I have been using a pair of Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels for 3-4 years. They are a very good road clincher wheelset. Light, stiff and look very good on the bike. The first thing about the wheels is that they look pretty impressive with shiny silver and flat spokes. A rarity amongst wheels, they will […]

Patience – A Difficult Virtue for Athletes
It is said that it’s much easier to give advice than to take it. I thought after recent accident and blood clot, I should take it fairly easy. But, the leg seemed to have fully recovered, and you soon forget about the past and your own advice. I was out cycling towards Brill on my […]

My Book on ‘Self-Improvement’
A year ago, I wrote and published a book “Happiness Will Follow You” It is a collection of articles on meditation and ‘self-improvement’ I guess I could have included an article on ‘How to cycle on British roads and without getting mad at inconsiderate motorists‘ But, essentially it has nothing to do with cycling.

Back on Bike
After four weeks off the bike, I finally got on the old lycra shorts and went out for a proper ride. Just 15 miles or so to start off with. It wasn’t too much fun, because the left leg is still weak – not painful, but doesn’t feel quite right. I will have to take […]
