@Rendel Harris ".....but the claim that wearing one is somehow to be accepting dangerous driving and poor infrastructure is silly." Not that silly. Demanding that cyclists wear a helmet is seen by many people as 'the answer' to cycling safety, so there's no need to put in infrastructure. The difference between infrastructure and helmets is that infrastructure works. Helmets are a distraction from what really works, and the more time we spend talking about them, the less time we spend on things that do work. Helmets should be consigned to the dustbin of history as a failed experiment, and we should cease even mentioning them.

@Mr Blackbird Hats off to George Hall My hat's not coming off- despite this touch of cycleway-washing, Hall still bears the Mark of Cain, until he repudiates his party altogether

Perhaps an article showing a) what is available in the uk as cargo bikes and) comments from real life scenarios from those already using bikes or cargo bikes as one gentleman has done in the comments. Perhaps road.cc could follow up with this. Even the MP said not every business should use cargo bikes but suggested a more nuanced approach suitable for certain trades or companies....

@mdavidford Clearly the end of the sentence got deleted by mistake and it's meant to finish "...devices in their pockets."

@Terry Hutt I don't support mandatory helmets either, but I always think that's a daft analogy (I realise you're not quoting it approvingly): if people shooting in the streets was a regular problem, I'd campaign against it vociferously and expect the authorities to do something about it, but I'd still wear body armour unless and until the problem was sorted out. It's perfectly reasonable for people to question the efficacy of cycle helmets, but the claim that wearing one is somehow to be accepting dangerous driving and poor infrastructure is silly.

“People who are wearing body armour get used to being shot at, when it’s the getting shot at that’s the problem.” People who are wearing body armour get used to being shot at because they survive. People not wearing it die the first time they are shot. So they don't really have much chance to get used to being shot at, do they? But seriously if you don't want to wear a helmet and you're an adult, no-one should have the right to make you wear one.

@lawrence18uk Occasionally I see tradies travelling with some tools on the train, compact tool bags, rucksacks and wheelie luggage, often carrying long spirit levels separately, but on a couple of occasions collapsible ladders.

Finally some proper Gravel for the UCI World Championships! …no dates in the article. Racing starts today 10/11 Oct. Watch it free on SBS. … Go well Matt…

@Aluminium can - as an alternative to vans, yes cargo bikes (plenty in Cambridge), and I've been wondering whether supplies could be delivered from retailers - using delivery robots. and it's possible I suppose that ladders could fall in the same category - you could, instead of just hiring a bicycle, hire a ladder and it would arrive of its own accord.

Which pro-tour team?
At this point, I think Sky – largely because they’re not tied to things that are done because they’ve always been done that way. (Brailsford’s interviews on the topic are interesting – switching the order of massages & meals, f’rinstance). If Sky didn’t have room, then Garmin as a second choice, largely because of the anti-doping stance, the Cervelos, and presence of Thor….

I know I gave away which team I would choose on the podcast, but I am going to keep my reasons to myself until the next episode.
FDJ is a good choice though, but I want to ask… new or old jersey ?

Not strictly ProTour, but who is Liz Hatch riding for now? I’d be part of her team simply cos I think it’d be fun in the showers afterwards.

JEEZ! Can anyone confirm whether or not the UCI’s 3:1 aero rule is enforced in situations such as these? I think I might get a pair fitted!

Goodness me. I have great respect for women cyclists! In the same way I give women tennis players equal respect as the men, I look at what the great women riders are achieving these days. Brilliant stuff! But some sportsmen and women choose to sell themselves on their ‘sizzle’ rather than their ‘substance’. Tennis has Maria Sharapova, cycling has Liz Hatch. I don’t think such reactions are anything to get too hung up about or take too seriously as an overall indicator of the acceptance of the sport.

it works both ways doesnt it – look at david beckham (if you must), not the best player in the world but he sold himself on his looks. It doesnt mean women dont take male sportspeople seriously.
