Cycle lane alongside a road where the cyclist has to give way to *every* side road, whereas those using the road get to just keep going
"We spent millions on a beautiful cycle lane - why do they insist on ignoring it and cycling in the road anyway?"

I've made it! Only 30 mins behind, which is good going seeing as it was a slow start and I was 2 hrs behind when I got on the ferry at Rock #transkernow25 #TK2025 #bikepacking #ukcyclechat

TFW your puncture prevention game is so strong that you have to resort to extreme measures to get the tyre down...

Soooooo, I guess Iβll keep getting a new βyearly totalβ in Strava, every time I complete a ride until the end of the year?! πππππ #cycling #cyclist #cyclists #roadbike #cyclingtips #cyclinglife #Instacycling #roadcycling #roadcyclist #stravacycling #ukcyclechat #ukcycling #Cyclingphotography
My riding partner thinks 18F (-7.7C) with 18mph (28.9kph) winds is a wee bit too cold to ride? Thoughts???

Well that was a cold cycle commute this morning. Freezing cold rain turning to freezing cold sleet. And I had mitts on. I think it's time time to dig out the full finger gloves.

I'm not against e-bikes, indeed I'm pro- anything that encourages cycling. But it's becoming increasingly galling to see how many people are now "cycling" - even uphill - without even turning the pedals!

It's getting dark out earlier - be sure to add a bright coat of paint to your vehicle
Please keep an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians!!

There are many schools of cycle maintenance, but the one I keep coming back to is based quite simply on the twin principles of "Does it move?/Should it?"

Road with loose chippings everywhere
I love my children dearly, but on the way to school this morning my 6yo announced that he thought "surface dressing" was a great way to repair roads, and I'm not sure if I can bring myself to pick him up this evening.
