Cyclists v Taxi Drivers
Being a cyclist teaches you one thing, it’s no fun being lumped together with some snotty nosed teenager who happens to cycle on the pavement too fast. People are often lazy and label all cyclists as some homogenous entity. If one person on a bike does something wrong, the theory goes we are all like […]

Stop Start Training
Not a recent photo!. As a reader mentioned, sometimes it’s just nice to see photos from the height of summer, when we can ride in short sleeves and shorts. This winter, my training has been a bit stop-start. I’ve rarely managed two consecutive days of training, mostly managing to get out three times a week. […]

The Many Uses of the Bicycle

Discomfort in the Knee
Saturday was a grand day. Sunny and relatively mild. Well 5 degrees feels mild after many weeks of sub zero temperatures. I cycled to Burford about 55 miles. I was intending to do more, but some discomfort in the knee forced me to turn back. I wouldn’t say it was pain, but gave a nagging […]
Lee Evans Cycling Video
Lee Evans has a go at track cycling. You spend £5,000 on a bike and it doesn’t even have a stand.

Cycling Apps for iPhone
I remember when the first mobile phones came around in the 1990s. I tended to turn my nose up and think who would want to get one of those? A few years later I, of course, had my first mobile phone. I never used mobiles much (save texts from students to say they had slept […]
