Speed cameras are good but like the one I can see from my window drivers know where they are and so speed upto them to slow down for the exact spots the camera watches and then speed away again, I'm unsure if that speeding down and up again contributes to accidents or not. I have to agree with...

Sadly I don't have a helmet cam to get some of the funny stuff I see on the roads. Anyway it seems with the recent accidents and cycle safety being a big thing some people are going way way way over the top and feel the need to shout at cyclists, mostly people who have no idea what they are...

I still don't understand the need to repeatedly cycle that route for some cyclists. If that was my route home from work then I would look up another route. Ones that come to mind are turning off at cambridge heath and going via roman road to head a bit north or out past limehouse to go a bit...

Pension is one of those words we used to have when I was a kid.

Have a look for something called a "fibre flare" not as good over distance but very good close up with wide viewing angles. Unsure how you would mount it but they have lots of options against the usual handlebar/seatpost width clamps.

What like bicycle repairman? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U01xasUtlvw

I have been busy today so everyone has run away with the idea that the car goes left but I'm really worried about these new cars that can go left without the front wheels turning left, I looked multiple times and can't see any movement in the front wheels to suggest the car is going left in the...

The original tyre you have is a wide/touring 700c that is 38c wide, the replacement is also a 700c but is only 25c wide. Different people have different opinions on what suits them but the more skinny looking track tyres are generally not as comfortable. Youtube has plenty of videos on putting...

Yeah make sure to spend £2 more and get the 3M tapes from ebay, the company above don't use the 3M stuff pros use.

Here is how tfl have explained them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QJKDyEVUss As a cyclist you MUST stop inside the box or else a £50 fine. As a motorist you should stop before the 1st line when approaching a red light but MUST stop before the 2nd line(in the box) if the light changes to...

Considering the wrap is usually £10-20 on ebay that seems crazy money. It goes by the name of helicopter wrap/tape usually.

Lots of red tape and statistics collected before they ever reshape a road, just as many proposed changes fail as those that happen. Some of the biggest cycle safe changes have been removing railings and making good the curb/pavement as they take them out. I remember watching the process outside...

I think you are missing the point. It's one thing to be forced into the curb/off the road by motorists, that's bad and not a cyclists fault BUT it's another thing to place yourself as a cyclist into the blind spot of a HGV. You can debate it to the end of the earth which is right or wrong but...

Ebikes direct in battersea maybe?

The tesco range springs to mind. Buy Electric Bikes from our Bikes & Accessories range - Tesco.com

Something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scFGfhVDvjU I personally would go for a similar macho wrap as in the video :cool:

Rider Down - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed Not seen that many topics in 1 day before.

I think tunnel vision describes it best. For some cyclists it doesn't register any difference passing a bus, truck or car, it's simply a mass of a certain size that they want to pass. I don't think headphones or anything have any effect on that, it's as simple as people who zone out a little on...

Here is part 1 of I think 6 by bikemanforu on V brakes, more practical than some of the others as he fixes dirty broken looking "real" bikes instead of fresh new looking things. Brake Noodle Install - Broken V Brake Part 1 - BikemanforU DIY Bike Repair Tutorial - YouTube Global cycling...

I'm a sensible rider too but emergency stops aren't always upto me. With a larger motor you could be getting yourself upto 30mph(I'm sure you can find some guy doing it on youtube) and stopping doesn't happen for a good few yards at that speed, in the rain and downhill even more than a few...
