Mark Beaumont

A short documentary about Mark Beaumont who covered 18,000 miles in 194 days to break the round-the-world cycling record. Amazing stuff!

Surely the ultimate in green transport? Check it out here.

The Walking Bike

Fixed gear Brompton bike

Interesting idea. Found it here and the blog of the guy behind it (who by the looks of things is a purveyor of great cars – nice one) resides here.

My new bike – well new to me anyway..

This is my latest project. An old raleigh road / racer bike which I’m going to turn into a fixed wheel monster. If you don’t know about fixed wheel then check out this guy – he’s cyclings version of the dalai lama. Tomorrow I’m stripping it down to the bare essentials – frame, forks, crank, wheels, handlebars and a front brake. Then I’m on a mission to find a cheap rear wheel. Night.
