Civerinos Slice of Edinburgh have installed the signs in an effort to prevent drivers from parking in a recently installed pop-up cycle lane at the Forrest Road junction outside their restaurant. In the smaller print underneath the main notice, Civerinos say they won't serve or take deliveries from anyone parking in the lane.

They say they've took action to "try and protect cyclists and pedestrians at the Forrest road junction to try and stop people parking on the pavement & bus lane. We have encouraged our neighbours to do the same. Stay safe.. be nice... eat pizza."

It would be wrong to congratulate this bold move without a suitable pizza pun...

Brilliant. Your customer base has just grown. Thank you for doing this.

British Cycling have have given an update on the sport's route out of lockdown today, announcing that regional level racing is still suspended until 1st August and no national level events can be held until at least 1st September - ruling out any major national championships in the UK this year. 

The lifting of a suspension on all club and group activity was announced in British Cycling's 'The Way Forward' document on June 18th, but they've clarified that the regional races allowed to take place will not include road racing or sportive-type events. British Cycling say: "We are keenly aware that road racing is the passion of a great number of our members. While we were able to reintroduce small club rides on June 18, we believe there are particular challenges when it comes to reintroducing this discipline as well as other mass-start events on the public highway, including sportives.

"These challenges include the impact on the communities whose roads we use, field sizes and the support required from emergency services. Therefore, it is likely that when mass start road events do return, they will do so first on closed circuits."

In the (sweary) clip, the mountain biker filming claims that the two dog walkers have deliberately laid branches across a path in Epping Forest. Although they don't actually admit it, the conversation would suggest the cyclists have seen the pair putting the traps down.

The argument continues, with the male dog walker shouting "I'm not saying you can't cycle", but accusing the cyclists of riding dangerously. The cyclist filming says he is saving the pair from "a manslaughter charge" by removing the traps, with neither side backing down.

It's the latest in a growing list of incidents in which self-styled vigilantes have put traps down with the intent of deterring/injuring cyclists, including one where two pensioners admitted to putting traps down on a path in North Yorkshire. Police confirmed that they interviewed two women - a retired teacher and a former parish councillor - about the incident after footage of the pair circulated on social media.  

After trying and failing with a regular pump and giving his floor a good helping of sealant as well as his tyre, on the advice of his dad the Israel Start-Up Nation rider eventually deploys a CO2 canister to get his new tubeless tyre on the rim (we have it on pretty good authority this won't work with some tyre/sealant combos).

As observed by some of those commenting on this bizarre viral video - that we believe first circulated on TikTok - the girl 'running over' the cyclists appears to be attached to a rope to make things a little less likely to end up with broken bones. It goes without saying that if you own a gymnasium, a harness and have a dozen friends with bikes who like riding round in circles, don't try this at home...

The car brand have shied away from superbikes like various other car brands that have dipped their toe into cycling over the years, aiming the new 'Women Rider Citroënist by Martone' squarely at city mobility. The three-speed machine has a basket and double kickstand for elegant parking outside achingly cool Parisian cafés, and also retains the signature red chain that features on all Martone bikes. 

A unisex version already existed which is currently reduced to €760 down from €950 on Citroën's Lifestyle website, and the new Women Rider model is priced at €784.

This before and captures perfectly how the installation of a modal filter to prevent 'rat-running' drivers can totally transform a street.
