• Happy birthday to me

  
  — Authority:
  I remember as kid dreaming about my birthday weeks in advance. What would I get, would it be cool, could it be a new bike? A new bike was the holy grail of birthday gifts and as I’ve gotten older things have changed. After 39 years a great birthday gift is a bottle of some great liquor or some vinyl from that new ...

• Tyne Pedestrian & Cycle Tunnel CLOSURE

  
  — Authority:
  I met the HR Manager for TT2 Ltd at an event I was presenting earlier this week - TT2 are the operators of the Tyne Tunnels. In discussion, he brought up something that’d quite passed me by - even though I’m a reasonably regular user of the  Tyne Pedestrian and Cycle Tunnels . The refurbishment of these, which ...

• Friday Caption Contest: Stunt Edition

  
  — Authority:
  First up, let’s look at the results for last week’s caption contest . The winner is of course Betty , who correctly identified that on high-end bikes like the Townsend pictured, almost everything is now seen as an optional add-on that you pay for. Having done so, she immediately spotted the problem with the ...

• I’ve Just Realised Why People Stare…

  
  — Authority:
  The funny thing about riding my Frankenbike bakfiets, Mary Shelley is the reactions it gets. Slack-jawed amazement from drivers, intense excitement from shall children (who shout things like, “What a totally amazing bike!”. No, really.), and incredulous hilarity from teenagers - but ONLY when they’re with ...

• It’s Health & Safety Gone Mad

  
  — Authority:
  Some people say that riding a brakeless, 4m tall bike, in a crowd, along busy streets, amongst other motorised traffic isn’t the sort of thing we should be encouraging. What’s worse, there’s no helmet and no hi-viz. This is an accident waiting to happen! Well I say to these Health And Safety Pen Pushers that ...

• Lots of People Ride Bikes In The Netherlands Because it’s FLAT!

  
  — Authority:
  That’s what people will tell you. And in some places it might be true. The trouble is that a flat country next to the sea will also tend to be windy: Give me hills instead of a headwind any day - at least with hills, you get a respite as you ride down the other side. A headwind in comparison is relentless, AND (in ...

• The Joy of Slicks*

  
  — Authority:
  I’m always puzzled whenever I see someone riding a so-called “mountain bike” along the street. These things are frequently supermarket models, with frames made from girders, useless & heavy suspension, brakes & gear components made from Kraft cheese, and they all seem to be fitted with super-knobbly ...

• Carspotting

  
  — Authority:
  You know where this comes from don’t you? That film of the book about the other addiction that makes a mess of people’s lives: Hat-tip to Andy in Germany for getting me started on this . There are two versions of the above (one is as shown here, and the other has been f**king cleaned up) on my Flickr stream ...

• Tips For Riding A Bike To Work

  
  — Authority:
  1. Think about your route. This applies if you’re a complete novice, or a rider with tens of thousands of road miles on your pedals. I regularly ride into the centre of Newcastle, and part of the route is on a fast, three lane road with the national speed limit of 60mph. Yet just yards from it is a shared-use path. ...

• Fixie Vs Reynolds Roadster

  
  — Authority:
  My mate Tom has been working on a Project. Basically he had a Very Sensible Dutch Bike (VSDB), but was frustrated at its lack of agility & the Grand Canyon-esque spacing of its three gears. So he hatched a plan to take a modern Reynolds 531 bike equipped with a Shimano 11 speed hub, disc brakes &c. and turn ...

• Putting A White Tail on The Pashley

  
  — Authority:
  In the early 1930s, there were over 7,000 road deaths a year. Yet this was an era which we now look back on as some sort of rural idyl when compared with today’s roads - they had just two and a half million cars (WARNING: Links to a Daily Mail article. But it’s actually quite good), while now there are over 34 ...
