April on London Cyclist
- TfL foolishly allowed me to test out the new London Cycle Hire Bike. I took a look at how its design makes it one of the most user friendly bikes around.
- Having changed my cycling technique completely after a 2 hour course from Cycle Training UK I decide it is only fair to pass on the tips to you.
- I also mentioned 10 London Cycling Events you shouldn’t be missing out on
- We talked about the logistics of cycling to a night out
- The Top 50 cycling blogs list was updated after over a year of neglect!
- The DHB Amberley waterproof cycling jacket was thoroughly reviewed
- From cycle training to maintenance training – it’s all covered on London Cyclist
Stuff I’ve been reading..

Next month on London Cyclist
It’s holiday time for this London Cyclist as I’m travelling to Argentina for a couple of weeks. I’ll be returning on May 17th. However, I’ve prepared 5 posts for you guys that will automatically be added to the blog. I’ll be covering ways to get around the no shower at work problem, a solution to London’s HGV issues and a couple more interesting posts. If I get some time and internet access while I’m out there I’ll let you know how I’m getting on – needless to say lots of cycling and wine drinking is planned!
Muchas Gracias!

You sure do get around, don’t you? Have a great trip to Argentina. Looks like some great posts coming up. Cheers.

Any cycling in Argentina? Have a good time! Here’s a nice tale your readers may be interested in which I spotted on a forum. The title says it all – “Man surprised to read about his own death on a cycling forum” – sometimes there is a happy ending! Enjoy your journey.
