Commuter Diaries - bikes and buses

http://www.commuterpage.com/art/bikeonart.htm

This is a unique way of combining public transport and the bicycle.

Promoting peace, harmony and shared use

 It's always good to make the best use of your shared spaces. So if you've got a nice pedestrian bridge that's nice and wide, why not PUT A BLOODY GREAT BIG FENCE ACROSS ONE END SO EVERYONE HAS TO GET THROUGH A THREE FOOT GAP?

Honestly, what is the point of this? There were bollards there to stop cars anyway, it won't stop the motorbikes that cut through (which aren't a danger because they always seem to be careful and the path is the width of a road) and it'll just make conflicts where before there were none.

Not A Sportive #1

Number 1 in series of 100 mile road rides organised by a far-flung group of riding buddies and around where their disparate homes lie in Sussex, the Cotswolds, Chilterns and various spots in The North.

Each designed to be lumpy. With Cake.

The first round is a big clockwise loop taking in the South Downs and The Weald to celebrate the changing of the clocks and all the promise of the extended daylight hours to come that brings.

The Ride Journal

The second issue of The Ride, from avid cycling brothers Phillip and Andrew Diprose is a collection of sympathetically written journals from the cycling fraternity mated together with great illustrations and photography. What makes this a great book to own is that it is about the love for bicycles, cycling and how they become a significant part of our lives. There is no prejudice for what you ride, just a common love of riding. The Diprose brothers have put together another collectable edition that makes an inspiring bedtime read.

Lance Watch 3. You've got the wristband…

Now get the sneakers 

Oh, and as Prime Ministers and Presidents and hermits living in caves in the Outer Hebrides already know there's one less bike thief plying his evil trade in the world tonight - they got the guy who nicked Lance's bike, and the guy they reckon bought it .

Lance (again)

The last couple of days have seen more mud slinging in the sporting soap opera that is Lance Armstrong. I am desperately trying to sit on the fence and write an objective piece here, but it is becoming increasingly difficult not to pick a side as the arguments become more polarised.

Twitter: we made it to 200!

Actually, we made it to 200 twice: once when TiffanyMynx started following us but we weren't sure she was genuinely interested in cycling. you can judge for yourselves at http://twitter.com/TiffanyMynx. Thankfully not five minutes later the much more wholesome and interesting Alastair Mckinlay (http://twitter.com/amackinlay) stepped in to fill her shoes. Next stop 300, then the world...

Lance Watch 2. Get down on your knees…

 … and thank whatever god you pray to that you are not a celebrity and don't have to put up with people like Annie (second comment down) on the Celebrity Baby Blog talking rubbish about you, and your ex-girlfriend.

Before I barf I will just observe that that man Lance really does get everywhere.

Welcome back!

You may be amazed to hear this but I have been busy training recently. The Rutland sportive is less than a month away and I have been trying to ensure that I can sustain a reasonable pace over the 50 mile distance.

I have also been working on my own site (which I wont plug again on here) and deciding whether or not to form my own club for next season. Throw in loads of work and not much time for road.cc.

Hopefully things are calming down a bit now and we can get back to blogging about the key issues in cycle sport.
