The Great Big Big Ride Bike Blog Roundup

I hope everyone who could make it managed to attend one of the big rides taking place around the country - with reports already in from London (with the view from South London too),

The Great Big Bumper Edition Bike Blog Roundup

Due to illness last week, this is an attempt to boil down two weeks worth of blogs into the already overheated weekly roundup, so apologies in advance for an even more hectic gallop through bike blog land than usual.

Saturday's Pedal on Parliament seems to have kicked off the bike campaigning season with families to the fore, unimpressed by the minister's last minute announcement of more money for education - even those without any children yet consider

The Great Big Pedalling on Parliament Bike Blog Roundup
