Emily shared this photo of a bike lane in Manchester saying: “Manchester has a new contender for its worst cycling infra attempt,” and it’s hard to argue…Squeezing cyclists into one half of a bike lane is a new one, especially next to a busy A-road. After the new development next to the cycle lane was built, the footway and cycleway were resurfaced, but nothing was done to prevent cyclists having to ride head first at each other.
One reply did point out that there may be slight hope in that as part of the Active Travel Fund, the council are due to better link cycling routes to the city centre along the the A56…So perhaps this infrastructure may soon be a thing of the past…
As part of the Active Travel Fund, Manchester Council and Trafford Council have said they will link Sale to the City centre along the A56, as part of Traffords A56 scheme, and MCC’s city centre triangle scheme.This is due to be consulted soon, and installed by this time next year pic.twitter.com/ydNtXAaupI

Drunk cyclist who crashed into Belgian mayor goes viral
A drunk cyclist who rode into a Belgian mayor doing a TV interview has gone viral, eight months after the incident happened. The Brussels Times reports the Hasselt mayor, Steven Vandeput, finds the video’s popularity surprising but also quite funny. The clip went viral after being posted on YouTube by Meme Tycoon and has now been viewed almost four million times.
“3.6 million views is a lot,” Vandeput laughed. “I have also read the comments under the video, and I must say I find it all quite funny. I was only left with a bruise. The man clearly did not agree with some decisions I made as mayor. The police then took the man away anyway, because he continued to be difficult even after the collision.”
A local media report at the time of the incident claimed the cyclist was drunkenly ranting about the “benefits of communism” before the incident with the mayor who represents the Flemish nationalist party N-VA. The mayor confirmed he hadn’t launched a complaint and only asked that the man goes home and sleeps off the alcohol…
New figures show bike theft down 20%
The latest crime figures from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) show that reported bicycle crimes fell by 18 per cent in Northern Ireland in 2020 compared to 2019. During the first lockdown from March to May, there was a 15 per cent decrease compared to May 2019. The region of the UK where cyclists were most likely to have their bike stolen was Cambridgeshire which recorded 3.9 bicycle crimes per 1,000 residents, followed by London with 3.3 and Thames Valley with 2.1. In comparison, Northern Ireland recorded just 0.37 bicycle crimes per 1,000.
Responding to the figures, Greg Wilson of bicycle insurance company Compare NI.com said: “As the country cautiously prepares to emerge from lockdown, there’s a possibility the number of bicycle thefts might rise sharply, given the increase in bikes available to opportunistic thieves. So bike safety and comprehensive insurance will be important – especially since a large percentage are new owners and perhaps unaware of what’s available to protect themselves and their bicycle.”

