  I've used a variety of things, I'll try to give you a roundup.

  Rear seat - I used a Halfords one that you can clip off. kids always liked it and it was fairly convenient.
  Trailer - Got one off ebay, about £30, kids love it, still enjoy it now, but is cumbersome and useful in quite specific situations.
  Tag along - Also off ebay, about £50, son enjoyed it, daughter used to fall asleep on it, have used it to commute in London a couple of times.
  Recumbent Tag along - Second hand £85. Daughter has mainly used it, loves it doesn't matter if she falls asleep, wife not keen, wont let me use it on the road under any circumstances.

• Velo Park Post Olympics

  Went to the 'pay and ride' session on Sat. There were a couple of guys doing laps and a few parents with their young kids, but pretty empty really.

  The session goes from 4 - 9pm and you can ride as much as you like. Sounds crazy, but could do with a few more people as I got a bit bored going round an empty 1 mile course for an hour. Will head back in a couple of weeks and see what it's like.

  How strict are they on helmets, ie using your own?

• Cycling Scotland

  Read about that on the BBC site.

  http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-25926572

  Absolutely outrageous and clearly based on prejudice against cyclists rather than anything legitimate.

  Is there any way for the public to complain against such a decision?

  Everyone's going mental about it (ASA decision) on twitter, might be worth taking a look there.

• Secure home bike storage

  I've a similar question, I have been asked to look into a rack for safe cycle storage in a designated cycle store room in a commercial / residential property. I was looking at a semi vertical bike rack with locking hoop, anyone have any tips or bad experiences of these?

• Get Some F**king Lights

  Anyone got recommendations for LED spoke lights, I think there used to be a thread on this but I can't find it.
