#mycyclingweekend - Your cycling treasure - Cycling News | Bike Reviews

A bunch of road.cc-ers spent the weekend down at the Big Bike Bash bopping about on the hunt for treasure. Meanwhile the rest of us spent the weekend out searching for our own, and Cycle Surgery have been on hand to dish out a bit of their own booty too.

We’ll start with the Big Bike Bash, though, where a whole load of you zipped around the forest searching for clocks!

Instagram users hoggy1972, tamaralovely1, and hillatwang all appeared to have stunning days out searching for the illusive road.cc clocks with their families, while Twitter user Mike Davis also had a great time in the Big Bike Bash dark with his kids.

Happy Campers, Hunting for clocks. #mycyclingweekend #bigbikebash

Had a great (but slow) run on the #teamroadcc #treasurehunt @bigbikebash this morning. If a little bit soggy 🙂 the little bear loved looking for the clocks and did really well on her bike, no crashes!! For only 4 weeks off stabilisers she’s doing brilliantly #mycyclingweekend #bigbikebash #2016 #weekendfun #weekend #familytime #family #happy #mtb #teamawesome #proud #proudmummy

Team road.cc members Ian Upham, Elaine Curtin, and Stu Kerton all had a great time too, as you can see via their photos below:

The #mycyclingweekend fun wasn’t restricted to the Big Bike Bash, though. Loads of you went out this weekend and captured photos of your cycling treasures.

John Grenfell took his boy out for a bike ride and he appears to have put up quite a fight on the climbs!

John, you and your boy are this week’s #mycyclingweekend winners, send us your details and we’ll get the prize pump out to you as soon as we can!

John and his boy weren’t alone in searching out their cycling treasure. Instagram user saemundur looked for the chance to bring out his inner child, andy_in_tokyo too was looking for chances for laughter and pranks.

Johannes Helgas also looked to comedy for his #mycyclingweekend shot.

Cheddar Gorge shot looked class, so I checked it out on Strava. Turns out Daniel Lloyd is no.1 on the leaderboard! (ex-Cervelo, current GCN presenter).

I'll counter that by saying the Bryton 750se I have drives me nuts at times. Inconsistantly picks up on routes created on Komoot and the app re-syncs every few seconds when trying to set up the device and sends me back to the home screen. The most infuriating one is that I turned live track on. Once. It now won't turn off and repeatedly flags up the live track is starting, and then disconnecting every few seconds whilst riding. I haven't timed it but it wouldn't suprise me if 10-20% of the time the the screen is covered with an error message. That's been about 6 weeks now. Other than that it's great :/

@Paul J Van Schip certainly seems a bit of a dick, but he's a European and multiple World Champion on the track, pretty sure you don't get there without having some talent in your legs.

Poor Vincent cannot get over the simple fact that given the choice people prefer dedicated cycling spaces, rather than pretending to be cars like vehicular cyclists.

What is the point of the fancy air sensor if it can't account for changing weather conditions?? If all you care about is a delayed approximation of aerodynamic watts in steady conditions, you don't need any special sensors for that. Just your speed on a decently flat course is enough to approximate rolling resistance and drivetrain losses. And the rest must be aero. If you assume a less aero body position at the same watts, your speed will drop while rolling resistance also drops, which means approximated aero watts goes up. And that's enough to demonstrate what you've shown in your testing protocol ("I sat upright and the number went up a little while later").

Your correction is accurate - it's almost always been "the (lack of) thought that (doesn't) count". "Massive" - less than a billion a year spent on active travel (trying to catch up / building a network across the entire country) Not massive - 6 billion every year (2026-2030) spent on road *maintenance* of existing "already built, goes everywhere, very convenient" road network for inactive travel Ultimately the reason "cycle infra" is *needed* is those unbelievably colossal amounts spent every year (and for more than a century now) on making mass motoring not just viable but apparently the "best choice" for most journeys. As the Dutch and others have shown, the majority of people *are* prepared to cycle and even mix with very light, slow local motor traffic *if* cycling is also made safe and convenient for the whole of their journey (including secure parking at both ends). (The history of the financial drivers of the current situation are a complex topic but note that while people complain about "crumbling roads" and underfunded motor infra - with some reason - by us continuing the fuel duty escalator freeze (for example) we're actually helping motorists pay *even less* for that activity / subsidising more of the cost of driving than ever.)

yes, but people will still object - which was my point.

So ' Priority of Road Users' and 1.5 metre clearance at 30mph has been been reduced to 'sharing'? NCN route 2 here in South Hams is an absolute scream with white vans, tractors and total idiots who refuse,or are totally incapable,to reverse on high Devon banked lanes ...means you have to get off and pedal back to a passing place....could be at that all day...so I don't bother...

Mr Anderson 10 hours ago

@MaxiMinimalist Agreed. The big problem I see now is today's parents grew up being driven to their schools, and therefore, see private motor vehicles as the only viable form of transport. The vast majority of UK infant and primary schools have a catchment area that is within easy walking distance from home to school. Yet, the traffic caused by pupils being driven to/from school is astonishing. Banishing the "School Run" should be a priority for all schools.

When I was a kid (that was during the previous millenium when phones were connected to a plug in the wall), I rode my bicycle to school, music academy, sport grounds, parties even during the winter. The government didn't have to spend, correct that, didn't have to think of spending massive amounts of money to build cycling specific infrastructures. Over the past 3 or 4 decades, cars have grown bigger, taller, safer (for their drivers) and faster. Meanwhile, motorists have become abusive, aggressive, hypersensitive to people moving on two wheels, aka cyclists. Spending billions upon billions on new infrastructure won't address the crux of the matter. Sadly.
