...that may or may not interest you...
Ex-Framebuilder Dave Moulton has an interesting blog here
The statistics post here gives some useful info to those who have to fend off the 'cycling is dangerous' opinion. Do not confuse Dave Moulton with Alex Moulton.
A blog about bikes in Copenhagen. Updated regularly with great pictures, the blog tells of an inherent bike culture, full of joy and fashion.
Not for those afraid of heights, this blog entry tells of the most dangerous roads in the world and how best to cycle them. It's a long page, so dial up users beware.

Dutch Bikes
You may have seen Clive Sinclair's A bike, here is another similar type of bike spotted whilst out and about...
It's a Strida and looks more comfortable than the A bike. It has a kevlar drivetrain (so no lubrication needed) and disc brakes. More details of the bike here.

Bike Recycling and Shoes
Here is one of the bikes that has been recycled from a project in Richmond.
It's in the window of Ruby Tuesday in Sheen. They are using it to promote the range of bike bags by Tintamar called 'Cyclobag'.
The recycling project is run out of the Strathmore Centre in Teddington. The bikes are recycled by young people in the borough and are offered to the public in return for a donation to the Shooting Star Hospice.

A jaunty joust to the Tiltyard for tea
Thursday, 20 December 2007
Saturday 22nd December
10:15 for a 10:30 depart
Location: Teddington Station
Contact: info@rcc.myzen.co.uk
Led by: Susan Scorer
Phone: 07976 294626
Starting at Teddington Station (by the bike racks) at 10.15 for a 10:30 depart. Crossing the river at Teddington Lock, this ride makes its way to Hampton Court for coffee at the Tiltyard Cafe and then back through Bushy Park. This is a ride for everyone, about 9 miles.
In case you were interested, tiltyards were built for jousting matches, the one at Hampton Court was built by Henry VIII and the cafe is named after it. There is also a Tiltyard Tower, where the jousting could be watched. Not all of this info came from Wikipedia.

South West LCC Xmas Ride - Report
Well, it rained and then it didn't but by that time, the Italian coffee shop in Sheen had biased our opinion towards the cold wet outside. We set off for the White Cross warmed and excited by the coffee and arrived last, again. Richmond Park was quite windy, that was our excuse. The White Cross was filled with cyclists and there was another warm and friendly atmosphere welcoming us along with a warm and filling lunch - we highly recommend the apple crumble and custard. The pics are proof of how much we didn't want to leave the warmth...

South West LCC Xmas Ride
Friday, 7 December 2007
Sunday 9th December
10:00 for a 10:15 depart
Location: Mortlake Green
Contact: info@rcc.myzen.co.uk
Led by: Susan Higham
Phone: 07976 294626
Come and join us on Mortlake Green next to the train station at 10:00 with a 10:15 depart for a ride through Richmond and Bushy Park. The ride ends at the White Cross pub in Richmond where we will meet up with other local borough groups. The route will be mainly on road with some towpath and is suitable for all bikes. If you can make the ride but not the pub (or vice versa!) that's fine. We should reach the pub around 12:00.
Merry Christmas!!
