It is hardly a top-of-the-range e-bike, but it does the job all the same…we are just grateful his brakes work. This man from Plains in Airdrie went for a spin with a little extra help from the paramotor-style propeller strapped to his back, getting up to a sharp top speed pretty quickly…in the air, paramotors can get paragliders up to 60mph.
It is at this point, the hysterical cameraman chuckles the fantastically Scottish line: “Oh no way. That c***s no right. No f****g way man.”
The video has been viewed more than 200,000 times on Twitter, where Conor McCue concluded, “Scotland is f****n’ unreal.” Poetic.
Dan commented: “This is definitely what I’m up against on Strava segments.”
Dean wrote: “One wheelie and he’s on his own flight to Turkey.”
Last week a cyclist was fined after fitting a petrol engine to his bike to help him ride up steep hills. Lee Middleton admitted to using a motor vehicle without insurance, driving a vehicle without a licence and riding a motorcycle on a road without protective headgear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court. No word yet on what punishment a paramotor strapped to your back gets you.

Science in Sport renews partnership with Ineos Grenadiers
As the Giro d’Italia kicked off over the weekend, Science in Sport renewed its partnership with Ineos Grenadiers to provide all their nutritional needs out on the road for the next three years. SiS says it is proud to have contributed to seven Grand Tour victories during the previous six years, including Chris Froome’s 2018 Giro success which was fuelled in part by the now widely available Beta Fuel.
“Nutrition is a vital part of elite sport and in SiS we have a partner who share our ethos of continual innovation,” Sir Dave Brailsford said. “Together, we’ve been using world-leading science to deliver a performance-first approach and build upon a 5 year relationship that has seen cutting-edge products fuel our team to win the biggest races in the sport. We’re looking forward to achieving even more with SiS in the future.”
Search for Canberra cyclist who saved three-year-old boy from Lake Burley Griffin
The family of a toddler rescued from Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin has asked for the hero cyclist who dived in after their boy to come forward so they can thank him properly. ABC reports that Ellie Carey was walking with her son, Miles, when he scooted into the lake. A passing cyclist dived in after the boy, pulled him out, checked Miles was alright and then quietly continued his journey. With no name or contact details, the mother is now hoping to find the cyclist and thank him.
“The man was cycling towards us with a friend so he would have seen the whole thing unfold,” she explained. “He didn’t even hesitate. He jumped off the bike, ripped off his backpack and leapt straight in. It’s about a metre drop down into the lake, so someone helped pull Miles out and then a few of us helped the man out.
“He stood there for a little while and asked me a few times if Miles was okay and I think I said ‘thank you so much’ at least four times. I was trying to rip everything off Miles because he was frozen, and then the cyclist just quietly left.”

