I’ve been spending two weeks in New York. The weather was very hot (85-100 F), which I like. Coming back to England makes me start rummaging around for leg warmers and gloves. There is a definite autumnal feel compared to the US. I didn’t do much cycling in New York, apart from a few interval […]

How To Ride A Hill Climb
It’s the time of the year, when 100 mile time trials are distant memories. It’s no longer about endurance, stamina, but about pure speed, strength and your power to weight ratio. The hill climb is very much a specialist event, unlikely to appeal to all cyclists – (especially those with more than adequate layers of […]
A Classic Harrier Bike Spotted in Town
But, you missed photographing the cyclist. Nice basket Harrier Bicycle – A real British classic. At least I think it is a British classic, I couldn’t even find any info on t’intenet it is that old. There is a Harrier motorcycle company. Many bicycle manufacturers later developed into bicycle manufacturers. The Bridge of Sighs and […]
Cycling for Free
A free ride on back 20 is Plenty past Cycle King Lots of road markings around here Cycle King next to Global Pound Plus – very appropriate. Debenhams style
A Nice Quiet Ride
Sometimes, you just cycle along, enjoy the ride, and you even get home without some awkward incident with an impatient van driver. I wonder whether those that read the blog may get the impression that it’s perpetual war on the roads here in England. Actually, it’s not too bad. Mostly it’s fine and you can […]
Sharing the Road
We share the road with a variety of other users. In Oxford we have everything from Refuse collection lorries, innumerable double decker buses, to packs of tourists who follow a small umbrella of the tour guide oblivious to any passing traffic. If you wanted you could very easily get frustrated with tourists who pack into […]
Different Places to Cycle
A narrow residential road in Oxford with traffic calming measures, gets narrower further up. Wide enough for three cars (two parked) in theory slows cars down. Can be a tight squeeze at times. A much nicer place to cycle – along the Thames cycle path. An overhead shot Bike by South Parks and St Clements
A Tough Day in Saddle
Sunday was a 100 Mile Time trial organised by West D.C, I think a lot were from Severn R.C. It’s a good course, and well marshalled. There was also an excellent free drinks service. So you could shout your number and pick up your bottle 100 metres down the road. Thanks very much to those […]
Spot The Cyclist
Nice fixed bike. BTW: Prize for first person to Spot the cyclist in this picture photo Cycling into town Many stony eyed spectators look on. The Pleasures and sorrows of Cycling. Cycling along. Cycling Oxford
Cycling in Dark Clothes
blending in with surroundings is not entirely the best strategy for cycling in busy cities, but, it does often seem to be the most popular. I was stuck in Marston getting an Ipod adapter fitted to my car, so I was taking a few photos. Not too many cyclists about, probably because it was raining […]
Why Does It Always Rain When I Do Intervals?
This week has been fairly light in terms of training volume, but, high in terms of intensity. Just two rides so far – Tuesday and Thursday. Each day was heading off to ride up a few hills as fast as I can. I have timed myself up many hills with cycling distance of Oxford. Tuesday […]
