As subtly hinted at by this morning’s tweet, I have been road testing a budget option of winter-proofing my SPD shoes. Shown half-way through the delicate procedure, you may notice one of the bomb-proof Shimano shoes has been subtly modified to block off the toe ventilation. The end result should hopefully be toasty piggies, whatever […]
I find this kind of thing oddly fascinating. Look at them go! Ahem… Anyway, first snow of the winter, so still on the spikey-tyred upright. Mainly slush, so only real issue is hidden potholes. Dug the helmet out of the cupboard for a bit of extra warmth and muppetry insurance.

Excitingly (and somewhat mysteriously) the recumbent front disc brake managed to eat its own pads on the way home last night. I know, I didn’t know that could happen either. As a result, you may have heard me limp past last night making a noise like a tin can in a washing machine. It appears […]

Delicately lifted from Ecovelo and originally from (R)evolutions per Minute, watch this for some genuinely spectacular bikes. If you haven’t got time to watch the whole thing, then skip to about 5:00 for a flying Xtracycle and 7:00 for some stonkingly large batteries. Then watch the whole thing.

The Great North Run 2011 took place last Sunday. As well as being the occasion where a large number of unsuspecting men lose all the skin from their nipples, it is one of the world’s largest half marathons with over 38,000 runners and therefore a somewhat challenging duty to cover from an Ambulance point of view. It’s […]

It’s also unnecessary if you are blessed with the conventional style of indicators in your car. The easiest way to indicate from the Fuego appears to be a nonchalant bent-elbow pointed finger in the direction intended. Whilst in the front of a queue waiting to turn right at a crossroads, I noticed that the driver […]
