You can’t out-run, or even out-cycle a bad diet…
When it comes to our bulging western waistlines, there's a lot we can learn from the diets of other nations. Whilst we can learn how not to do food from the USA, over in Japan there's so much we can, ahem, take away from the way they live.
Social Media…
I have long had a love-hate relationship with social media. It is a tool, particularly for websites such as this, but it can too easily become a distraction. It is far too easy to spend hours staring at your facebook or twitter timelines and not realise where the time has gone.

In a sea of cycling magazines focused on selling expensive bikes adorned with the latest incremental tweak, to people who already have bikes, Boneshaker was a breath of fresh air.
“Business as usual”
Whilst our 9-minute opus on Ethical Investing may have landed like a balloon made from almonds, it seems as though Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank Of England; François Villeroy de Galhau, the governor of Banque de France; and Frank Elderson, the chair of the Network for Greening the Financial System, were of the same mind.

The School run: How Ysgol Hammadryad is transforming pupils’ commute…
At the April 2019 Cardiff Cycle City meeting, Dafydd Trystan came to talk to us about some of the work they have been doing down at Ysgol Hammadryad to foster an active travel culture.
Cardiff is the first UK city to offer nextbike on prescription…
Just when you start to wonder if the message is starting to get through; if the amazing health, environmental and financial benefits of cycling are starting to hit home, this news breaks...
Deals, Offers and an update – April 2019
