A good idea, there Bryony.

17/08/2010 I'm not going to gloat but I did think about this a few years back, but Bryony was first to put it on paper so to speak. Make full Bikeability cycle training compulsory before anyone can pass their driving test. It would need to be current, like the drivers’ theory test, which must be passed up to 3 years before the licence can be granted, so a school playground session aged ... read more ...

Velo-City and Streetfilms

17/07/2010 I totally forgot and missed out on something great. As you can see on this StreetFilms film from Velo-City 2010 in Copenhagen, see below. This film is Copenhagen seen through North American eyes, as they say it took a long time in CPH to get there but they did. And we (yes even London) can do it but we do not have 30-40 years to get to the same place ... read more ...

Sleeping police men

14/07/2010 Is it just me that is annoyed by the the so called sleeping police men, that are scattered all around our fine city to calm down the traffic. 1/ They do invite you as a cyclist to move into the door zone. Please don't as when you do so you invite other road users to over take you. Not a safe or comfortable place to be, squeezed in between a parked ... read more ...

Children should be encouraged to ride to school

08/07/2010 You must have read the article about the family in south London who, shockingly, let their children cycle to school. Good on them, I say. Now Sustrans says that children should be encouraged to ride to school not prohibited, which is also something I totally agree with. Half of all children want to cycle to school but just two per cent do. A third of children are now driven to ... read more ...

But for the life of you, you can't drive behind a cyclist. You just HAVE to get past that cyclist in front of you, when ... 1/ they are doing more than 10/15 or even 20mph, quite often ... read more ...

SillyCyclist XIII

10/05/2010 Hooooly sssshhhittt .... Click here to see this little clip http://www.youtube.com/ - CyclingMikey's Channel Sorry for the strong words here, but how the f@&k can you be this stupid. Nearly hurt herself and another fellow cyclist and just jumped off the bicycle and carried on like you had planned it all along, without any care at all. I was crossing a side road on my way to get some fish and chips tonight. ... read more ...
