...where I first met (among others) my lovely Wimpers :smooch:

I keep looking at my errand bike and thinking about how much it could be improved with grippier pedals and tyres and how all the plastic clashes with the steel frame ( which I love). And how much I dislike the fake rattan basket on the front, though I am not sure what I would replace it with (...

Any Chatters live near this new style roundabout.My mate told me last night they had scrapped it.I doubted that so early on.But it was closed at night for three nights as someone had knocked down a beacon. So what are the thoughts of local people.We had a new layout done near here,and moaning...

How sad. One accident and unfortunately two cyclists pronounced dead at the scene :sad: https://road.cc/content/news/two-cyclists-killed-bucks-crash-involving-vw-golf-car-273965

As above has anyone done this, and do you have a tried and trusted route, Organizing a club ride. all help appreciated.

Can anyone direct me to an LBS (Suffolk or Cambs) that can ? My winter project (rebuilding a delta recumbent trike) has me learning on the job - but there are some things I see I can't do at home. I've discovered my newly-threaded 1" forks for the 20" front wheel appear to be JIS crown...

I'm heading to Cambridge this coming week, 29 Jly - 5 Aug and wondered if any local 'bent riders would like to suggest some good routes. :okay: I certainly plan on going to Thetford :giggle: to visit D Tek but any other ride suggestions are welcome. :okay: It'll make a change from my usual...

Another new destination; Almost Dutch. From the Greens of Cambridge across Fenland, a vast watery landscape of rivers, peat beds and marshes. A short stretch of bridleway, followed by the only climb to The Ship of The Fens, Ely Cathedral at all of 26 metres above sea level. Onwards along...

After slumbering like a drunken student for a few years, 14th June sees the re-emergence of London to Cambridge. Setting off as usual at midnight from the Southbank, just by the BFI, this ride promises just under 70 miles of rolling road, with no gradient above 5%, and mainly downhill for the...

Where is good place to get full English breakfast on Saturday morning in Cambridge ?

Jannie and I are going to Cambridge for a non cycling weekend and are looking for things to do. We will visit the Old bicycle cafe and I will try and find some walks on RWGPS. There are mixed reviews about the Backs, from very good to a waste of time. Can someone elaborate.? A long walk, 10...

Thought some on here would like this;

The wonderful folks at Ben Hayward Cycles near Cambridge have decided to call it a day and will soon cease trading. They have given me superb service for some years now and I'm gutted they're closing. I hope very much the staff there will be quickly snapped up by other outfits (they certainly...

http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/cambridge-cyclists-quickest-country-its-12383140 snip: It should come as little shock in our two-wheeled city, but cyclists in Cambridgeshire are fast - it's official. According to data from Strava, an app and website that allows cyclists...

Off to Cambridge next week for a couple of days with Mrs T. We have been thinking of whether to change Mrs T's tourer. Can anyone suggest a cycle shop or two to look around in central Cambridge? Derek

And finally……………..the last official FNRttC of the year. Except the “C” doesn’t mean the coast, as we’re heading inland, for that mecca of cycling, Cambridge. But it’s still a FNRttC! We’ll be leaving Hyde Park Corner at midnight, heading for unknown territory through the badlands of...

Just a heads up if anyone uses the new A10 cycleway between Royston and Cambridge - Network Rail want to close the pedestrian crossing permanently. This means cyclist will have to cross the busy A10 twice to get across the railway and back onto the cycle route - a total disaster and a poke in...

Any one doing the Tour of Cambridge chrono tomorrow ?

Sad thing is the way the driver seems preoccupied with trying to point out that the cyclist did something wrong ................... http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/WATCH-Cyclist-crash-Cambridge-accident-blackspot/story-29186873-detail/story.html

Hi guys. I have signed up for this with my mate in June. Anyone do it last year if so any advice or views about it. Cheers guys

A nerdy sort of question: Am helping D1 choose a Bike to Work bike from Cycles uk. We saw and test rode a Whyte Cambridge Large (she is 5ft10/inside leg 32) she found it fine, and MUCH better than her current Spech MTB commuter Now, looking at the Whyte website, i see that the...

Yes folks, it's time for another unofficial night ride. Except this time it's not going to the coast although there is some water, and it's a bit before Christmas, and it ends in London. It is on a Friday night though and we do stop at an airport. In a change from the usual things I've done...
