Everything you want to know about cycling in London

Everything you want to know about cycling in London

By on 20/07/2010 in Blogging

Cast your mind back to the first day you started cycling in the city. Don’t worry this isn’t a therapy class where I now start to ask you “how did it make you feel?”. I’d charge for that kind of service and you’d probably want to demand your money back. If you started cycling 50 [...]

Question time with Boris Johnson at the cycle superhighway launch

By on 19/07/2010 in News

Today the Barclay’s Cycle Superhighways were launched at a big press and public event. TfL kindly invited me along and also promised me a couple of quick questions with the Mayor. Of course this was too good an offer to pass by so I went down after canvassing everyone on Twitter for questions to ask. [...]

Cycle superhighways – have you tried them?

Cycle superhighways – have you tried them?

By on 18/06/2010 in Cycling in London

Once again continuing London Cyclists “comment Friday” tradition (better names on a post-card please!) I want to hear some thoughts on the cycle superhighways. Vincent was kind enough to send me some pictures of the Cycle Superhighways along Narrow Street leading to Canary Wharf. This route has long been one I believe TfL need to [...]

By on 11/03/2010 in Routes

New London Cyclist logo

New London Cyclist logo

By on 04/03/2010 in Blogging

After many hours locked away in a dark, small room with no windows the designers came to me with their new logo design. They carefully unwrapped the cloth that had been placed around the document to conceal it’s top secret identity. The London Cyclist logo was there before my very eyes! And now here it [...]

By on 19/01/2010 in Routes

Those of you who follow me on Twitter will have seen today this blurry picture: I posted it because I wanted to see if everyone could guess correctly where it is. The picture is from Richmond Park and not a single person guessed incorrectly. I shouldn’t really have been surprised because Richmond Park is a [...]