Sam Bennett to leave Deceuninck-Quick-Step at the end of the season, according to team boss Patrick Lefevere
Sam Bennett may be leaving Deceuninck-Quick-Step at the end of the season if team boss Patrick Lefevere’s comments over the weekend are to be believed. Lefevere told Het Nieuwsblad that although Bennett does not want to leave, the team cannot afford to pay him big money.
“He doesn’t want to leave, but I don’t have as much money as others,” Lefevere said. “The fact that these types of riders leave is life. As pros they have to try to make as much money as possible in a short period of time. I have already warned some of them. Talk to the sprinters who left us, they would come back on foot. They should not opt for the quick money, but rather look at what might be in their bank account at the end of their career.”
Bennett is one of the many Quick-Step riders without a contract confirmed for next season. Lefevere has prioritised extending his star riders’ deals with Julian Alaphilippe, Remco Evenepoel and Kasper Asgreen the only three to have signed new contracts for 2022.
Family pens open letter to council over bike shed planning breach
Kavi Pujara got in touch sharing this open letter that his family has written to Leicester City Council. Last week, the family was told to remove its homemade eco bike shed from the front garden as it does not fit in with the Victorian character of the area. The family has since received 382 comments of support in the council’s planning portal, with many pointing out that parked cars and converting gardens to driveways is not very ‘Victorian’ either. Here’s the letter in full…
Dear Peter Soulsby and Leicester City Council,
I am writing to you in regard to the ongoing dispute over our cycle shed and to ask for your careful consideration in this matter.
As of last count we have 382 comments of support on the planning portal and one against. This is a clear message that the people of Leicester and the greater cycling community beyond do not consider our bike shed an eyesore that is disrupting the traditional Victorian context and character of the street. Rather, it is a sensitive eco-friendly solution to a real problem. There are cars parked on every driveway and available curb space on our street. So it seems absurd that these large, modern vehicles are not considered to be disrupting the character of the area, yet our little wooden bike shed is.
In 10 days the public consultation on our shed will close and your planning department will make a decision. In all likelihood it will deny us planning because the Town and Country Planning order states that structures like this cannot be located to the front of a property, and because we live in a conservation area we don’t have permitted development rights. But enforcement of these orders are a matter of the council’s judgement and ultimately you will decide if that enforcement is in the public interest.
Before you decide, we would warmly like to invite you to come over and see the shed for yourself. Come and see how visible it is from the street. Come and see how effortless it is for our kids to walk out of the front door, get their bikes independently, and cycle to school. Come and see how they will no longer be able to cycle should the bike shed be removed.
Leicester declared a climate emergency in 2019 and it has an ambitious and admirable transport strategy with cycling at the heart of it. You have built cycle lanes all over the city. We applaud you and everyone in the council for this – it is fantastic. But if we are forced to remove our cycle storage, it begs the question: Who is this multi-million pound cycling infrastructure development really for?
Is it only for those people fortunate enough to have a garage where they can store their bikes? What about those who live in flats? Or those who do not want, or are not able, to bring muddy bikes in through their homes? How can we support your progressive strategy if it excludes so many of us?
I put it to you that your permitted development planning policies are now inconsistent with your environmental aims. These polices need to be updated to encourage cycling and to include all cyclists. You have the opportunity here to extend permitted development to include bike sheds. I believe Leicester City Council has the imagination to find an innovative solution to make this happen, and to be flexible where other councils have been inflexible. It’s the opportunity to set a precedent.
Please don’t let us down.

Some quick maths (hopefully all accurate): 72 Grand Tours x 21 stages = 1,512 stages…Let’s be conservative and say each Grand Tour means 25 days on the road (21 stages, two rest days, a couple for travel)…25 days x 72 Grand Tours = 1,800 days on the road. That is nearly five years of your life at Grand Tours…
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Ed Clancy one of six 'Founding Riders' competing at UCI Track Champions League
Ed Clancy is one of the first six riders to be announced for the UCI’s new track competition, the UCI Track Champions League. The inaugural event will be staged in November after the World Championships and will involve male and female riders in the sprint and endurance categories battling it out across six back-to-back rounds of competition.
As a founding rider, Clancy’s progress will be followed by Eurosport and GCN, two of the broadcasters of the event. I am sure we will find out more of what this will involve as the event gets closer, but for now we know Clancy will be on the startline. Emma Hinze, Harrie Lavreysen, Mathilde Gros, Sebastián Mora and Simona Krupeckaitė are the other five ‘Founding Riders’.
What would it look like if we built roads the same way we built cycle lanes?
New research from University of Wisconsin-Madison confirms cycling can positively impact global health and climate crises
New research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in partnership with Trek Bicycles showed that cycling can positively impact the global health and climate crises. The newly released paper showed that replacing car journeys with cycling or walking is one of the most effective ways of improving human health and mitigating climate change.
The research found that in US metropolitan areas, less than one per cent of journeys are made by bicycle, compared to the 40 per cent of journeys made by bike in Amsterdam. If American cities were to reach that 40 per cent level then approximately 70,000 deaths due to chronic diseases related to sedentary lifestyle could be averted each year.
“The benefit of being a bike company is that we make a product that can make a positive impact on the world,” said Eric Bjorling of Trek Bicycles. “Riding a bike is not only fun but has enormous physical health benefits and can offset carbon emissions when you replace a car trip with a bike trip. It’s always been our mission to get more people on bikes, especially since riding is climate action and it’s an easy, low-impact way to stay physically active.”

We have been blown away by the fan-related puns rolling in since this morning’s video went up on the blog…a strong start from Captain Badger who is “not really a big fan to be honest.” PRSboy quickly followed up with: “he deserves props for his ingenuity, even though as an idea it’ll never take off.”
Some more general comments on our Scottish cyclist now…IanMK was glad to see him wearing Hi-Viz, but thought a helmet might help. Each to their own, I guess.
On a more serious note, Nature’s Eye was not impressed: “And so we all get tarred with the same brush as this clown! Good job…paint us in a great light this does!!! This guy is not a cyclist…well not a real one anyway.”

