By fixing one thing you can break another. Do the brakes unexpectedly come on? Will the car get rear ended for passing "too close" to a cyclist? Will drivers be dependant on them? The day a cyclists unit malfunctions or battery dies they have an accident? And false triggers or other issues. I...

Write to the local paper and tell them that you feel you are being pressured to ride unsafely by police despite the recent spate of cyclists deaths on uk roads, his boss will likely issue a statement to say sorry on his behalf.

Didn't know about these, added to the christmas list.

German cars are restricted to 155mph by german law. HGVs are restricted to 60mph by uk law. Mopeds are restricted to 30mph by uk law. Which laws would you like?

I have to be honest that unless your old bike has been well maintained and ticks all the boxes I would build onto a new bike(or build a new bike as part of the project). I dunno how agressive you had been cycling before but some of the powerful ebike kit will stress your bike, the wrong type of...

One of these? The picture isn't very clear but searching for adie brand bells gives promising images/items. Adie Chrome Bell | Evans Cycles

Not on the pc so can't link everything well but will edit later. A short video explaining some cycling dos and donts with kids(might help adults too). Considering I can count his age on my hands his cycling is better than lots...

I had an intresting discussion with my dad today as we drove around the elephant and castle in his car, he being a motorist didn't know that it has a cycle lane running around the outside roads that keeps cyclists out of the deadly mess. We also spotted around 15 cyclists ignoring the cycle...

I don't think I own a jacket that costs £100 let alone one that costs £100 just to have it cleaned.

I have cycled in Paris, the road layouts and cycle paths are just better as are the motorists and cyclists attitudes to transport, even the velib bikes are better than the boris bikes. They often have segregated paths for bikes and much wider roads, the reason for that is the huge 1 way systems...

Making roads safe to drive as the highway code expects them isn't on the agenda for most road planning in London. I can think of countless turns where it is expected of motorists to turn left from the middle lane across a bus lane if they wish to go left. Impossible to pass box junctions that...

I often hit 30mph and cruise along at 20mph for sections of my commute, I don't think speed is a factor at all when it comes to being in the blind spot of a truck or making an unexpected turn out into traffic or any of the other causes of crashes. My speed could add to injuries but the majority...

I dunno if this will help or not but avoid cotton tshirts, if you sweat(which most do a little) then that cools and works against everything. Whatever you wear under your waterproof make sure it has "wicking" qualities so lycra+polyester base layers aimed at cyclists or similar but without the...

I could give it a try. I ride about 100 miles a week, 6 miles each way for work(60 a week) and then another 40 or so to the shops/friends/about london on the weekends. Currently riding a single speed racer. Strava if you are interested in how hilly or how fast/slow and whatever. Chris T. |...

Usually a little before the clocks go back I would be lots more picky about my riding days and so avoid wet/rain/cold/ect as it was just easy/normal to get the bus/train. This year I got into cycling just about everywhere and have been learning lots about cycling gear for the winter, last weeks...

If the line is constant then it is supposed to be just for bikes, if the line is dashed/dotted then it is advisory and cars can pull into it if needed. It isn't enforced and drivers simply don't know so both are treated as optional. The colours are also optional as the only marking that are...

So many cycle alongside anything and everything. Today on my way home was cycling along, almost blinded by another cyclists top of the range catseye lights(asked what they are as they are awesome) then not long after we come up along traffic behind a big tesco truck and he takes the gap at which...

Be careful, he might get the house wine and complain it wasn't like the £1000 a glass stuff.

Not keen on reports on roads I have recently cycled. I know the junction well and can't think of any unusual features or dangers. I also have to admit I have a handful of responses to police for if ever I'm stopped, one I have had to explain was pulling onto the pavement as a siren was...