Have you ever seen a more fetching set of bars than this? The Campag Kid, who specialises in building bikes equipped with (you guessed it) Campagnolo parts, says it took about 8 years to source these Mapei-themed Colnago integrated bars. The finished build will be a Colnago C59 Mapei, which we’d probably sell a kidney and any other non-essential organs to have a go on when it’s ready.
Strava update debate
The new Strava update is out, as you can see from the location info next to the time at the top of this activity. Useful if you’re scrolling your feed and want to see where all your riding pals have gone on holiday…oh, wait a second. We’ve seen a couple of comments with privacy-related concerns but that seems to be something which comes with the territory when uploading your ride’s GPS data. Non-GPS data rides won’t use the feature…Thoughts?
On our Facebook page, Kieran Barry was pleased with the new feature saying: “Good update. Also appreciating the activity search feature.”
Denmark spends big on cycling network
The Danish government has pledged more than half a billion kroner (roughly £60 million) for improvements to the country’s cycling network and to help promote cycling as an accessible mode of transport. CPH Post reports a little under £45 million has been earmarked for 20 projects involving implementing bike lanes on state roads. Around £17 million will be used to build bike lanes on smaller municipal roads. “We agree that the funds will go to bicycle projects that help make it more attractive to get in the saddle,” said transport minister, Benny Engelbrecht.
Man buying bike off strangers hit over the head and robbed
A man buying a bike off two strangers in Reading was hit over the head and robbed of his money last Friday. Thames Valley Police say the incident happened in London Road at around 7.30pm on February 12 when a man thought he’d agreed to buy a bicycle off the two offenders. An argument broke out after the men demanded more money before the victim was hit on the back of the head and robbed.
Police say the victim was uninjured in the assault and that they are looking for the two offenders who are described as white men, between 30 and 40 years old. One was 6ft and wearing a green jacket. The other was 5ft 10ins and wearing a black jacket with blue jeans. Both were described as being medium build.
PC Philip Marchant said the incident was distressing for the victim and encouraged two members of the public who saw the incident to come forward. He said: “We would like to speak to anyone who saw what happened or has details about this incident. Specifically, we would like to speak to two members of the public who were passing at the time of the incident and intervened as they may have information that could help with the investigation.
“Further, if you think you know who the men described are, we would like you to get in touch. Please call Thames Valley Police on 101 or make a report online and share any CCTV if you think it picks up this incident. If you would prefer to remain 100 per cent anonymous, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Banksy's broken bike artwork removed and sold to collector for six-figure sum
The Banksy artwork of a girl hula-hooping with a bicycle tyre has been sold for a six-figure fee and has been removed. The mural appeared outside a Nottingham beauty salon in October and was claimed by the mysterious artist who said it was taking a pop at the government poster featuring a ballerina named Fatima who should retrain in ‘cyber’.
Just a month later the bike chained in front of the mural disappeared, presumed stolen, but was actually removed for safe keeping. The artwork was carefully removed by workmen this morning after gallery owner John Brandler told the BBC he paid a “six-figure sum” for the piece and wanted to preserve it and put it on display. Brandler owns a number of Banksy’s pieces, including Seasons Greetings.
The collector added that he believes he saved the piece just in time as the perspex screen over the picture was causing damp damage. A spokesperson for Nottingham City Council confirmed that they had sought Banksy’s approval to move the piece to a different location.
Local resident Jasinya Powell expressed her disappointment at the artwork being sold. “It’s capitalism at its finest – it’s all about the Benjamins [money] at the end of the day,” she told the BBC. “It got people talking about Raleigh, about Nottingham, about what the city has produced and done.”
Thomas De Gendt says he was one of the 16 pro riders to open the email proposal about the UCI's rule changes
When she says she only dates bad boys. pic.twitter.com/TM9WPnTqDV
— Thomas De Gendt (@DeGendtThomas) February 9, 2021
Thomas De Gendt told Belgian outlet Sporza that he understands Matteo Trentin’s frustration with their fellow riders after the Italian claimed just 16 out 800 pro riders sent the UCI’s proposed rule changes bothered to open it. Trentin suggested last week that the pro peloton should spend less time on TikTok and be more proactive about safety issues…
De Gendt said he was warned by former teammate Adam Hansen that there would be some major rule changes proposed. However, he admitted he understood why so few had read the proposal email.
“I agree with Trentin that riders are not really concerned with all the things that come with the race. Not that we don’t care, but sometimes we just don’t have the time or feel like doing it. Certainly in this case the period played a role,” the Lotto Soudal rider explained.
“The email was sent at the beginning of November. Most riders are then in a rest period. I also put my mobile phone aside for three weeks during that period.”
The Belgian was critical of the CPA riders’ union which represented pro cyclists’ interests at the meetings with the UCI, saying that he felt they had lied in the past.
“The new union has yet to prove everything, but hopefully they will do better. I have very little faith in the CPA because it has already lied to the riders a number of times that they have talked to organisers, but had not. That’s how they want to keep us quiet. An example is the stage in the Giro 2020, which was ultimately halved. But it has happened before. The union must also represent us and not just the organisers.”
South Ribble Police return stolen bike to owner who had given up hope of finding it
Here’s a nice news story for a grey Wednesday afternoon…South Ribble Police managed to reunite one victim of theft with their stolen bike. The bike was stolen during a spate of burglaries in October and was found when police discovered it in a shed at an unrelated incident. Fortunately, having seized the bike they were able to trace the owner and got it back to them yesterday.
They encouraged other cyclists to register their bikes with the National Cycle Database, Bike Register.
Puncture dilema
Nightmare scenario for road.cc editor Jack Sexty this afternoon…A puncture within touching distance of home. If I were a football commentator I’d probably call it the ‘corridor of uncertainty’. Do you chuck a new tube in when you could be home by the time it’s fixed? Or face the awkward cleat hobble back to your front door? Whatever you choose it’s going to put a damper on any ride…
Drjmills is all for getting every last pedal stroke out of your spin: “Change the tube at the side of the road and ride home in glory!”
Alexhamilton13 prefers to live life on the edge: “Pump some air into it, ride home quickly to get back before it completely deflates again.”
Fabio Jakobsen provisionally scheduled to make comeback from injury in three weeks, however team boss Patrick Lefevere believes it will probably still be too soon
Guess what? @deceuninck_qst just added @FabioJakobsen & @MarkCavendish to their prov. starting list✔️
We hope to see you here guys!#GPMonseré21 #comebackstronger pic.twitter.com/vf139yShXB

