Live blog: Cracking video of Aussie guy's collection of 170 cycling jerseys, bike-share giant Ofo moves into FOUR more London boroughs + more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Does not compute! If you ride a lot you're going to be boiling your chain every week or every fortnight.

You're right--that was the other one. The relevance is that people keep complaining about how damaging the platform is, yet they carry on using it.

Women not using a particular public place is a sure sign that this place is perceived as unsafe. To such an extend this can serve as a metric to determine where improvement is most needed.
Absolutely. In North Surrey, women are at least as numerous as men walking on the footways; but men far outnumber women cycling on the roads.
I live near that road and cycle along it daily, ridiculously stupid place to try and overtake. he only has a few seconds between the traffic island he's just passed and the pedestrian crossing ahead. It was never going work. If he knew the road, he'd know a few seconds ahead it widens with room for a cycle lane (albeit just paint). Driver should be off the road, that was as close to killing someone as you'd ever want to see.
JHC, that really was close, and that lorry driver needs educating, if necessary with a baseball bat. Have the owners responded? Perhaps trucks that big don't belong on narrow city streets?
Glad to see Domino's filling in potholes, should last longer than whatever they're being filled with now.
