balancing on your bike, you clever people!

There was something on the television about this a while back. I don't remember the exact details but it was something along the lines that on a bike the human body is constantly trying to fall eithe…

What's this for?

Thank you very much. I guessed it must be something like that but adjusting it seems to make no noticeable difference. TyT

This is a picture of my right brake pull. You can see a small spring loaded screw in the mounting. I am at a loss as to what this little screw is supposed to do. Does anyone know please?

A few words about yourself...

I have returned to cycling after giving up for nearly 20 years following an accident in which I was NOT badly hurt but which frightened me and in particular my new wife. She asked me to give up and I did. About five years ago I found a bike in a skip which I had rebuilt and started to use. My wife did not object too much so I have picked up my interest again. Until the Cycle Friday Project in London I was just doing weekend leisure rides. I now commute into Central London twice a week.

Second time of trying to respond to Cycle Divas comment. I am sorry I am not the provider of a good cycling story. I am of course aware of the damage done to our interest through negative media reports. There are good cycling stories around, but I a…

It's always worth being reminded of the dangers on the road but the thing is, I get rather p***d off with the media jumping on these sorts of bad news stories. When was the last time you read anything good about cycling?? Little wonder that people…

3 ½ cycle commutes this week, this is probably my limit, I feel pretty smug. I saw a lovely new bike and am really tempted - £449 in a sale!

I use this adjustment a lot when teaching children as they often have tiny hands and huge heavy mountain bikes with front and rear suspension. I wish these type of bikes were not the fashion as they stuggle to get up hills with all the weight! Perha…

i had this issue with my old cheap mountainbike... adjusting it didnt do anything... but its meant to. Some bikes I guess arent built to the standards they should be... but thats not really an issue as I have long enough fingers to manage. :P

Hi, It adjusts the amount of reach to the brake lever. If one was to screw it in, then the brake lever would be closer to the handlebar grip. HTH, ATB, Pau

It aint safe out there

I am a South London Cycle Commuter and have just happened on this story whilst browsing. This is just about 1/2 a mile off my commute route.

A cyclist was knocked down and killed after colliding with a skip lorry at a busy junction near Tower Bridge on Tuesday.

The death brings the total number of dead on Southwark's roads to three in three weeks.

The cyclist killed on Tuesday was hit and caught up in

Jim Graham replied to Eric Cox's discussion 'Children and heavy mountain bikes .'

IME the kids don't give a toss about what they ride. It's the ' wanting the best' parents that buy the bike, and then wonder why it lies abandoned, unloved, and broke, propped alongside the garage, rusting away. It was unfit for purpose!
