How to set up your bike

As I've just had a bike built for me and I'm about to buy a replacement for my old commuter I should pay attention to this guide to bike set up to avoid joint pain.

The troubles of finding a second hand bike in London. My local bike shop (Withington Cycles) has a sign on the door saying they don't take second hand bikes, probably because they get so many scallies coming in trying to pass on stolen rides. For a very short period last year the Ride Manchester scheme was probably the best place to go to get a second hand bike, but they're gone now.

An alternative highway code for urban cyclist's, and route notes for London. Tomorrow they cover Manchester and Liverpool.

The Times they are a-changing

The Thunderer comes out with a leading article calling for greater support of the most sensible mode of transport for modern cities- the bicycle. I'd only argue with one of their points. You can cart a lot of shopping, and even children, around with pedal power, you just have to plan ahead when buying your bike and kit.
