Found this on Adrian Finch’s Random Rambling blog, and he in turn found it on How to Avoid the Bummer Life, but it’s just so incredible, I have to have it here too. It features Neil Tunnicliffe doing some unbelievable hops and jumps on a bike. Watch the film to the end . . . […]

I know - Yoda would criticise me for not focusing on the present, but, well, I had this thought . . .
On Phil Sabin’s great Fitness Over Forty blog today, he was quite rightly celebrating hitting his January target of 300 bike miles. Well, waistloss left a comment, saying that he’d

I was going to cycle there . . . and then into tomorrow’s client’s office . . . and the into Newcastle for The Bridge Club (GREAT networking) . . . before heading home. But it’s forecast to be blowing 29mph tomorrow, and my legs are just about done in after this morning’s spin session. […]

Found this on YouTube . . . now if Apple used these characters in their Get A Mac ads, I’d definitely get one. Actually it’d be another one. But you know what I mean.

I liked Apple’s “Get a Mac” ads with the cool Mac, and the rather fusty PC. But it was all too American. The PC guy was just too faceless-business, and the Mac just too self-knowinly cool; he was also too good looking for his own good.
Now I’d just assumed that as US corporations think that […]

This is something I thought I’d grown out of - it’s a bit embarrassed actually.
After I left a comment on Sloan’s Cycling Blog just over a week ago about how I’d got over my ‘Yeeehah I’m IN-DES-TRUC-TABLE!” cycling phase about fifteen years ago . . . I nearly got myself mashed tonight through my […]

I’m a bit of an equipment geek - probably in the hope that I can buy my way out of a lack of ability . . .
I had to get some new shorts at the weekend, and went to my local sports / chav-chic super store. Next to the counter, they had a large display […]

I read a deeply alarming article on BikeForAll.net about Daniel Cadden, who was prosecuted for ‘Inconsiderate Cycling’. Basically, he had adopted an assertive position on the road, while going down hill, and cars overtaking him were crossing the double white lines down the middle. Rather than prosecuting the drivers, who for the sake of a […]

I passed this poster today, and was reminded that it’s now seven years since both my parents and my sister gave up smoking.
Well done to you all - I’m so proud of you!
This blog’s morphed into being all about fitness. But getting fit is just an exercise in changing what you do with your body […]
