A Christmas Break
There’s never a good time to get a cold. But, to be honest, I was rather glad to have a good excuse to not go cycling in past two weeks. I was spending Christmas with family in Yorkshire, and the roads were pretty bad. Anyway, a two week break is no bad thing at this […]
Cycling In Sub Zero Temperatures.
Usually when the temperature dips below 0, I take it as a good excuse to have a rest. But, looking at this weeks long range forecast, this would have entailed a long layoff. Usually, it is January and February which are the coldest months so it’s bad news when it’s already this cold in December. […]
Cycling Baskets Photos
Cycling into Town. Baskets are popular in Oxford. Can’t say I’ve ever fancied them. I’ve always thought for steering its better to have weight on panniers on back wheel. Anyway they do look good. One shouldn’t really drink and cycle. Look how dark this cyclist looks. Low winter sun can make it difficult for motorists […]
Staying Motivated In Winter

In addition to the usual difficulties of cycling on British roads we have to cope with the additional challenges of the weather. These are some of the best ways to stay motivated in Winter Flexible Training It’s bad training […]
Eco Velo
The Joy of Three Another blog, I’d like to feature this week is ecovelo.info. It’s run by Alan and Michael who are hoping to make a contribution to a better environment by promoting the bike as a primary means of transport. There’s some great photos which put cycling in a very positive light. The long […]
Cycling 100 Miles
After a gap of over 2 years, I finally managed a 100 mile cycle ride. It took 5 hrs 20 mins. It was fairly quick until the last 10 miles home into a headwind, which felt very sluggish. The first 40 miles I cycled towards Cirencester on fairly flat roads. Probably the highlight was taking […]
Good Habits / Bad Habits Cycling
Clean the Bike There is a law about cleaning your bike. Either you do it the moment you get in the house, or you leave it for later. If you leave it for later, of course, you never do. That is until the middle of January when the bike is so covered in layers of […]
The Smallest Cycle Lane
Photo by Phil D, flickr I’ve seen some crazy cycle lanes in my time, but, this might have record of shortest bike lane. Not much use for a tandem…. This cycle lane may be longer, but, it is cunningly disguised as a wildlife nature reserve (outside Oxford)
Bike as Art
Just wanted to feature an excellent blog I came across. Lovely Bicycle.blogspot has some great photos of bike culture and vintage bikes. “Entirely frivolous and self-indulgent, this weblog has no agenda. I just think that cycling is cool and that bicycles are beautiful.” I love the blog’s mission statement By River Sunset Thanks to lovely.bicycle […]
