A few weeks ago I pulled up at a pedestrian crossing which was just going to red. The only person using it was a guy with a bike who cycled over to my side and then just cycled off down the road. He was ahead of the lights, but he wasn't a pedestrian going to the pavement on the other side. I...

The video in the article linked to below takes a little time to load (and is preceded by a short ad), but essentially it shows a cyclist appear suddenly from behind a parked van and zip straight across a supermarket slip road, where a motorist crashed into him. Hadn't a hope of avoiding the guy...

Out of interest, when you use a cycle lane, do you cycle like the guy in this shot from Google street view, against the traffic, or with it on the other side? I always cycle with the traffic - but am i wrong?

I've always opted for the continuous light, but went out for a swift 5 mile spin tonight to get a bit of fresh air, and noticed three other cyclists all sporting flashing rear lights. I suppose you could argue that the flashing light draws the motorist's attention more easily. But at the same...

While I was here updating my earlier thread, I thought it might be worth mentioning that I've had two "encounters" with e scooter riders in the last few months. These encounters were due to the e scooter rider not paying due care and attention on both occasions. The first was in a local off...

I've got to take my bike in to be looked at as there's clearly something not quite right with it, but thought I would ask on here as well, to see if anybody has any clue what it might be. Basically with every wheel revolution, the back wheel feels as though it's bumping on something. I've...

I'm quite interested in getting kitted out with one of these. Can anybody recommend a decent one? Thanks in advance.

...and is it true it shouldn't be used with Presta valves?..... Thanks in advance

Just been reading this article which is all about somebody who has two bikes half inched from his garage. One is an e bike. The insurers are paying for the non e bike and the damage to the garage door, but not the e bike, because it is motorised and therefore not covered. Apologies if I'm...

Does anybody attempt it? If so, how do you get on and how can you avoid going over? A few weeks ago my wheels went from under me while cornering slowly on a frosty patch of smooth ground. Hurt leg slightly, but fortunately nothing worse. Then a week or so back I tried cycling in the snow -...

Has anybody ever had cause to use this function? I did earlier tonight. I'm in a support bubble with a friend and her Mum. She had spent the afternoon with me at my house, and we decided to walk back to her house, which is about 2 miles away, and I'd take my bike, walk it to hers, and then...

Noticed that in quite a few towns now, sections of some main roads are being set aside for the exclusive use of cyclists, and I was just wondering what the more experienced cyclists on here thought about them. I'm personally not too sure. The lane is quite narrow, so I'd be worried about...

A colleague has recommended them to me, but I'm honestly not sure. There's such a massive choice out there, and I don't want to make a mistake. He's got a Juicy "ticket" apparently. Says it's great. I've had a look at their website but like any manufacturer they're always going to recommend...
