There must be a word for the feeling of sadness, and relief, when bikes are sold. My stable of bikes down by 50% in past 3 weeks. They've both gone to excellent new homes and I will see them around. But .....bye bye old pals.

Brava for calling that out; I couldn't believe that in 2026 such twaddle could be written - and approved - by a local council. Ok they apologised but so disappointing. Look forward to the Freedom Ride - women, we still have much work to do ! lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo...

Even during the day, it's far from ideal as a cycling route. Too narrow, too busy, too dangerous. Canal paths should not form part of London's Strategic Cycling Network - not fit for purpose. In mainland Europe, however

What a great idea. Read a book a month in 2026. I will reread George Monbiot's Regenesis - a data dense but hugely informative read, well worth investing more time in.
