Graeme Obree is one of the most colourful and intriguing characters in cycling. I was pleased to hear he has in mind another attempt at the world hour record. Although Graeme is 43, he doesn’t feel this is a reason not to make the attempt. “I don’t think that you’re physically hampered from winning at […]

Fast Ride Becomes Slow Ride
Sometimes I go out with the intention of having a fast training ride, but, when I start cycling I don’t feel like it, so it ends up being a slow ride. At least it gives you chance to admire the scenery and take the odd photo, like the one above. If you really don’t feel […]
How to Make Training Fun
I see cycling as a hobby more than anything. I race throughout the season, but, spend far more time training than racing. I don’t see training as a means to an end but often enjoy the training as much as the racing. If you spend 10-15 hours a week training it is important that you […]
Bike Trailers for Transporting Children Photos
I always get great joy to see children on bikes. In today’s society there is great fear of accidents and there is a desire to protect children in cotton wool. But, these carriers for Children are a very environmentally friendly way of transporting children to school. I wish more parents had the courage to transport […]
Riding Into The Wind
It’s been a tough wind for cycling this weekend. It’s been very windy. Yesterday was a 10 mile time trial. I used a disc wheel and deep section front wheel, which wasn’t a good idea given the wind. With a strong side wind the bike would get pushed out into the road a little. I […]

How I Started Cycling
When I was very young I had little interest in riding a bike, I preferred playing football or cricket. I was one of the few people who didn’t do the cycle proficiency test organised by my primary school. It wasn’t until I was about 14 that I got my first bike. My first bike was […]

Motorists often complain about the cost of petrol. But, Official figures, show that the cost of motoring has fallen by 13 per cent in real terms since 1997, while bus and coach fares have increased by 17 per cent above inflation. Rail fares have risen by 7 per cent extra above inflation. The recession is […]
Best Road Bikes 2009
I recently bought a new car, spending £5,000 on a 2nd hand Toyota Carolla (40,000 miles). This is the first time in my life I have a car worth more than my bikes. Hopefully the car will last several years, but after making such a big outlay on a car I want to redress the […]
