38 online now!
The
evolution of, and addition to, citycycling continues
apace. We might be falling behind on our videos (we
can blame two loose mounting screws for that one)
but this issue sees us launch our RSS feed. If you
don't know what that is, well, we hadn't really used
them till recently either. But it's a great way to
keep in touch with what's happening, and means you'll
know as soon as a new issue is online if you subscribe
to it (which can generally be done through any email
or internet facility). We'll be notifying the new
issues, together with detailing some of the main articles
we have inside each month.
Next
month we're planning a Podcast. Citycycling is finally
moving into the 21st century!
But
to this issue, grand old number 38. And we've got
a couple of new correspondents to crow about. Firstly
there is the legendary Jacquie Phelan, mountain biker
extraordinaire, who has agreed to let us dip into
her mind for thoughts; and another we're hoping will
become permanent, James Straffon from NÖ Endeavour,
who this month has detailed a charity ride from London
to Cambridge.
For
my part I've been riding in London for the first time,
and it was a bit of an odd experience creating a few
mixed emotions. This is all while just about managing
not to be knocked down by a swerving driver closer
to home, and reporting him to the police (another
first). We've also been talking to Brian Palmer, the
man behind the Washing Machine Post (trust us, it's
brilliant).
And
if you're looking for some inspiration to get out
on the bike whenever you can, Graham shares his '31
days of bike', an illustrated diary of riding every
day in a month. In amongst that little lot are all
the usual stuff, like the bike of the month (an unidentified
old green thing); Professor Dawes carrying on his
quest; the brilliant citycycling Flickr gallery; a
how to... guide on staying fresh at work; madam raven
dispensing some more free advice; the caption competition;
the numbers game; the store... There are 38 pages
of goodness right there (to match the issue number...).
What
better way to pass a morning at work?
