I am keen to start cycling a bit more, and one option is to sometimes leave the bike at London Bridge and get the train home (if, for example, I’ve been on the shandies). There is a huge bike rack next to what I think is platform 7 (?) – it runs all the way along the side of it, and there are always n...

Walking back from the pub the other night a young man (I suspect late teen but he had a hoodie on and I couldn’t really tell as he sped away) cycled past me and slapped my bum as he went. Has anyone else experienced this? I was pretty outraged – although mostly because there was no one behind me who I co...

I am interested in having your views.. I really think that most of them just cater for sports cyclists not commuter cyclists or cyclists who just like to cycle for the hell of it. I am not interested in pages and pages of time trial events or ads on bikes, but like more on cycle law, campaigning, etc. Now t...
