You may have gathered that I got a new bike.
It’s a Pashley Roadster Sovereign.
That’s not a photo of my actual bike, but one just like it. I’m waiting for a decent sunrise over the sea to take my own photos and scoop the EcoVelo photograph prize. After much agonising, I’ve gone with my first...

I killed Wilf. Through neglect, lack of understanding, and over-use. But mainly through not knowing how to use a steel ruler to measure the chain.
OK, I’m exaggerating a little. But the cost of the components to restore Wilf to health would have been about 75% of the cost of buying an identical brand new...

OK, so say we’d set out to make it safe for every child of nine years and older to cycle to school unaccompanied. What sort of measures could we put in place to ensure that the public money spent on this project was being well spent?
Ian Walker points out that the easy measure apparently...

Yesterday I asked my fellow would-be BikeAbility instructors if they used cycle paths or roads. Not surprisingly (as we’re going to be teaching others how to ride on roads), all eight of them said they rode on the road.
So then I asked them which they would prefer to ride on.
Every single one of them...

I’ve never taken part in a critical mass event. Heck, I’ve never even seen one first hand, so what I’m about to say could just be me talking out of my backside.
I have a bit of a problem with the idea of critical mass. The anarchist within me says, “Yeah! Right on! Let’s really...

. . . not even once. And he’s had lots of opportunities.
Thanks to Cycling in 4×4 Country for bringing my attention to this!
I wonder if Mrs Algernond, or Goddess Anders can provide translation? I don’t think it’s strictly necessary though!

There was an interesting question raised on the Commute By bike blog yesterday, as to why the world at large seems to view cyclists as “Kooks, Freaks and Weirdos”. Basically in societies where the car has usurped the bicycle as the mode of transport of choice about town, people riding bikes are very much...
