As an occasional contributor I had wondered about posting on the news that the Encyclopaedia Brittanica is
challenging the results of a Nature study that revealed Wikipedia is as accurate as their weighty tome.
Sure, Wikipedia is written by the man in the street and should always be viewed with Jim Pooley (or was it John […]

It’s a year now since the theft of my Maverick, Fan. She was taken, along with the roofrack she was locked to, from the roof of our car.
The thieves didn’t get away with the front wheel - which now serves duty on one of my singlespeeds.
Turns out that there’s now one other legitimate real-tree camo […]

Actually that second item interests me. It appears to suggest that if all else is equal a 29er is more efficient.
But as we all know all things are not equal.
The conclusion I’ve drawn from reading these two articles together is that other variables, such as suspension design have a larger effect than wheel size.

Symmetry will finally be restored to the car.
There’s no need for the British National Champion, Jenny Copnall, to express her disgust at being scorned by the BCF selectors for the MTB race at the Commonwealth Games. Every cycling forum here in the UK is hot with indignation on her behalf (see, for instance, Singletrack and XCRacer.com).
If she’d been Welsh or Scottish […]

A dogs dinner of links to stuff that we have arranged in an apparently random manner, though I assure you it made sense at the time.

in no particular order...
For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.

If anyone has a full set of NEMBA results (that‚s North of England for you colonial types) then please forward them.
