Only £100 – well in 1938. Being the kind of cyclist who spends £50 on a tubular, and £500 on a wheel, it’s hard to get my head around the idea of buying a bike for £100. If you bought the parts separately, they would certainly add up to more than £100. There are bikes […]

How Can I Go 30 mph in Time trials?
Another title found from keyword searches. Firstly, it is difficult to maintain an average speed of 30mph for 10 or 25 miles. The world hour record which stipulates you have to use a road bike is just above 30mph, 49.700 km (30.882 mi) . This means on a track, with road bike, the best rider in the […]
Quick Tip on Road Signals
Last week I was training in the Cotswolds. I was waiting to turn right, a car was signalling left. So you expect the car to turn left at your junction. The temptation is to move out and turn right. But, when cars signal, they may not always turn where they are going. I noticed the […]
Taking Photos of Cycling
The first thing with taking photos of cyclists. It’s much easier to take photos than it is to edit, upload and put into blog post. Usually, I make use of Flickr uploader. But, if you want better photos, I find it quicker to do a bit of photoshop than to change all settings on camera. […]
Sore After Long Cycle
An aerodynamic position, but likely to leave you feeling some soreness for anything over 25 miles. On Monday, I often check my web stats to see the keywords people are searching to come to site. One which stood out was ‘sore bits after long cycle ride’ – I notice that search often comes on a […]

Cycle To Work Challenge
GM work place Challenge For a brief moment, I thought that General Motors, GM, were promoting a campaign to encourage people to remember the joys of cycling. Alas, it wasn’t that GM, but the GM of Greater Manchester. Well it’s a good idea, which I’d love to encourage so here’s the site Cycle To Work […]
Raleigh Explorer Bike
I saw this Raleigh explorer bike, and thought it would make a good addition to the vintage bike collection. You might not be able to see from this photo, but underneath Raleigh, it says ‘the all steel bicycle.’ A great simple single speed. A like matching bell and saddle (though it doesn’t look very comfortable.) […]
The Perfect Cycle Lane
Who says cycling is all about dodging traffic, getting cut up by buses and avoiding potholes? no parked cars No mysterious ending of cycle lane after 5 feet. (shortest cycle lane) No motorised vehicles. Wide enough for two cyclists and pedestrians Beautiful surroundings. After a while the cycle path splits into two. The cycle path […]
