Oh all right, we don't have even the most tenuous connection to the Oscars this week - except to say that it's not the British but the women who are coming - at least to the US national Bike Summit, Elly Blue among them - where she'll be
When I visited Japan at the end of last year, I cycled from the outskirts of Tokyo to Shibuya, taking a route which covered about 50 km. At the end of this ride I noticed that my arms were quite sore. It wasn’t that I had covered a distance greater than I had done on plenty of other occasions, it was that I hadn’t been required to stop anything like as frequently as I would have when travelling the same sort of distance in the UK.

There has been much talk recently of cyclists' ‘Right to the Road’. It is a term often bandied around whenever there is mention of separating cycle traffic from motorised traffic. I am purposely avoiding the term 'segregated' after a discussion with someone who drew parallels with apartheid. I suppose some might think that keeping cyclists to a certain part of the road might make them a second class citizen, but given the choice, I know which I would prefer.
