Recently, I’ve been having some bad experiences with getting punctures. I don’t often puncture, but, when I do something else goes wrong. Last week I was out on a ride, when I punctured. I got out a brand new spare inner tube – and that was punctured already. I got out my second spare inner […]
Cycling NYC
Cycling around New York was pretty testing. But, even so there seem to be quite a few cyclist who braved the conditions of Manhatten. American drivers are not noted for their patience towards cyclists and pedestrians. And from what I have picked up, New York cyclists feel under siege to some extent. Not helped by […]
Improving Safety of Cycling
Many people, especially women, site safety as the biggest issue which puts them off cycling. To some extent our safety cycling is at the mercy of other road users. Of course, there is always a hope the standard of driving will improve; e.g. government policies may make a difference. But, there’s not really much we […]
Student 10 Mile TT Championship
At the start Saturday was my first 10 mile time trial of the year. I did 21.41. Which is OK for first 10, but, my knee is sore today which always gives any cyclist a real sinking feeling. There was a big field of 120 mostly students, who were competing in the BUSA 10 Mile […]
Urban Cycling Skills Video
Really great video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill video taken by Dave Sowerby. I never knew some of these things could be done on a bike. Very impressive!
Stretching for Cycling
I’m very bad at doing stretching exercises. Maybe it’s because I remember reading a book by a cyclist who said stretching wasn’t necessary. However, during a week off cycling, I had a painful experience. During the tight, I woke up with my calf muscle suddenly tightening, it was very painful for a moment. Then for […]
A Week off the Bike
Testing ice cream by Lake Garda, Italy. Being in NY was not easy for cycling, The weather was cold and I got a cold – either from the weather of the plane’s air conditioning system on the way back. The result is after a good March I’ve had over a week off the bike. It […]
New Safety Measures for Roads
The speed limit on many A-roads will be reduced to 50mph under plans aimed at cutting the number of road deaths by a third. Drivers also face limits of 20mph in residential zones. These could be enforced by average speed cameras. Average speed cameras seem more effective than ordinary speed cameras. You notice this when […]
On Holiday
I’m currently on holiday in New York. It’s tough cycling round here. You have to get used to getting beeped by cars just for being in the road. Potholes are worse than England and there are not that many cyclists braving the streets of Queens, New York. I’m trying to keep up with some kind […]
Cycling in Italy (photos)
Last weekend I was in Lake Garda, Italy for a few days. Now I am travelling to New York, so my posting schedule may be disrupted. These are some photos from Italy. You can feel it is a county which likes cycling. I asked my non cycling host about cycling and he said the proper […]
