Who can possibly want to go to school in a 4*4 when you could travel on this four seater?
I remember the first time I rode a proper racing bike. We were on a family holiday in France, and I was about 11. The whole family decided to hire bikes. They were a real ramshackle old mix, but, luckily I was found a good road bike, whilst my sisters and parents go lumbered with some 1930s, single speed with basket and iron panniers. Well cycling with the family was no fun, everyone else was so slow and my mother kept telling me to be careful at anything that looked like a fast downhill. Nevertheless I enjoyed riding up and down the roads showing off to my two sisters and parents on my super fast racer…

3 Cyclists with baskets on High Street
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.
Avoiding Pedestrians in road. Basket full.
Cycling Coffee
One shouldn’t really drink and cycle.
Low Sun Can Make it Difficult to See you
Look how dark this cyclist looks. Low winter sun can make it difficult for motorists to pick out cyclists.

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.

“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

A cycle path of sorts
There are quite a few cycle lanes in Oxford which I try to avoid if possible. An example, is the cycle path on Botley Road. Firstly it is on the pavement with a white line down the middle. This means there is risk of collision with pedestrians using the pavement. I tried cycling once and often got stuck behind people walking. I didn’t want to ask them to move, as there wasn’t really anyway for them to go and I felt the pavement was really for them.
However, the main thing I dislike about this cycle path is you have to negotiate about 15 side streets in the space of 1 mile. In theory, you have to give way to traffic turning. This involves stopping and make sure no traffic is turning into the road. It’s irritating to have to stop so frequently and it feels more unsafe.
Don’t forget to give way every 20 yards.
Checking for turning traffic

Properly Dressed
I don’t know what the Edwardians would have made of the modern triathlon outfit, with cut away shoulders e.t.c. Obviously, being properly dressed was considered more important than aerodynamics.

Bringing back bike from Cycle Repair shop. I often have this dilemma. How to take a bike to bike shop to get repaired without using car. Get the bus, or push a second bike along.
