You may want to register the velodrome as an Asset of Community Value under the Localism Act 2011 just in case the council does decide to sell. This gives six months leeway whilst "the community" attempts to raise funds to buy it. Also tends to dissuade developers as it involves delay. See...

Not even in Copenhagen?

It's a British thing. Cycling is a sport, not a means of transport. It is a view promoted by govermments and various sporting bodies (CTC, Sport England etc) which is why we spend fortunes on velodromes and TdF starts and very little on segregate bike lanes. There was an interesting piece in...

A bargain for someone? RRP new is £1700 +

"OK, I've resigned from my job and I oficially finished today." Oh Lucky Man.

Due to typo in European Directive, motor vehicles will be restricted to narrow lanes painted at side of carriageway leaving majority of road free to cyclists. '

I often drive - and sometimes cycle - in a hat. It's not the hat that matters it's the head that's in it.

We are talking about bikes here - one of the simplest and most efficient machines ever devised. We have stuck an electric motor on it to make cycling a bit easier. Why do we need to complicate matters with dongles and factory reset routines? With cars, electronics have made them more efficient...

Drive with the radio turned high for a week. if that doesn't cure it, take it to a garage. Usually works for me.

B&M Cyclestar mirrors. Small glass but very stable for attaching to North Road / moustache/riser bars where you can't use bar ends. Being German they are a bit pricey, but you can buy spares, if needed.

Could we please have an in/out referendum asap? I believe that the majority will be to remain in. It would have the added benefits of splitting the Tory party in two, and sending Nigel Farage back to which ever lounge bar he formed his opinions in.

Almost 100% transport - 120 miles this week, but sometimes use too just for the pleasure. Also have an unpowered bike for leisure riding, trips to shops etc.

But also very windy. Great for milling, not so good for cycling.

Few years ago I bought a £20 mini pump. Could have done better just blowing into the valve. Now have a £2.50 Wilkinson full size, old fashioned pump, which just works, though for a full inflate i do use an elecric car pump.

Jim doesn't lower himself to rodents. He does however have a fan club amongst the local school kids who save their fish & meat sandwiches to feed to him. In addition to the three or four houses he dines in. If he is ever on TV, it'll be Rough Traders.

Yes, but can we discuss serious issues - like cat licensing. My neighbour`s cat contributes nothing to the maintenance of the streets he insists on lying in.

If someone wants a rugged, comfortable bike, this is it. Mine's done 16,000 miles in 4.5 years.

I don't think that this is the time for a debate on the existence or not of a god. Let us all salute the courage of Alan Henning, who, in a very practical way, was trying to improve the world just a little. And let us be vigilant against those who tell us that theirs is the only way, which...

183 euros!!!! Someone's coining it in.

Is it worth converting a scooter to 750/1000 W? By the time you've bought the motor etc, possibly upgraded the brakes, registered it with DVLA, insured it, bought a motor cycle helmet etc, wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a petrol scooter?
