The Real Guide To Commuting by Bike
Previously, I have written some tips for commuting by bike. However, any cyclist knows that these don’t really reflect the daily reality of cycling. So here is the “Real Guide to Commuting By Bike.” Never Let Anyone Overtake you. For the 2012 Olympics the individual pursuit was controversially dropped for some all round event called […]
Hardriders 31 Mile Race
Saturday afternoon was the Oxonian CC 31 Mile ‘Hardriders’ event. It is quite hilly, especially in the first half. There are also quite a few sharp corners. The road surface had taken a real battering from the harsh winter. I opted to not use a discwheel, and made sure I had a spare tub and […]
Obstacles on the Road
Spot the obstacles. Parked Car Road narrowing scheme with no space for cyclists to pass Traffic congestion Last Thursday, I cycled 70 miles to Chipping Norton. Often on these long rides, it is quite peaceful and there are no incidents ‘close shaves’ until the last mile home cycling up Cowley Road in Oxford in which […]
Carrying Things on A Bike Photos
The best thing I ever bought for my bike was a set of panniers and pannier bags. Before, I used to cycle everywhere with a rucksack, I used to carry quite a lot – books to work, shopping e.t.c When I got panniers, the pleasure of the daily commute increased alot. – Literally it was […]
Bad Driving Clampdown
I often see local police target cyclists for cycling without lights, driving on pavements, cycling through red lights e.t.c. All very laudable – especially cycling without lights. But, (with the odd exception) the 3,000 deaths are on British roads are not actually caused by bad cycling. It seems bad motoring practises go unpunished everyday. But, […]
Short Cycle Paths
Often Short cycle paths are the butt of jokes – see this ridiculous example. They look like they have been painted into the road in order to meet some imaginary government target for increasing the number of bike lanes. Often these bike lanes are so short, it is doubtful whether you could actually get a […]
World Harmony Run
Today, the World Harmony Run came through Oxford. Some of the runners were staying at my house last night so I went to take a few photos as they ran through Oxford. The Global Harmony Run will be completing 56,000 Kilometres during 2010 as it passes through over 100 countries. The European leg, started in […]
Riding No Hands
All Souls and Bikes Look No Hands Riding no hands is a good way to tell if your frame is wobbly. It’s actually easier to ride without hands if you are doing a decent speed. A bike is more stable at higher speeds than very slow speeds. Once you’ve mastered riding with no hands try […]
Old Men on Bikes
I hope when I’m an old man, (in roughly 65 years or so….) I hope that I won’t be a grumpy old man I’ll still be riding my bike. I will still be racing a bike. Many people who do time trials are ‘Vets’ – people over 40. In fact I know of many riders […]
Middlesex R.C. 10 Mile TT
Returning from Race This was a good weekend for cycling. Firstly, the temperature crept into double figures (10 degrees) in the first time for what seems like ages. Double digit temperatures mean racing in shorts, and the annual ritual of shaving the legs the night before. The course was shortened from 10 miles to about […]
