There is much dispute in the cycling community about the quality of German manufacturer SKS’ Race Blades. After my sister gave me some Wiggle vouchers for my birthday (thanks Sarah), I have now bought some and so thought I ought to chip in to the debate. First of all, for those not in the know, […]
Back in April I read this article in the Guardian and tore it out and left it on my bedside table for comment. Sorry for taking so long to getting round to it. About 4,000 years ago… Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up […]
I’ve had a few minor incidents on my commute to and from work, and a couple of falls off Fuzzy that were my own stupid fault and didn’t hurt anyone else. But I had my first crash involving someone else today. It was nothing major. I, on my bike, collided with a 10-ish-year-old girl, also […]

This is a silly thing. I think the BBC are quite good at reporting the news, but the other day I saw an piece on the telly that I thought was very poor and unfair. It was about how life expectancy is much higher in the south of England than in the north. My immediate […]
