POPSA Stunt Cyclist Takes the Stage Although this is apparently one of the most watched sports videos on Youtube, I hadn't seen it until tonight when I read this article. Most of us will never be able to do the stunts and tricks this guy can do ... but hopefully he can still inspire us to try and do great things. And most importantly ... the video has over 50,000 votes and it's still rated 5 stars. He can do some pretty cool stuff with a bike. Enjoy!

POPSCyclists are not a menace More: You might say that even if we’re not a menace to other vehicles, we’re a menace to pedestrians. But again the figures don’t stand that up. Cyclists make up about 1 per cent of the traffic in London, and they also cause 1 per cent of the traffic injuries to pedestrians – almost exactly in proportion with their numbers. The injuries they cause are also, as you’d expect, disproportionately at the lower end of the scale. The fact is that only a minority of cyclists indulge in the arrogant behaviour towards pedestrians which gets us a bad name. I would have no problem with a motion that says some cyclists are a menace. But tarring us all with the brush of a minority would be like supporting a motion that says Muslims are a menace. It would be outrageous.”

POPSAnne Mustoe: headmistress and round-the-world cyclist (1933-2009)
More: The glimpse of the lone cyclist which inspired her own ambition to cycle round the world came in January 1983. She said it took her four years from that defining moment to screw up her courage, resign her job and cycle into the sunrise, but she calculated that she had no ties, her stepsons were married off, and she could just afford it if she lived modestly until her pension came through.… All her incident-packed journeys were recounted in a warm, accessible, no-nonsense prose in which a wry, understated humour was coupled with indefatigable fortitude, enthusiasm and optimism, making light of robberies, injuries, freak floods, storms, desert heat waves, blizzards in the Rockies and ferocious winds in Jutland and Patagonia — and even of being knocked off her bike by a short-sighted nonagenarian in a Fiat Panda. Mustoe cycled off on her last expedition in May this year, but became ill in Syria. She died in Aleppo (Haleb). RIP, Ms. Mustoe.

POPSHigh-Tech Bicycle of the Future I am an avid cyclist. And I love to ride as often as I can. However, I really can't afford anything like this. We visited the bike store the other day, and the $1000 + prices just about made me fall over. So, I can imagine this one is going to cost a few bucks. But, I think it is an absolutely cool looking bike. And a great concept all the way around. I would love to see it on the road. For me, it would be like seeing a Ferrari drive by.

POPSAdult tricycles - Guess where I found some really good adult tricycles? I've been looking round the shops for adult tricycles at a reasonable cost (I have balance issues) with no luck. When I say the words "adult tricycles" I get a blank look (or sniggers). Guess where I fianlly found a really good range of adult tricycles? At Amazon.com! I never knew they sold things like that. Anyway, I like the look of this one, but there's more adult tricycles there to look at, so check them out

POPS3 wheel trike - my search for a 3 wheel trike at a good price is over! 3 wheel trike found - at last! I've been trying to find a decent 3 wheel trike at a reasonable cost for some time as I have balance issues. Finally found this adult 3 wheel trike at Amazon.com of all places! I never even new they sold bikes and trikes. Seems like good buying and the reviews are pretty good. Think my search could be over. (just noticed that they have another adult 3 wheeled trike, so I now have a choice to make)

POPScycling and helmets Strange but true, The protective effect of bike helmets is much smaller than people realise, according to Cyclist.ie, the Irish national cycling lobby group.

POPSThe design of streets, guidance in the UK A manual has just been produced for town designers. If implemented it will mean that the pedestrian and cyclist are top of the hierarchy in town streets rather than the motor car. Much overdue in my opinion. The cameraman has an unfortunate habit of falling asleep occasionally

POPSmontpeliernakedbikeride. The World Naked Bike Ride is at once an oil-consumption protest and a body-positive event. Bicycle and cyclist awareness in general are also emphasized. In the most basic terms, the WNBR is a mass bike-riding event in which participants are mostly nude. Nakedness serves to draw attention to the cause and to celebrate the human form. It has taken place annually in cities all over the world since 2004. The Montpelier Naked Bike Ride has been run in 2007, 2008, & 2009 will be our third year.

POPSDiscipline for road vehicles Future generations will look back at the way we allow the car virtual free rein and they will wonder. The worm is turning and the pedestrian and cyclist are gradually regaining their space in towns (in spite of dear Jeremy)
