Congratulations to Mark Cavendish and Team GB for finishing off an amazing victory in the World Road Championship – the first since Tom Simpson in 1965. Despite my love of cycling, it’s not often I get excited about watching cycle races – often they are pretty tedious events. But, today I felt quite fortunate to […]

Week Off the Bike
It’s not quite the end of the world to have a week off the bike, in fact it’s quite nice. Instead of getting frustrated with motorists and the state of British roads, you can get frustrated with webservers, and the state of the British economy. It was just a little feeble cold, but enough reason […]
Running vs Cycling
For quite a few years I took running quite seriously. I was a member of the school cross country team run by two teachers who had a super-enthusiastic approach to cross country; (an enthusiasm which was rarely shared by anyone else), but nevertheless it meant the school (Bradford Grammar) was invariably the best in the […]

Craft Pro Zero Base Layer
I don’t have many proper base layers. I usually wear a few vests from M&S so I asked a company to review their base layers. The Craft Pro Zero base layer is a very nice comfortable product to have next to your skin. It is light, soft and flexible. It also fits close to the […]
Best Winter Tyres
For winter riding, I will choose 700*25. Even 25s are a little thin for winter conditions. At the moment it can be quite treacherous with wet leaves on the road. I take extra care not wanting to risk a broken leg. For winter riding, the main thing is puncture resistance and good grip on the […]

I was cycling through Oxford after 60 miles in the Chilterns. A couple were starting to cross the road. The bloke wasn’t looking where he was going, and he was going to walk into my path. His girlfriends pulled his jacket and made him stop. I smiled at the women to say thanks. As I […]
In Search of Speed
The reason I changed the theme of this blog is that I was trying to get a quicker loading time. This wordpress theme is called ‘swift’ and supposed to be quick to load. Personally, I dislike waiting for sites to load so try to make my sites as quick as I can. For some reason […]
Cycling’s Craziest Stories
I have been reading Cycling’s craziest stories by Les Woodland. I really enjoy it. I’ve read quite a few cycling books, but many of these stories sounded new. Some stories like the famous ‘baron’ who rode the tour de france with two ‘valets’ I had heard about, but here there was more detail about the […]
50 Miles Without a Saddle
If you thought your last cycle ride was tough, just think what it would have been like if you had done it without a saddle. Scottish riders Carlos Riise (Shetland Wheelers) flew down from the Shetlands to ride the Scottish Vet 50. But, in flying 250 miles south he left his saddle back in […]

If you’re chain keeps coming off your bike, there are a few things to check: Is the chain worn? – you can use a chain measuring tool to see if it needs changing or you can do a simple test with your thumb and see how far it comes off front chain ring. A worn […]
