. UPDATE: Robert Heras (the former Tour de France rider) finished 2nd!. I think he […]

Blenheim Palace Cycling Event
A real Penny Farthing The Blenheim Palace cycling event seemed a great success. There were 100s of cyclists there – from eccentrics riding old penny Farthings, to the country’s top road racers and time triallists. In the middle, we were treated to the highly entertaining Brompton World Championships. After the official racing, we were able […]
