As soon as my delayed Easyjet flight landed in London around 1am and I got my very tired self home I remembered the post I had written last week. I asked all of you to send me in some birthday wishes. I was worried to check it because what if there was just 2 comments [...]

Getting naked for the London naked bike ride
by Andreas on 17. Jun, 2010 in Cycling in London
The prospect of cycling 7 miles around central London completely naked has never exactly been in my “100 things to do before I die” list. Nor, for that matter, has it ever featured in my nightmares. So I went along to this year’s London Naked Bike Ride with a completely open mind and unsure as [...]
Past 48 hours cycling in London
by Andreas on 23. Apr, 2010 in Cycling in London
Dave from Cycle Training UK shows me how I should be cycling around London for better safety and efficiency. Full write up next week with some amazing tips I learned. Cycling on the way back I came across the horrendous Oxford Circus roadworks currently taking place. Along the course of the roadworks is the tribute [...]
Cycling to a night out.. what do you do?
by Andreas on 20. Apr, 2010 in Cycling in London
In my group of friends, arriving at the pub on a bike is still seen as a novelty thing. Usually, when I sit down, I pull out my rear light from my back pocket and place it on the table. Much in the fashion I imagine a cowboy would draw his gun out of his [...]
Improvements to London Cyclist
by Andreas on 26. Mar, 2010 in Blogging
As you can see London Cyclist has a new theme. I would liken the transition to when you finally switch from that £150 bike your dad bought you from Halfords to the new £800 road bike you have always wanted! One of my favourite new improvements is the comment area. This now displays everyone’s Gravatar [...]
Overtaking other cyclists: Is it rude?
by Andreas on 09. Mar, 2010 in Cycling in London
When I overtake a fellow cyclist I often wonder what they are thinking. Are they thinking “What a jerk showing off?” or “I want to go that fast”. After averaging some pretty ludicrous distances while researching the London Cycle Routes eBook I have definitely become a much faster cyclist. I typically cycle a couple of [...]
New London Cyclist logo
by Andreas on 04. Mar, 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 [...]

Early next week I will be launching an eBook with 25 amazing cycling routes around London. I [...]
Poll: Should cyclists be given harsher fines?
by Andreas on 26. Jan, 2010 in Cycling in London
In this second of our London Cyclist week of polls I’m heading to a very hot topic of the moment. There was recently news about Westminster council raising the fines for cyclists to £100. Any cyclist therefore caught skipping red lights, on pavements or ignoring one way signs would receive a fairly harsh fine of [...]