Taco van der Hoorn wins stage three of the Giro d'Italia from the breakaway
#Giro104 🇮🇹
HE’S DONE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/0Av8B2HdKu
— Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert (@IntermarcheWG) May 10, 2021
Dutch rider Taco van der Hoorn earned the biggest win of his career, holding firm against the surging peloton to win by four seconds in Canale. The Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert rider making his Grand Tour debut was part of the day’s breakaway and attacked the final escapee standing, Simon Pellaud, with 8km to go.
Despite the desperate efforts of Cofidis and UAE Team Emirates, Van der Hoorn rolled over the line seconds before Davide Cimolai won the sprint for second. Peter Sagan, whose Bora-hansgrohe team did most of the early work, was third with Elia Viviani fourth.
Filippo Ganna keeps the maglia rosa, which means Tobias Foss will become the interim white jersey wearer in place of his teammate Edoardo Affini who slipped out the back of the peloton during the toughest climbing section of the stage.

@chrisonabike Unfortunately, I think you're disputing with a Very Small Language Model A Low I Pro-Driving Fictitious Cyclist troll, powered by a single AAA battery with those white crystals oozing out of the terminals.
@jackcycles mind you, perhaps points could be added to their cycling licenses? And you'd think insurance companies * would increase their cycling insurance premiums? An administrative penalty might improve *compliance* - especially if it could be applied immediately after the offence. But I think they should trial that to see if it actually does. For ease of testing they could try this on motorists first (because number plates, that'll have 'em bang to rights). Monitor numbers speeding / going through red/amber lights in an area before and after bringing in fines, say. I dunno how much it would help with road safety though. Then again that's far more to do with removing incentives or even opportunity to behave dangerously, and making the desired safe behaviours "natural". * Currently I pay for membership of Cycling UK, which also gives me liability insurance; I think British Cycling membership does similar.
@jackcycles two-tier justice you say? Quite, that would never happen with driving - they throw the book * at you if you break the law then. You certainly wouldn't just be given "points" and a second chance, or allowed to do a course rather than paying a fine! * The Beano?
@jackcycles Sorry you didn't see it. We covered this story twice on our live blog on Wednesday and Thursday, and the original announcement back in January: https://road.cc/content/news/safety-film-option-cyclists-who-run-red-lights-317487

@slc I went to have a look last time I visited and I can only concur. It was a hellscape of parked cars * with the deadening silence of the ghost town only broken by the chirping of birds, chatter of people out in the streets, the occasional ringing of a bell and the wailing and gnashing of teeth from a couple of houses with all the "stop the ELBN" signs. Doubtless the worst fears of the fire brigade and the disabled woman with that minibus have come true. I can only assume the local Greens are running a "bulldoze an A-road through for social justice" campaign! * Actually I did really notice those, packed together filling up most of the space, same as before I guess...
@chrisonabike Here in Bristol the EBLN has created a ghetto, where wealthy pedestrians, bus passengers, and of course cyclists in tafetta gowns travel through only to mock the honest residents, who are forced to take great detours, queuing in traffic created by the council, to the shop next door. That is why local Labour are so keen to repent of their decision to create it. Nothing to do with the greens having since won the EBLN wards to become the largest party on the council.
Ferguson's rant about the definition of culture makes him sound like he has the type of sociopathic traits endemic to top level management of any sport or business. At least Brailsford could back up being a questionable human with sporting success. I can't tell if it's honest naivety or willful delusion, but there is clearly a history of poor communication, so either there was legacy he needed to address, or more likely given the lack of evidence of any corrective actions, the toxic culture still persists.

Accumulating used wrappers
Accumulating used wrappers throughout the race would mean spending more time and attention rummaging around trying to find the unused ones amongst them as you went on. One of the teams was recently showing off a jersey with a ‘waste pocket’ on the side to help avoid this, though.

Brilliant letter regarding
Brilliant letter regarding the bike shed.
I have a historical question. In Victorian times, what did these gardens really look like? I mean, I would expect that it was not uncommon that people actually had a shed in their front garden for garden tools or even for bicycles. As bicycles were common in the Victorian era, where did people store them? Perhaps one can even make an argument that a garden shed makes it more Victorian?
Our image of what historic towns looked like is often a bit of an idealised image. In Edinburgh we have lots of arguments that street vendors or market stalls destroy the historic character, when in reality the city would’ve ben full of street vendors in real historic times.

