Rant
Just ring it
There really should be no confusion about how to use a bike bell…
A big blue anonymous cage
It’s one thing to install a secure public bike cage. But you’ve got to tell people about it as well.
What precisely is wrong with playing on the road?
It’s a sorry state of affairs when kids are hassled for playing in a quiet residential street.
Sad, angry and dangerous
Other than in a nightclub at 4am, where’s the only place that a lone young woman would be pointlessly aggressive toward four fit, burly blokes that she didn’t know? You guessed it: out on the roads.
Thoughts on winter bike commuting
I’m a year-round cycling commuter–it’s never really occurred to me not to ride in winter, and it’s easier and much more fun that you might think.
The repair that every cyclist should be able to do
If you’re going to ride, you really should be able to fix a flat tyre.
Make roads safe
I’ve been pondering the urgent and focused responses of governments and people to the outbreak of “Swine Flu”, and contrasting the handful of tragic deaths from H1N1 virus with the enormous number of equally tragic deaths due to road trauma. Where is the urgent response to this leading preventable cause of death?
A negligent lack of care
It seems road hazards are handled entirely differently, depending on whether they are in the bike lane or the car lane.
Where law and logic don’t mix
Make sure you have a front headlight on your bike–so that you are visible to drivers behind you.
Sharing the shared paths
Shared paths sometimes bring walkers and cyclists into conflict. But the answer to the problem is not installation of speed humps.
