Remember that scene in Star Wars, where Luke, Ben and the droids go into the bar, only to be told, "Hey! We don’t serve their kind here - they’re droids!" Well how about this at McDonalds, which I found on Youtube this evening: You see, they wouldn’t serve someone on a bike at the drive-through...

I was thinking about the growth of traffic as I rode home last night. Chances are that if you’re over 40 (like me now!), you can remember riding in the ’70s. There were cars on the roads in those days, but nothing like the volume of traffic there is today. And I’m sure (with my...

You know when on the weather forecast, they say "sunshine and showers"? Turns out that they sometimes mean it. In a ride of just over 12 miles to see my first client today, I ended up changing clothes THREE times: Got ready to leave the house - raining hard, so I put on coat &...

Monday was windy. I mean really, properly windy - the sort of weather where if I were to listen carefully outside my front door, I’d probably hear people speaking Dutch; when a dog takes a pee against a lamp post in Groningen, there’s a strange tang in the air in Whitley Bay. Mountainous seas...

This via John The Monkey (that’s his real name. Probably): See? Don’t think you know what the other person is thinking until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. You can say what you want about them then, as you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes.

Daughter loves to ride her bike, and she’s also always been obsessed with dalmatians. So when I got her a new old bike (the second Raleigh Shopper in the house), it seemed a good idea to combine her two passions . . . It helps that one of my clients runs a print shop...

I’ll bet that they’re nothing like the ones this guy does: Note to self: If I ever find myself able to do stuff like that, I should stop right away. Then again, this might be just the sort of thing you’d love to be able to do, you can learn these skills from YouTube. n.b. I...

Love London’s Cyclists from ibikelondon on Vimeo . More of this sort of stuff at I Bike London . Actually, this has given me an idea for the ultimate bicycle protest - one that’d probably be far more effective than the circus that is critical mass. What if, on one widely publicised day, every cyclist in...
