The last part of my commute is through a city, there's a delightful part where the bus/ bike lane ends and all the queuing traffic just merge across to the left. I always anticipate this well in advance and filter through a gap to the outside of the traffic, yesterday I completely stuffed it...

I'm looking at options for my next bike and contemplating whether there's a good enough reason to go for Di2 (if it can be done within a reasonable budget). The Merlin Cordite is currently £1500 with Di2 so the direction of travel price wise, certainly on that older 6800 groupset, looks...

Hello all. This may be a bit of a long shot but I'm keen to find out whether the victim of the crime in the thread title is on CC. I think the incident may have happened in or around Croydon on the morning or afternoon of Saturday 10th March. Ta

I see this former city trader and cyclist managed to commit 130 burglaries while getting about Hampshire on his bicycle, always leaving his victims homes neat and tidy. What a chap. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/03/01/gentleman-thief-carried-100-burglaries-mostly-bicycle-leaving/...

I`m walking back home from picking up a few bits for tea tonight, and I bumped into one of my neighbours who had been walking her dog, "SO", she said "just tell me, now that you don`t have a car and it`s bitterly cold how you plan to get to work tomorrow?" My answer "the same way as I always...

I didn't post about this yesterday as i've been analysing it since it happened,wondering if it was worth mentioning on here. I've decided to share my experience,probably in the hope that mentioning it to fellow cyclists will let me get it off my chest. Yesterday as me and a friend i were leaving...

FWIW I have been following Stephen Peel's perambulations when I've had little to do(and really should be doing better things). His Roholff hub seems to be playing up...or something's gone wrong. Sheesh. I thought these were tried,tested,gold standard. Shome mistake on this one,perhaps. A lemon...
