    Hi, I had punctures on my Brompton until I learnt form a cycle shop that you have to keep the tyres pumped up to at least 6 bar. I haven’t had a puncture since doing that.

    Please take action by June 26th at the latest. It appears that the Valley Park application will be referred to the planning committee soon after that.

    According to its website “UKRI is committed to ensuring that sustainability is ‘embedded in everything we do’”. Making staff at STFC use fossil fuel generating transport doesn’t seem to fit with this statement!

    In response to Dimitris, a friend connected to the police told me that the pice do log all reported incidents. They will build up a profile to assess whether to take action. So while they may not axmct on an isolated incident, they will act on a pattern of incidents. So keep on reporting!

    Hi

    I used it on Monday and this evening. Good tunnel and helpful on the Milton Park side. I was coming form the Didcot direction on the link road cycle path. It is quite hard to get across the link road at rush hour!

    HueyS – Good to have the analysis but let’s not lose site of the prize: we want to promote cycling and this helps to strengthen the argument!

    Causality is always hard to show in this type of study and to claim it would be wrong. However, that doesn’t mean that taking up cycling won’t improve peoples’ health. Also, while you may know a lot of health conscious cyclists, there are a lot who aren’t!

    As for the next study – I am sure the authors will be preparing the proposal as we type…
