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...

At least learn the basics. On my ride today.....through semi rural areas..... I came across 2 lady cyclists. Stood at the entrance to a farm......looking perplexed and one of them on the phone. I did my good deed for the day and pulled in to see if they needed help Situation was.... 2 new...

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/...

Some you who remember my thread https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/driver-deliberately-hits-cyclist-in-colchester.228283/post-5090126 might be interested to know the driver of the Mondeo who deliberately knocked the cyclist off was jailed today at Ipswich Crown Court for 16 months...

(Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.) I've entered a duathlon the other day which is now less than two weeks away. It's only a very short one (5k run / 15k cycle / 5k run), and even though my newly acquired dadbod has meant my fitness isn't where it once was, I'm an experienced runner (7...

BBC article.. The picture tells the story. Looks like the classic hit from behind by a blind/distracted/sleeping driver. RIP cyclist.

Whats peoples views on different cars for transporting bike/bikes ( excluding bars or racks ) ? Had a Berlingo multispace for a few years which is most practical car ever but can't decide whether to have a change or not?

Snow by BoldonLad posted 30 Nov 2017 at 10:26 The snow has arrived. As much as I enjoy a ride out, think I will give it a miss today!

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...

One cyclist killed after a car hit a group of cyclists on A48 between Cardiff and Bridgend 0720 this morning.2 others in hospital. Driver has been charged with dangerous driving. This is the same stretch of road where a drunk driver hit Paralympian cyclist Simon Richardson and put him out of...

Due to I’ve heard something that surprised me a lot( or should I said shocked me a lot) here. So I really would like to know or hear some other voice on this topic. If you’re working as a police or a related government officer( such like Justice Dept., Interior Administration Dept. or...

I'm not a big fan of cyclist helmetcam videos but hadn't seen one like this before......... https://swd.media/news/north-east/aberdeen-donside/crazy-moment-idiot-biker-undertakes-car-overtaking-cyclist-1-11843/

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4955368/Aggressive-motorist-threatens-cyclist.html There have been a few videos of similar incidents posted in the past. The view that cyclists should always pull over to allow cars to pass seems quite widespread, and is expressed by the very aggressive...

Shocking news of a death on a local road that I have cycled many times. RIP :sad: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/live-updates-serious-crash-closes-13727400

In the wake of recent publicity re the death of pedestrian Kim Briggs, cyclists are getting a universal bashing on the discussion programme "Scotland's Talk-In" this morning. The usual predictive complaints re red light jumping, pavement cycling, not using cycle paths and lanes, and of course...

On a local Facebook group I made the point speed limits do not apply to cyclists (someone was moaning about cyclists going way over the speed limit). Someone else has come back pointing to rule 69 of the Highway Code Under 'Rules for cyclists' Rule 69 You MUST obey all traffic signs and...

Beautiful afternoon, just perfect for cycling and trying out my new "selle italia max flight gel flow" Cycling into the centre of Bristol, just up from Warmley station cyclist down! and being attended to. This is the third such incident I have seen in as many weeks...the first occurring at...

A cyclist has been charged following a fatal collision with a pedestrian. Details are scant, but it appears Charlie Alliston hit Kim Briggs as she used a pedestrian crossing in Old Street, central London. Ms Briggs died 'about a week later' in hospital. The charge 'causing bodily harm by...

I hate it. No matter how friendly the tone of the toot, it seems assertive if not aggressive. I only use my bell on bicycle** paths when I require action from pedestrians. If I am able to pass them with a wide berth, then I will do so without disturbing them, or maybe a nod or a "good...
