http://www.voleospeed.co.uk/2014/12/letter-to-bbc-over-im-sorry-i-havent.html
Mostly about cycling in the. And elsewhere in London,. But also touching on. Environment, politics,. Philosophy, science,. Society, music and art. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. Letter to the BBC over 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'. I am writing to complain about a joke that was made in the I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. I am sure you will claim that Clue. Joke about the Highway Code fell. This kind of humour would be totally unacceptable when applied against religious or racial minorities, or other groups, suc...

Cyclists in the City: Jeremy Clarkson still thinks we're anti-capitalists. His own newspaper disagrees. Sunday Times: cyclists now outnumber motorists on busy commuter routes
http://cyclelondoncity.blogspot.com/2011/06/jeremy-clarkson-still-thinks-were-anti.html
Cyclists in the City. Monday, 20 June 2011. Jeremy Clarkson still thinks we're anti-capitalists. His own newspaper disagrees. Sunday Times: cyclists now outnumber motorists on busy commuter routes. Today's Sunday Times featured two big pieces on cycling. The first, an editorial from Jeremy Clarkson. "Cycling. Is seen now . as a frontline propoganda weapon in the war on capitalism, banking, freedom, McDonald's." you get the idea. Jeremy Clarkson thinks these cyclists in the Square. In fact, let's continue...

Hackney cyclist: July 2016
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 8 July 2016. Picture Post: 30 minutes outside Nijmegen station in the rain. A week ago I stood outside Nijmegen station. For around ten minutes, with a broken bike, taking pictures of people cycling. I then went into the bike maintenance area in the large bike parking lot under the station to get it fixed and then stood outside again taking more pictures as I realised I would not have a bike for the rest of the day.

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Seven: Breda to Eindhoven via Tilburg
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Seven: Breda to Eindhoven via Tilburg. Following a couple of hours of cycling aimlessly around Breda on a Monday morning, just heading in random directions to see what it was like, I began my journey east out of the city on one of the main roads, which had bi-directional cycle tracks. Along both sides of it. As I approached the river which circles the city I turned left onto a filtered road. The residential properties suddenly ga...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Five: Amsterdam to Hook of Holland via The Hague
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/01/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_19.html
Tuesday, 19 January 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Five: Amsterdam to Hook of Holland via The Hague. I spent the first two hours of Monday morning enjoying cycling on very busy roads. Following the rush hour I stopped off for breakfast and to buy some clogs, magnets and other crappy tourist gifts for people back home from the Albert Cuyp market. Going about their day, mostly on bikes. I crossed over Amstelveenseweg. Along a bicycle road. In three locations in order to create space...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Eight: Eindhoven to 's-Hertogenbosch
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_86.html
Wednesday, 16 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Eight: Eindhoven to 's-Hertogenbosch. All main roads had cycle tracks of course, along with other cycle only routes, such as the Dommel "silly walks" tunnel. This tunnel is an unusual and interesting place to visit but more importantly it is a well used cycling and walking only route under the railway lines which links the University on one side, with its own network of cycle tracks. Following the morning rush I looked at pictu...

On 'Hoxton Area cycle route improvements' to "improve the area for cycling and walking along the Central London cycle grid".

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Three: Gouda to Utrecht
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/01/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_13.html
Wednesday, 13 January 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Three: Gouda to Utrecht. This was clearly an old road and couldn't be widened to create wide cycle tracks along with pavements and a buffer zone but safe conditions had been found by simply utilising the space available more appropriately. At times there was just a slab of kerb. A typical rural A road in North Wales with wasted space alongside. I've cycled along this busy road many times; always an unpleasant experience. This la...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Four: Utrecht to Amsterdam
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/01/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_15.html
Friday, 15 January 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Four: Utrecht to Amsterdam. I'd been in Utrecht for nearly 48 hours and had seen some truly extraordinary infrastructure projects and cycled on some marvelous routes. It had been quite a sight to see the remains of a motorway which, at the time, was being turned into a canal ( now partially complete. The huge amount of cycle parking at the train station. Including children of a very young age, safely separated from buses. I'd cycle...

Cyclists in the City: WOW. TfL approves cycle super highways. But real threat still lurks. Not from taxis or the freight industry but, in my opinion, from Canary Wharf Group, which seems to have been trying to undermine the public consultation

Cyclists in the City. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. WOW TfL approves cycle super highways. But real threat still lurks. Not from taxis or the freight industry but, in my opinion, from Canary Wharf Group, which seems to have been trying to undermine the public consultation. This morning the Transport for London board met and voted to approve the go-ahead for five Cycle Super Highway projects. Here's a map I made earlier. The green line is roughly the route of the Cycle Super Highway. And, I am not making th...