A friend spotted this on Facebook the other day – it seems Lincs Police are cracking down on pavement cycling (or could be NIMBYism). Apparently other, similar signs are appearing elsewhere.
Didn’t a transport secretary basically say it was okay to ride on pavements.

“….many cyclists, particularly children and young people, are afraid to cycle on the road, sensitivity and careful use of police discretion is required.”

It may or may not be an offence to ride on the pavement, it depends on the pavement.
It is an offence to ride on the footway. However guidance has been given that cyclists should not be prosecuted if they do so out of fear of traffic and are otherwise not causing any problems.
The no cycling sign is misleading, since it only applies to the footway not to the carriageway of the road in the photo. Since the act is already illegal (assuming it refers to a footway), the sign is redundant.
I’ve cycled through Woodhall
I’ve cycled through Woodhall Spa once in my life. On the basis of that experience, I’d say the main reason for cycling on the pavement would be how filthy the roads were – here’s a picture of my legs, (black) shoes and bike when I stopped for lunch at “Janet’s Tea Rooms” there.
The Pujara family risks
The Pujara family risks clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The planning system can be tricky to navigate but, since it is a delegated decision (it could be called in, but otherwise it will be an officer making the decision; and if it is called in to the planning committee, the officer’s recommendation will/should be significant to the outcome), the officer will make the decision, and will do so based on their experience and knowledge of planning legislation and the local and national policy.
The application is submitted. If you had things to say, you do so at the application – and be thorough and factual but not argumentative. Or you can do so on appeal. Either way, stick to the material matters, don’t play to the gallery.
The application is in the consultation phase. Now, you keep quiet.
There’s nothing wrong with the argument in principle, except it’s not good planning, and it will only serve a) to prove their ignorance, and b) to antagonise the decision-maker(s).
“…In all likelihood it will deny us planning because the Town and Country Planning order states that structures like this cannot be located to the front of a property, and because we live in a conservation area we don’t have permitted development rights.”
There is no need to prejudge the outcome. Why weaken your own position?
National general permitted development orders do not stipulate they cannot have a structure like this to the front of the property; but if they did, that would take the decision out of the hands of the local planning authority (LPA), so why be critical about non-negotiable matters?
They are right that the Conservation Area status means an Article 4 direction has been made that revokes general permitted development rights in that area. That does not mean they cannot have a shed in the front garden, it means they cannot put it there as of permitted development (‘PD’) – they have to apply for permission.
That said, PD allows some things but doesn’t permit others; building a shed in the front garden is not PD, so they would have to apply for permission regardless of the Article 4 direction.
I put it to you that your permitted development planning policies are now inconsistent with your environmental aims. These polices need to be updated to encourage cycling and to include all cyclists. You have the opportunity here to extend permitted development to include bike sheds.
“I put it to you…” Don’t do that. Don’t ever do that!
More to the point, PD is national, not local. The LPA has no control over it (except to revoke it for an area, subject to process). PD is about saying what is permitted, not what is forbidden. If development is not PD, it required planning permission, that’s all. The LPA does not have any opportunity to ‘extend permitted development’. It does have the opportunity to apply local planning policy when forming a planning decision, however.
The proposed development requires permission. There are strong cases for supporting it already within the local planning policy (core strategy) and national policy (National Planning Policy Framework – NPPF). The conservation area status is a spanner in the works in that, if the shed can be shown to cause harm, it should be refused unless the benefits outweigh any harm (which I personally believe they do).
It does not help that they have already installed the development. That makes it very much more important that they do not fail the ‘attitude test’ at this stage (although the planning decision should really be based on the actual merits, not the timeline).
This sort of letter is harmful to their cause in that it does not invite sympathy from the organisation they are both applying to and criticising… openly. It is a clear example of why you should not be your own

To be fair, the council already did just that. In the original story it was reported that the council had told them that they could apply for retrospective permission, but that it was unlikely to be granted – they’re basically just repeating those comments back to them.

It is quite possible for somebody to have given a view over the likely outcome; it happens all the time. They should leave reasonable room for looking at the details, however. It is highly likely the view was from an officer not making the decision, in any case.

Re: what would it look like if we built roads the same way we built cycle lanes?
– Correct on the narrow pinch point, correct on the poor surface.
– However, road is way too wide and doesn’t introduce any conflict with other road users. No glass or debris other than puddles. Also, no sign of repeated give ways to other paths or roads. It also appears to be built in a straight line and not deviating around more important road users.
Good start, but needs a little more work to be totally realistic.