At least provisionally, Fabio Jakobsen is down to race his bike again, eight months on from his horrific crash at the Tour of Poland. However, Deceuninck-Quick-Step team boss Patrick Lefevere said the date was likely to come too soon. Jakobsen was included on Quick-Step’s startlist for GP Monseré alongside Mark Cavendish, for the race on March 7.
Lefevere was quick to point out it’s unlikely Jakobsen will be able to return just yet. “He just had another operation,” the team principal explained to Dutch website Wielerflits. “The stitches will not go out until February 25. Then 7 March will come really too early. He also has insufficient training in his legs. The intention is that he will train for another month. After that, we hope to gradually give him a taste of competition.”

I've had a Komoot subscription for a few years. I won't be using the ChatGPT thing as everything about AI is objectionable, but that apart, the remark above about 'don't send me down a muddy gravel track' is absolutely on the nose. I first got Komoot as a way in to my local off-road routes, which did work, so if I'm planning a road ride I have to examine the Komoot route carefully as it does default to the shoddiest surface available. I think Komoot was always off-road focussed so this is simply in its nature.
Can it go lower than that? Also, what's the maximum rear cog one can configure? One would assume with a virtual set up like this that the range is more or less infinite but "up to" makes it sound as though there are limits.
Correct. The Guardian is not a source of scientific data. It is a newspaper that REPORTS on the findings of scientists. And scientists are almost unanimous that anthropocentric global warming is real and represents a thereat to humanity. Anyway, this article isn't from the Guardian, so I don't know why you're wanging on about it.
Have the people complaining actually tried the ChatGPT for Komoot app? It doesn't sound like it to me. Because if they had, they would have much more specific complaints about how crap it is. (I'm going to confess I'm a bit of a hypocrite - I haven't tried it myself, as I don't have a ChatGPT account (I do have a Komoot account). But plenty of examples on the internet of people trying it and getting routes that have seemingly little relationship to the prompt supplied).
“planning the race for the morning hours and avoiding the afternoons could substantially increase rider and spectator safety” but it would reduce the appeal to sponsors and TV broadcasters, who pay the bills and so are far more important than the riders and spectators. It's therefore not going to happen. Even making a last-minute switch in extreme situations probably won't work because of the amount of logistics and people involved - the TdF is SO much bigger than the Tour Down Under.
Ah, the scientific rigour of the climate-change-denying right, a blank assertion with no evidence offered coupled with an insult. Pathetic.
Or, in higher temperatures, use ice jackets and ice bundles which can be replenished from the support car.
A cooling sleeve cools you down for maybe 30 minutes and then it becomes a hassle, it also prevents heat leaving the body as an "empty" sleeve now becomes an extra layer. It does make some sense for a time, but in the long run it's just problematic to use. It's just much easier to just pour water over your body.
This kind of journalism makes me laugh. As climate change brings ecological breakdown and migration on a biblical scale and international food security puts the price of food out of most people's pockets then there isn't going to be any bike racing in the morning or any other time. Get an allotment and learn how to protect it. Good luck everyone.
I often wonder why they don't wear cooling arm sleeves and cooling hats under their helmets. At a guess it's probably something to do with 'the rules', as this is road racing. Headsweats caps and similar make a big difference to how hot you get and you avoid getting your head sunburnt through the gaps in your helmet.

