Thanks. Will try to take a look this weekend. One day there will be no more road design in London that encourages left hooks.

In the meantime, albert.cheung@cityoflondon.gov.uk is the project manager for that one if you want to let him know your concerns.

Is Museum of London one still like that? LCC trying to get Highbury Corner sorted, the local councillor is on the case too. I'd heard MoL was better but haven't been down there to check yet.

You've probably already seen it but the Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign Q&A on mini-Hollands is very good: https://wfcycling.wordpress.com/mini-holland/

So sorry to hear this, Niall. I hope you've got friends and family around you but to echo pops, if there's anything we can do just let us know.

Here's LCC's take from 2013: http://lcc.org.uk/articles/lcc-lorry-expert-asks-whether-some-new-technologies-could-increase-danger-to-cyclists-not-reduce-it

Cycle Safety Shield - who comment on that article - have been seeing good results from their device which is fitted to the HGV and doesn't require the vulnerable road user (cyclist or pedestrian) to be using a sensor.

ahh I totally missed you! I don't think I was being that patient, they've changed the phasing on that crossing and I was having a massive internalised tantrum about having to wait for five minutes to cross the sodding road. Going via Jamaica next time. Stupid road.

I've tried to go for a run three times since October and given up every time. Going to try and force my body back into it this week. Any tips for people who used to be quite happy running 12 miles but have lost all muscle and gained a stone of flab in the last few months?

I do this EVERY winter. Next year I am definitely going to do something about it before being in OK shape feels like an impossibly distant dream.

PMed...

Argh totally forgot I was supposed to be doing this and overslept. Hope you had a good ride, lovely day for it.

I am mega unfit - like, haven't ridden my bike* since August unfit - but tempted if people don't mind me holding everyone up. My route to Maldon and back is flat and nice but, er, about 100 miles...

*apart from commuting

I work for a non party political organisation and avoid talking about party politics as an individual in case it's misinterpreted, so won't answer your Q, but this is tomorrow afternoon in Islington and might be of interest: http://www.change-how.com

I work for a cycle campaigning org and every time I tell people I've just met what I do, if they don't cycle already, they say this.

Really delighted by this news.

Hopefully Bruce has been located now but just in case he was last seen in Greenwich town centre near Greggs with a smashed phone. Hope your day improves, Bruce...

Sorry for not being on the ride, looks fun!

I've lost 200g. Hmph.

"Never put wine glass on table, keep in hand (12% reduction in intake"

I imagine eating with one hand would slow you down a bit.

:D

Sadly I don't think I'll be fit enough to ride back this year, unless something miraculous happens to my fitness levels in the next six months.

I petted that cat at the Evening Standard's 1000 most influential Londoners event (he was one, I wasn't). He played it pretty cool but I think he liked it.

Great idea. If we're not touring/I'm not working I'm in. I don't mind riding to Ipswich if they throw a strop at Darsham.

You got further than me, I gave up after the first chapter.

I am trying to read all the books I was supposed to read during my (English lit) degree. Currently on Gulliver's Travels. It is lolsome.

I'd been discharged from physio by that point for good range of motion. Hurrah!

Walking is the only reason I didn't put on loads of weight initially after breaking my collarbone - I started walking 6 miles to work a week after surgery. Unfortunately then it got to December and I decided walking was cutting into valuable time when I could be eating.

I hadn't eaten very much. It's going to be a month of Sainsburys lentil and vegetable soup for lunch (140 calories a tin). Yawn.

Woohoo I am only four kilos fatter if I weigh myself in the evening instead of five!

I ate all of Christmas and am consequently just shy of 5kg heavier than I was at the beginning of December. This means it should only take me a month to lose it, right?

Thanks, that's helpful.
