Congestion on the Roads
I was cycling to work when I got nicely stuck behind a log jam of buses and lorries. It took ages to resolve so I had time to get my camera out Just to the left, there is a street called Queens Street. It is open to buses but closed to cyclists (from 10pm-6pm) Because […]
Veteran Racing
John Woodburn – great Vet racer. Today, I did a 10 mile TT organised by the Veteran Time Trial association. It was held on a local course at Cranbrook / Reading on the H10/10. I finished in 1st place out of 28 with a time of 22.11. Most of the other riders were vets (over […]
Waiting at Traffic Lights
A few random shots from people waiting at traffic lights. This looks like a family who all hired identical bikes from a bike shop. The guy with a tie, looked very relaxed waiting at the lights, but others can’t resist temptation to keep going. History of Traffic Lights Traffic lights were invented by William L […]
Trikes and Tricycles (photos)
From World Tricycle Championships in Belgium For those who might feel the Penny Farthing looks a little unstable, why not try a tricycle? In the UK and on the continent this particular branch of cycling has a few ardent followers. There are quite a few keen tricyclists I see competing in UK time trials. The […]

Penny Farthing Bikes and National Championship
If you fancy a real retro bike, you couldn’t do any better than try the iconic Penny Farthing. The Penny Farthing was actually a big leap forward in bike development as it enabled much faster speeds due to the size of the front wheel. True it may not be the safest bike ever developed, but, […]
Understanding Road Users
When I hear certain people (e.g. Jeremy Clarkson from BBC Top Gear) dismissively talk about cyclists. I often wish they could be made to spend 10 or 20 hours cycling around London. Many drivers have no empathy for a cyclists’ perspective and this is a big factor in causing bad / thoughtless driving. As a […]