I look at that Manchester
I look at that Manchester cycle infra and think if that’s the ‘worst’ you’ve got to contend with on a ride, you ain’t doing too badly imo
Awavey wrote:
Well, it’s fine for experienced riders who are probably happy to laugh it off and bunnyhop into the road, two new riders nervously approaching each other and colliding, could be enough to put them off cycling, the very opposite of what the new infra is supposed to accomplish.
How is that situation
How is that situation different from any shared cycle path setup with no lane markings ?
You often find yourself on shared paths riding towards other riders with a similar amount of space, so how do inexperienced riders avoid colliding and being put off for life in that situation, even when a straw poll of shared path users will insist theres a keep left rule to follow and get very worked up about those that dont.
Ride it slowly, stop if you have to give way to other riders,rejoin the road past the junction back on the cycle path.
From street view that stuff has been there like that since at least 2008,so it’s not new,it might have a new lick of paint and it could certainly handle the junction better if you could rely on vehicles giving way there
Im not going to rank it my top ten of great cycling lane implementations,but to label that the worst, that’s not the worst I’ve seen by a long long stretch.
Just noticed that as per
Just noticed that as per Google Streetview, the infra has been pretty much the same for at least 13 years. So not new, just repainted after the recent building work.

If I was riding with them, yes, because i know full well we dont live in a cycling utopia where all our routes are going to be perfect & if that’s the worst we have to deal with,we are doing alright.
Try following an allegedly family friendly cycle route that dumps you on a busy dual carriageway that you have to cross and the only assistance provided to you is a gap in the armco.

I know what you mean, but I think there are two main problems with the infra (as far as I can tell from the photos):
It would have made slightly
It would have made slightly more sense if the continuing side had been, er, continuous, and the side that’s being spat out onto the road had had the ‘END’ and give way markings on its own side, so that it was giving way to riders coming in the opposite direction.
If I’m expected to join a
If I’m expected to join a carriageway with faster moving traffic I would like to maintain the speed if safe so I think in the context of the above, it is better the way it currently is.
AlsoSomniloquism wrote:
If safe, you still could – it would still only be a give way, wherever it was located. If there are people approaching along the cycle lane in the other direction, I’m not convinced suddenly swinging across their path to get to the road is safe, even if technically it tells them to give way.
But it isn’t one give way but
But it isn’t one give way but two, one to let the oncoming bikes come and then one onto the carriageway itself. If approaching it I would want to only need to respond to the vehicles coming behind me and not the ones in front as well. (Obviously hoping they give way as mentioned). As I said in one of my other posts, I’m not defending the stupidity but think the design is obvious on how it is supposed to work, and now seems to have been there 13 year minimum so I suspect it either isn’t used or does it’s job as is.
What about what the people
What about what the people coming the other way want, though? With the current arrangement, if you get there and do have to give way to traffic on the road, you’re then blocking people coming the other way, so both of you have to wait.
Having looked around on
Having looked around on streetview, the one thing I’m still not clear about is the intended use – it appears to connect a side road to an industrial estate.
I’m going to take a punt and say that the A56 is a pretty important route in and out of Manchester. The majority of the A56 appears to have absolutely no cycling infrastructure. To me, this stinks of another situation where some city planner has identified a “quiet route” that tracks the A56 but wiggles in and out of industrial estates and residential streets in order to avoid cycling on the A56, and in doing so ends up being twice as long and three times as slow. They can then justify only putting in infrastructure where it meets the A56, and only considering that one flow of cyclists.
I’ve seen it time and time again: rather than making the direct route more attractive to cyclists, cyclists are directed to use back alleys. This is my primary concern about LTNs as well – they might make residential streets more pleasant for cycling, but they do very little to make the main roads more attractive. Main roads are, almost by definition, the roads that most people want to use to get from A to B, and that doesn’t change just because someone is on a bike. If a cyclist feels the need to choose a longer, more tortuous route for their journey because they don’t feel comfortable using the “obvious” road then that is a failure of the road network and planning system.
It leads onto an unsegreated
It leads onto an unsegreated two way lane on the other side of the road, or the one way cycle route along the one way road to the left. The stupidness is instead of taking advantage of the opened up pavement to make it truly two way even there, they decided to leave as is. If you see the original area, a large fence meant the if the path stayed the same thickness, peds and bikes would clash at the blind corner.
absolutely, not denying it
absolutely, not denying it has issues at all, but it is what is and has seemingly been like that for a while.
my point was simply that cant be claimed to be the worse even in Manchester, & its not even close to the worse from elsewhere in the UK, the Warrington cycle campaign produced two books,and, could probably be well onto a 3rd or 4th by now if theyd wanted, of things that are far worse than that
And having a ‘two-way traffic
And having a ‘two-way traffic flow’ sign right in the supposedly one-way part of the cycle lane isn’t confusing at all? Oh, wait a moment, it is facing the wrong way, so it must be for the benefit of the motor traffic…
I am sure that cyclists trying to make sense of the junction they are approaching along the one-way bike lane won’t be distracted at all by having to avoid a road sign post planted in their lane, will they? In fact I think road signs that refer to completely completely different lanes from the ones they are planted in is a great idea! I look forward to dozens of ‘cycle lane’ signs erected in the middle of motor carriageways. Sure no-one would complain about that.
I will say it looks a little
I will say it looks a little bit confusing, but…
It does look as though it’s seperated from the dangerous motor vehicles, even curb protected, not just magical white paint or the very half-arsed “advisory” dashed line.
The surface looks smooth, not rough or rutted, with changes of surface or potholes.
It looks free from most obstructions, there does appear to be a lampost to one side, but I cannot see any bus shelters, bins, trees, advertising things, huge signposts meant primarily for motorists or black bollards plonked right in the middle.
I fail to see prioity being seeded at minor side roads with accompanying “cyclist dismount” signs, or weird chicanes or speed bumps.
I’m guessing my bar has been set pretty low…

