Stick that in y'pipe and smoke it.

A correspondent has accused us of 'irresponsibility and setting a bad example' by showing some cyclists without helmets. We have told him helmet wearing is a matter for individuals themselves, having in mind the range of ways people cycle. This website aims to celebrate cycling as a joyful activity not as something requiring the donning of protective armour at all times. We do not see ourselves sitting in judgement of folk enjoying one of the really good things in life.

It gives us great pleasure therefore to feature Neil Moran, retired Daily Express journalist, clearly enjoying his version of sublime pleasure. Our photographic policy will remain unchanged.

Overcoming Visual Disability in Tandem:

Paula and Gwyn Roberts live in Llanberis, Gwynedd. Gwyn has a genetic eye condition known as Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy. He and Paula are determined it will not prevent them enjoying their cycling life together. Recently they acquired a Thorn tandem.

Seen here at Felinhelli, near Caernarfon, they are checking the course of a 50 mile Audax event the following weekend. The route includes Lon Menai, and Lon Eifion, and is organised by a Llanberis pastor.
