Before we start, I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to last week’s caption contest. It was so good to see you all raising the tone of the debate. Sadly, there can be only one winner. This week our panel of judges decided that Dr C’s entry made us laugh hardest, as it was...

Congratulations to last the winner of last week’s caption contest - Tom correctly identified “Heinrich demonstrates how to pee on the move through his new sturmtek urine wicking tights“. Actually, that reminds me of a story I once heard . . .
Anyway, we’ll be sending Tom a pair of these excellent and stylish cycling...

Last week’s caption contest only had one entry (what’s the matter the rest of you - cat got your tongue?), so Kim’s entry wins by default. It would probably have won anyway, so we’ll be sending the Middleton siblings around just as soon as we’ve got them into the shipping crate.
The subject matter for...

You probably noticed that there was no caption contest last week - I was too busy watching TV, and waving a Union Jack to bother with such trivialities. Either that, or just taking advantage of the day off work to take Huge Dalmatian for a walk. Which do you think?
Anyway - before we look...

Well, last week’s competition drew some very insightful entries - it seems that everyone from the President of the AA himself, right down to a small monkey from somewhere in the vicinity of Manchester wanted to see the AA President tarred & feathered. Judging the winner was extremely difficult, but in the end our...

Congratulations to last week’s competition winner, Mr John The Monkey. With his revelations about government spending on special advisers to pie chefs, he wins the Shell Oils’ Sustainable Transport Prize of Nowt But Hot Air™ (and a warmer climate). So well done that simian!
For this week’s contest, we have a car-owner* who was recently photographed...

We had some great entries for last week’s caption contest. I wish you could all be winners, but alas, there can be only one. So after much deliberation, our panel of judges have decided that Tom’s entry (”Warning, signs thrown from bridge”) showed that local knowledge can often give you the edge on a...

This week’s competition features a photo I took last week. It’s a section of National Cycle Network Route 1, between Ashington and Blyth , that now features an attractive and cycle friendly sculpture, which leaves a massive 25% of the original cycle path still available for two-way cycle traffic:
The question for you is...

Ordinarily, I’d ask you to keep it clean. But this photo is just begging for some Carry On innuendo. Best caption this week wins your choice of either Kelly Brook or Boris Johnson for a night of unbridled passion.
In your dreams. Innit.

OK, so it’s Saturday and not Friday. Whatever.
This photo comes from what is definitely the strangest site I have ever found - Fuck Yeah, Bikes And Beards. Before you head over to check out the depths of the strangeness, I should point out that what looks like an ironic / joke homoerotic cyclist fetish...
