The Great Big 'Consultation Watch' Roundup

Posted by Mark Treasure on Sunday 27th of September 2015

This week's roundup continues our theme of 'something a bit different' for the last weekend in the month - this time we're focusing on current consultations, both national and local.

The Great Big Alternative Reality Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 21st of September 2015

Note: This bike blog roundup is brought to you courtesy of rural broadband which more or less collapses when it rains. Unfortunately this meant I couldn't do my usual complete scan of my bike blog feeds this week so some blog posts may be missing - apologies. And a reminder that we're still looking for guest blog roundup volunteers so if you'd like to have a go - maybe with a themed roundup - then please let us know

The Great Big Near Miss Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 14th of September 2015

In case you missed it (did you see what we did there?) the Near Miss project is back for another year; those in the UK are encouraged to sign up (while cyclists in Portland can instead have an app that allows them to give every ride a thumbs up or thumbs down).

The Great Big to Dangerise or not to Dangerise Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Sunday 6th of September 2015

When the annals of UK cycle campaigning come to be written, the great 'dangerisation' debate - whether or not pointing out that building roads that encourage lorries to turn left over cyclists is A Bad Thing, for instance - will hopefully be just one of those quirky historical footnotes, like the War of Jenkins Ear.

The Great Big Academic Roundup

Posted by on Sunday 30th of August 2015

Back in June, we posted a plea for help with compiling the blog roundup. Rachel Aldred is the second blogger to step forward - this time with a themed post. If you've got an idea for a themed roundup or would just like to help out, please let us know.

The Great Big Late-Late-Running Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 24th of August 2015

Apologies for the late arrival of this blog roundup, which was due to my discovery that Center Parcs may be a largely traffic-free cycling paradise (adjusted for being in the UK) but also doesn't have WiFi in the cabins. So, without further ado...

The Great Big Education, Education, Education Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 17th of August 2015

In a quiet week, there was no question what the big bike blog story was in the UK this week - Chris Boardman reminding drivers about the highway code and specifically how to pass cyclists - something which even a motoring website thinks should be a public information film and something which Magnatom hopes

The Great Big Silly Season Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 10th of August 2015

It's August, which means half the world appears to be on holiday, and the other half wishes it was.

The Great Big Riddle Wrapped in an Enigma Bike Blog Roundup

Posted by Sally Hinchcliffe on Monday 3rd of August 2015

Well, this week seemed to be the week of answered, unanswered and plain unanswerable questions in bike blog land - starting with the case of the missing space for cycling on Sherlock's own Baker Street - or perhaps it's no mystery when you realise arch-villain Westminster council is at the root of it - the L

The Slightly Smaller Blog Roundup

Posted by on Monday 27th of July 2015

If you’re wondering why this week’s round up is slightly shorter than usual, let me explain. You may recall a couple of weeks ago that the CEGB asked for volunteers to help write the round up. Well, I contacted Sally last Friday who happened to mention there was an opportunity to write this week’s edition. When I asked how long it usually takes, I was shocked to hear her say eight hours. But then Sally forwarded me the list of UK bike blogs – all 220 of them! As an occasional blogger and avid reader of blogs, I was taken aback that there are now so many.
