ATC Mini Helmet Camera Review

By on 02/02/2012 in Cycling accessories

The bike salmon, shoaling and Bike Snob NYCs new book on cycling enlightenment

By on 21/01/2012 in Features

I’ve only ever met one “celebrity” in my life. The guy from Maroon 5. If I ever mention this to someone I normally shrug nonchalantly. However, if I met the author behind the popular Bike Snob NYC blog, things would be a little different. Embarrassingly different. You see, I’m a bit of a fan boy [...]

Cycling in Brighton

Cycling in Brighton

By on 10/01/2012 in Break out of London

Guest post by Chris Bean They call it London-on-Sea, so it definitely fits on this blog. Right? Good.

Cycling in Tokyo

By on 31/10/2011 in Break out of London

It’s 7 p.m. in Tokyo and we are making our way towards the neon lights of Shibuya. It’s a short walk to the metro station, but in just 60 seconds we encounter 17 cyclists. All are cycling on the pavement. It’s clear cycling is popular in Tokyo, but where are cyclists actually permitted? It seems [...]

Strasbourg: How they do it in a cycling city

By on 24/08/2011 in Features

When we reached Strasbourg, our end destination on our cycling tour along the Rhine, I wondered whether we had inexplicably slipped into a parallel universe. A place where bikes, not cars, rule the roost. Strasbourg is the dictionary definition of a pleasant town. Its city centre, Grande Île, which is surrounded by a canal, is [...]
