Want to know why many modern bikes have a sloping top tube? Why Human Powered Vehicle racing technology is growing so rapidly? Cyclorama the book is full of information and history of cycling that even the most knowledgable cyclist will learn something from it.

Cyclorama Book Preview

A must have book for cyclists of any ability or level. With detailed information and great history, the contents of the book is captivating and I can’t wait to see what is included in Volume 2.

The Cyclorama book is available from all good book stores and through their network of Cyclorama book sellers.

Rule 163 of the highway code seriously needs updating. These days cars are much safer than this silly pamphlet would suggest. Even basic cars today have ABS and power steering as standard. These camera cyclists exploit and twist rule 163 to get drivers into trouble, and of couse to make YouTube videos. In this day and age, for cars traveling 40mph or less, I think 1 foot, or say half a meter from the bikes handlebars is more than enough space for a safe pass. The UK roads are for everybody.

Do modern cars make it ok to close pass cyclists?

One thing I love about the community of cyclists on youtube is how we are thinking of new ideas on how to improve our videos, get better shots and keep our selves safe. From forward cameras to reward cameras, picture in picture videos and overlaid speedos. Over the years we have seen pretty much everything.

One youtube user has come up with a new pole mount that gives you the ability to take some amazing shots and you can buy one from him on amazon not exactly a bargain at just under £200.
