Cycling blogs

There are lots of cycling blogs of course, but these are three by people I know:

Pedallingmythoughts
Cycling blog by Ian, the brilliant but quirky youth adviser for the Oxford Diocese. His Youthblog is here and is called Youthblog, but it is his cycling blog we are interested in today. Lots of interesting and inspiring cycling thoughts and links. One of Ian’s bikes is a Brompton, which folds up into your pocket* so you don’t have to leave it outside. *Well, smallish anyway.

Mr M’s Tour de France
Mr M is the husband of Wiblogger Miffy. He has reached Belgium as we speak, which must be on the way to France. I’m not sure. Anyway, definitely one to add to your feed reader for the next 6 weeks.

42: Cycling
This is the cycling section of Cartoon Blog reader Dave Warnock’s site. Dave rides recumbent trikes, which really do look like a lot of fun.

I haven’t been out on my bike for nearly a week as the weather has been poor. Unless you count yesterday’s trip to the Post Office to buy stamps to send all of your postcards out. Talking of which, I should go to the Post Office to send all of your postcards out.

Update: Another cycling link. Paul goes on a cycling break. I’m inspired.

    I fear that if I cycle I’ll be knocked off my bike by a car. The road-safety aspect really concerns me, to the extent that I look as if I am sucking on a lemon whenever I see adverts encouraging more people to cycle (I live in London). Now, if EVERYONE cycled that’d solve the problem for me (and if I ruled the world I’d force everyone to cycle. That and abolish extremism).

    It concerns me Ruth as well. I tend to cycle mainly on cycle paths or quiet roads for that reason. I hate the speed many drivers travel at here in Essex, and in the year and a bit I’ve lived here I’ve never seen anyone stopped for speeding or any police speed checks.

    Thanks, Dave. Does anyone know of any tricycli, tricycleist…folk who ride on three wheelers – or tricycle bloggers. I quite fancy the idea of trying that.

    Miffy,

    Upright tricycles are a somewhat weird beast. It is they way they don’t lean when you steer them. Recumbent trikes like mine don’t have that feeling which it why I like them.

    The nearest blogs I know of would be something like velorution (http://www.velorution.biz/) which mentions them in passing eg http://www.velorution.biz/?p=1168
