I’ve been away for a while. No - not “away” like Marty McFly’s uncle Joey - I mean just busy. Flat out full-on deadline-passing late and trying to catch up busy. Anyway, today I was riding in the rain through the excellent cycle facility that is Newcastle’s Percy Street, when I heard the loudest, strangest...

Here are two bicycle quotes attributed to Albert Einstein: “I thought of that while riding my bicycle” “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving“ Meanwhile, this graph from At War With The Motorist got me thinking of another quote from the great man: “Insanity: Doing the same...

Well done to everyone who entered last week’s contest. After planting evidence on our panel of judges, they’ve decided that the winner has to be Kim with, “Is this the queue for the canteen?” Though to be fair, Nathan’s suggestion that the police may be planning to infiltrate critical mass also deserves consideration.

The obvious winner was mikey2gorgeous, with “Sam-Cam using SRAM passes pavement parker in parka while...

I met this woman in Whitely Bay today: See that behind the double-buggy? It’s the obvious alternative to a buggy board. I’ve always puzzled about buggy boards, which leave the parent walking along stretched out like some demented time trial cyclist who wants to spend every spare minute practising “getting really aero”. Apparently it’s called a...

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...

Number fourteen in our series: An early spring evening and a bike with saddle springs: As I came out onto the sea front next to Beaches & Cream in Cullercoats, I saw this lady ride past. I caught her up a hundred yards or so down the road and complemented her on her bike… Sensible (I...
