A small friendly bike shop on the A20 in West Malling where you don't need to wear lycra or ride a carbon hyperbike, although you're more than welcome if you do

Imagine explaining cycling to someone with this picture only. “So they’re on sand? And they carry their bikes?”

For many of us, café stops are sadly not an option right now - all the more reason to bake a simple post-ride treat at home! 🧑‍🍳🏡 Learn how to make the perfect traditional parkin cake from @BankViewCafe, one of last year's #CyclistCafeoftheYear winners: bit.ly/35OipYJ

Born on this day in 1944: Sheldon Brown - the bicycle mechanic whose vast website remains 12 years after his death probably the greatest repository of #cycling maintenance tips and guides ever assembled sheldonbrown.com/

Cars are dangerous, bikes are not. Segregate cars on the streets. Make cars the lowest priority for conveniences and spend. Police the roads so every speeder, killer, dangerous overtaker, has a problem. Then you'll have a healthier, cleaner, happier society.
While the rest of the world wrings their hands over bike safety, the Dutch are quietly—and quite happily—living their lives on two wheels. They are undeniable proof that cycling itself isn’t a dangerous activity; it’s the car-first street design that often makes it so.
