I don’t know why, but it seems an increasingly common experience for motorists to turn right into a road just as I am cycling along. I presume they feel they can turn right and still not hit you because a bike should be one foot from left hand curb. But, it feels quite threatening when […]

Bristol South CC Hill Climb
Burrington Combe at bottom This weekend was just one race. Burrington Combe hill climb organised by Bristol South CC. I’ve done this race for quite a few years and have won it for past three years. It’s a good climb, not too steep, but close to two miles. The gradient isn’t constant but has several […]
Warming Up for Race
Warming up for National Hill Climb Champs 2009 I know a top time triallist who says that now he has a power meter he doesn’t have to warm up – so he just rides to the start and goes for it. There’s probably some iffy science behind it. But, it doesn’t feel right to me. […]
Oxford University Cycling Club
I became interested in cycling quite late. My early cycling experiences mainly involved long social rides. These were often with Otley CC or on my own. It was the great tradition of the British club run – Cycle all day with about 2 or 3 cafe stops. The main goal was to enjoy cycling – […]
Riding Through Winter
This is fun It’s the time of the year, when we begin to think how much to cycle over the winter. On a balmy sunny day, the weather almost beckons you to jump on the bike, and if you’re stuck in an office, it’s frustrating to say the least. But, when winter weather starts, it […]
Standards of Driving
‘Against stupidity the Gods themselves strive in vain.” – Ancient Greek Saying A while back, I was watching a TV programme about the Road traffic police in the south of England. It was somewhat macabrely fascinating, if not particularly enjoyable. It seemed the police came across everything – Motorcyclists who risked everything for a few […]
The Dream Bike
I enjoyed watching a TV programme about cycling journalist, Robert Penn because of the infectious enthusiasm he obviously had for his dream bike. It felt like watching a young child opening presents on Christmas Day. – Picking up a handmade leather saddle from Brooks, a groupset from Campagnolo in Vicensa – all gave Robert great […]
Training Schedule 2010
This weekend I am away in New York, so will have no races. Then there are just three weeks until the last race of the season. Already, I’ve reduced the training load. More by accident than design. Last week, I didn’t spend too long on the bike. Monday was a rest day (bad back) Tuesday […]
Cycling Two Abreast
The Highway code states: 66 You Should: “never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends” (Direct Gov) So it is legal to ride two abreast. Also note , the highway code states ‘you should’ rather than ‘you must’. This means it is […]
Autumn Cycling by River
It’s still pretty mild, though increasingly very wet. When it is warm and dry, October can be a very good month for cycling. This is a popular commute into centre of Oxford I think that’s a Liverpool scarf. Hazy days Related Oxford Cycling November cycling
