Bradley Wiggins – My Time - at Amazon £9.00 I was reading this in Blackwells this morning. It felt like I was reading some recent newspapers as I’d heard Bradley say a lot of this stuff recently. However, it’s all pretty good and nice to have it all together. It’s not often you get to […]

Reasons to go out cycling in winter
This morning, I was nursing a rather painful saddle sore. The consequence of either a cheap saddle on my winter training bike or the many hours I’ve spent on the bike in the past seven days. Since it was also very cold first thing, I had two very good reasons not to go out cycling. […]

How to Increase Average Speed Cycling?
Readers Question: I’m a commuter/leisure cyclist and I’m looking to getting into race fitness for a few sportives next year. I’ve never raced before and would like to know the best training methods to start increasing my fitness and speed. When I go out for a ride it’s usually only 20 miles and I ride […]
Plans to Raise Speed of Lorries on Single Carriageways
If there’s one thing no cyclists enjoys – it’s being overtaken by a lorry on a single carriageway. It’s quite intimidating when a huge lorry speeds past too close for comfort. However, if lorries are obeying the speed limit and give you plenty of room, it feels a lot better. Yesterday, I found myself on […]
Have You Ever Been Knocked off the Bike?
According to a recent survey 1/3 of all cyclists have been knocked off their bike by other road users. In London, this rate rises to 42% - the lowest proportion is in Wales, at just 25%. (Road CC) I have been knocked off my bike twice by pedestrians. Fortunately, neither was serious. The first occasion […]
Dilemma’s of Winter Cycling
One of the great dilemmas of winter cycling – when to stop riding your summer bike. On a long ride, you prefer having your fastest, lightest road bike. So as long as possible, I try riding my summer racing bike. The problem is that: It’s painful to see your best bike terribly splattered with mud. […]

Sunday was a great day for November. 8 degrees, sunny, little wind – about as good as it gets at this time of the year. The first two hours were a little on cold side as the sun slowly appeared to warm up the clear day. I felt pretty slow plodding along, being more concerned […]
Winter Mileage Club
I’ve decided to start a winter mileage target plan. – 7,000 km by the end of February 2013. About 400km per week. That would be a lot of miles. And unless the weather stays as nice as in the past two weeks, it’s quite unlikely. But, having a target is something nice to aim for. More […]
Photos of Cycle Commuters
Cycling news has been overshadowed this week by two crashes to famous cyclists – first Bradley Wiggins knocked over by a van, then Shane Sutton in an accident on the A6. I can’t think of much to add apart from I hope cyclists get better, and I hope people become inspired to take more care […]
How Dangerous is Cycling?
Cycling is often perceived as a dangerous activity and this is often a big factor that discourages people from cycling. The potential dangers of cycling are highly visible and road users can feel vulnerable when facing fast moving traffic on both urban and rural roads. However, despite some fears about dangers of cycling, it is […]
