At 250Km the Olympic road race will be one of most interesting events on the Olympic calender. The standout favourite is Mark Cavendish. If the peleton finishes in a bunch sprint on the Mall, it would be hard to bet against Mark Cavendish. The box hill circuit 9* 15Km circuits include a substantial amount of […]
Worn Chain Rings and Worn Cassettes
How to spot when your chain, chainrings and cassettes need changing. It’s easy to take the approach to bike maintenance of riding the bike until it doesn’t work (in this case, chain starts slipping). Then try and fix it yourself or take to shop. For my commuting bike, this is often my attitude. I often […]
Cycling and Health Issues
Comment from Cycling and health ‘that’s a powerful argument for more cycling priority coming into transport policy. So why is it so hard to get authorities to take it seriously? I think health is primarily an individual issue. You have to be responsible for the health of your body – whatever government policy dictates. However, […]
Eastpak Kruizer Velow Messenger Bag Review
A review of the Eastpak Kruiser Messenger Bag. Usually, when commuting I use panniers. I don’t like cycling for long distances with a messenger bag. But, despite preferring panniers, I do often end up using a bag like this. So I was happy to test for the past few weeks. It fits around the body […]
Tributes to Bradley Wiggins
I hope our French, Australian, Italian, Dutch readers will forgive this little post tour indulgence in Wiggins mania. I promise it won’t last much longer, though if Cavendish wins the Olympic road race… Bradley Wiggins on the podium. Bradley Wiggins.

UK Cycling Becomes Mainstream
Yesterday, was a record day for numbers of visits to cyclinginfo.co.uk. The most popular keyword was not (as you might imagine) ‘Bradley Wiggins‘. No Bradley Wiggins was trumped by the even more popular keyword of ‘donkeys in the tour de France.’ 3,000 Km across the Alps, Pyrenees, and most of France – epic duels in […]

Bradley Wiggins wins Tour de France 2012
As Bradley Wiggins was interviewed by the Champs Elysees after finally wining the great race, Ned Boulting commentated that Wiggins and his Team have set so many historical precedents in the past few week, he must be running out of suitable quotes. But, though Wiggins may be sometimes short with journalists, he never seems short […]
A Float Day for Time Trials
Saturday involved two quite different time trials for me. First up was watching Bradley Wiggins power his way around Chartres, south of France; averaging 50 Kmph for the 53Km course; it was a show of power and convincingly demonstrated why Wiggins was a deserving wearer of the yellow jersey. It was a fitting finale to […]
