Superb day at Bermondsey Street Festival. Gets better each year and that includes our stall which was constantly busy, full of materials (and brownies thanks to Clare), and looked amazing with our new banner, Jane's bike bunting and smiles. The warm weather was a nice addition.

Thanks SO MUCH to all who helped on the stall: Ann, Sue, Jane, Colin, Ruth, Clare, Rebecca O-B, Rebecca L, Vanessa and Matthew from LCC.

CTUK were as ever, marvellous, offering bikes services all day. Thanks go to them. Well worth the fee.

Calling Tweed Fans

In case you hadn't heard, the third annual London Tweed Run will be held on 9 April 2011, from 11:00 am.

This very friendly, easy paced 10 mile ride around the Capital will take in London’s famous sites –– including St Paul’s, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Savile Row –– with a stop for a spot of tea, and ending with a bit of a knees-up out Shoreditch way. Proper attire is expected and the Best Moustache prize is back!

Ride Report from Alan Ball

Thanks to everyone that completed the Locks & Docks ride on Sunday in
difficult circumstances (the weather being just one of them) and to
those who joined us for a short section or who just came by to say
hello

I must have done this ride with Barry 60 - 70 times over the last 6
years, usually as the back marker. I would have given anything to have
been the back marker again on Sunday but it's not to be

Water off a Duck's Back, the innovative waterproof coat designer, is pleased to announce that its British made products are now available in multiple cycling outlets across the UK.

Trains, boats, no planes - how one girl got one bike and two panniers from England to Italy

Fleeing the country for Easter and that wedding, I took myself on a cycle journey from Naples to Sicily but to spice it up a bit made it into a carbon neutral challenge, travelling from London to Naples by train.

It was the sustrans bit that I really wanted to test: the difference between saying ‘bikes allowed’ and it being a genuine policy with facilities and logistics that make it truly viable.

Barry Mason's family wish it to be known that his funeral is set to take place on Wednesday 6 July from 2.30pm at Honor Oak Crematorium.

No flowers please - any donations you wish to make will be split between Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust and Fair Isle Bird Observatory Trust, both of which were close to Barry's heart (if not geographically close to each other).

Dress code - no black, no Lycra, two good locks.

Dunwich Dynamo?

Simple. A turn-up-and-go challenging slightly-scary free-entry overnight on-tarmac just under 120 mile bicycle ride to the lovely lonely Suffolk sea at Dunwich.