I was going to show a shared path down a road near me where it changes sides several times and crosses a side road and at each road crossing, they have cyclist dismount signs. So cyclists can cycle on the “pavement” but not across the road. However I have just noticed on Streetview that the signs are not there as of Apr2019 so must have only recently been put up.
What really gets me about
What really gets me about that infrastructure (apart from the obvious crappiness) is that a Designer has created it, and a senior approved it, then a Client (council ?) has agreed to it. And all of these people will be fully paid. Now if they admit that it is wrong they will all get paid again to fix it. And the job that has been rushed through the office (its only a cycle lane after all) with minimal inspection will still have had all the hours (and more ?) charged to it because there is money in the budget
I’m not saying it is not
I’m not saying it is not stupid, but it is quite obvious that it is supposed to be one way after that point with the cyclists going “into the city” being pointed to use the road, and the cyclists coming out giving way to them when they have to swap lanes
Altogether now…

Otherwise a) the bike is likely stolen and b) you’re in danger of being turned over for your cash.

Unfortunate about the guy who got attacked, very lucky he wasnt injured or even stabbed.
Rule of thumb…
Whenever i had went to collect or deliver items bought/sold on sites like gumtree I always arranged a place to meet like a busy highstreet and i always took a friend with me or had him tail me just incase the person i was meeting with pulled some funny business.
This sort of bad behviour has been happening for decades… People meeting with others to sell their car, laptops or mobile phones getting jumped by the buyers friends and mugged.
I havent used gumtree for almost 15years and I prefer to use ebay as its much more convenient and safer.
with the currently level of policing, Im not too confident that even a busy highstreet would be enough of a detterent to a small group of people that are dead set on stealing from you but at least it would make them think twice.
Avoid meeting people for trades if you can but if its unavoidable — take a few friends with you or have your friend tail you with the money in his own pocket, that way if they do try something funny, they can only take the £5 bus fare you have in your pocket rather than the £700 you were going to give them for their iphone or macbook.
I have sold a few bikes on
I have sold a few bikes on ebay, and I always use a courier to deliver them. It always puzzles me why when people selling bikes insist on pick up – I’ve even offered to arrange a delivery when buying, but to no avail. What am I missing?
In these CO-vid times, driving halfway across the country to pick a bike up is surely a ‘no no’??
Because insisting on pick-up
Because insisting on pick-up only is much easier than acquiring a suitably sized box, dismantling the bike to the degree required to fit in said box, packaging securely to ensure no damage in transit, and then finding a courier to transport it?
Maybe if you’ve done it a few times you are confident, and if you’re on good terms with a local bike shop they can probably supply suitable cardboard boxes, but I can see why the average Joe might not want to go down that route.

In any case, I’ve had this happen less than two miles from home, and I’ve fixed the flat. Even half a mile from home is near a ten minute walk for most people, more than enough time to fix the flat. And once I’m home, I’ll still have a puncture to fix. Total time (fix flat and cycle home) << (walk home and fix flat.)
I will just swap tubes and not bother patching the original until I’m home though. Normally I’d patch the tube I remove just in case I puncture again.

SLs make sense for pro racers, no doubt, for the recreational pootler SPDs are no brainer.
