Normann Copenhagen

May 10 Cycling

A new bike from renowned Danish product design brand Normann Copenhagen. Single speed, north road bars, hub brakes, a sure nod to the Guvnor. Though perhaps not to everyone’s taste, there’s plenty to admire.  More details and pictures on Yatzer

Attention

May 10 Guvnor

A Bentley foregrounds Farlows of Pall Mall, the great country department store. But which gets the attention of passers-by? Neither of course: there happens to be a Guvnor chained to a post between the two.

Santa Barbara Cycle Chic

May 10 Guvnor

With British Spring on momentary refusal, these timely photos from a fashion show in Santa Barbara might warm the cockles, or tickle them at least.

Election Media Special

May 10 Noted

In these disconcerting days of transitional Government, the streets of Westminster have been full of interest. Media everywhere, onlookers, security, police, helicopters, bookies, hustlers and even the odd politician. I’ve been too busy to dawdle much, but got a few snaps for the record.

University Bicycles

Apr 10 Cycling

Not Oxford or Cambridge, but Boulder, Colorado. Home of the legendary University Bicycles, a shop visited by tourists and Tour de France winners alike. I found myself stranded in Denver all last week thank to the volcanic ash cloud, and an escape to nearby Boulder proved a refreshing move. An amazing bubble town: Southern California […]

Tweed Run 2010: A Grand Day Out

Apr 10 Cycling

Well it really was a grand day out, and I’m still rather speechless. We are seriously indebted to the organisers, volunteers, marshalls and sponsors of the Tweed Run. We still have many hundreds of photos to sift through and a full ride report is coming later in the week. Plus even more faces to GOC members’ […]

Holiday Special: The Mythical Accessories

Apr 10 Guvnor

Fabled and invisible to date, the Pashley Guvnor accessories hinted at since 2008 have yet to see the light of day. However, movement is afoot. In 2009 Pashley Cycles engaged the creative services of MA Product Design students at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, specifically to design new accessories for the Guvnor.

Mild mayhem at Westminster Magistrates Court, as 3 MPs and a Lord sit inside denying charges of theft by false accounting. Outside, photographers, protestors and police jostle for their rightful position in the unfolding drama. Meanwhile, a passerby takes a shot for the record, and his day is made by the friendly chap in the […]

A chilly day. The pigeon-chasing sparrowhawk of Trafalgar Square takes a break with a meaty snack. He had his eye on the perch of my North Road bars, but the falconer was having none of it.
