Singer James Blunt urges understanding between cyclists and drivers following a tense encounter involving journalist Jeremy Vine and a delivery van. Vine, however, highlights the dangers of sharing the space, referencing 1,700 annual road deaths.

“I only have one idea in mind: to start Brabantse Pijl”: Remco Evenepoel eyes return to racing at Ardennes classics ahead of Tour de France bid – but admits Giro d’Italia is unlikely after dooring crash during training Still searching for a podcast episode analysing the biggest and most bizarre cycling stories of the year, from aero airbags to bike industry woes and dodgy PSPOs? Well, we’ve got just the thing for you…Bike to Bedlam: James Blunt calls for “patience and tolerance” between cyclists and drivers after Jeremy Vine’s latest cycle lane encounter with delivery van – but Vine says “sharing the space results in 1,700 road deaths a...
“Dear Ocado, Cyclists have priority over your vehicles in cycle lanes. Especially when they are on penny farthings. Thanks so much,” Vine wrote. “Maybe try to share, rather than compete, for the space… and a little patience and tolerance would go a long way – especially to the Ocado guy delivering people’s turkeys. Happy Christmas.”And to be fair to Blunt’s “as a cyclist” comment, he did post a photo of himself in March arriving at a gig in Berlin by bike:
“I uploaded this post in a good-humoured way , just because it shows how even segregated space gets encroached on. The more encroachment, the more danger, the fewer people cycle, the more drive, the more danger. At the start of December, Evenepoel suffered fractures to his rib, right shoulder blade, and right hand, as well as torn ligaments and a dislocated collarbone,that he’s “getting better, but slowly” – and that he hopes to resume training on the rollers following a scan on 9 January.“I feel small daily progress. In terms of exercises, I can’t do anything except a little manipulation of my shoulder so that it’s not too stiff,” the 24-year-old world time trial champion said.
“For the moment, my idea is to take part in these four races. I have to. Otherwise, I will miss competition before the Tour de France. If there is a way to add a race to my programme, we will do it but I don't know anything about it at the moment. With this injury, it's a special year and I have to adapt.”Asked about his original plans for a third attempt at the Giro d’Italia, a noncommittal Evenepoel said: “We have to wait and see how the first weeks of training go.
But despite what appeared to be at the very least season-ending injuries, the Danish star miraculously recovered in time to make the start of the Tour de France, where he won a stage and finished second overall to Tadej Pogačar.
His wife Trine Marie then discussed her own reaction to the crash, as the TV images lingered on the site of the crash – a “When I was lying on the ground, I thought that if I survive this, I will end my career,” the Visma-Lease a Bike leader said. “The one I did on Christmas Eve was a Santa sleigh with a reindeer. Santa’s sleigh was west of the city centre, and then the reindeer kind of went into the city centre and zig zagged around there. That was just over 40 miles. It’s quite slow, zigzagging around the city centre, so it took me over three hours.”She continued: “The Believe one I did on Boxing Day was inspired by the Polar Express golden ticket. I drew the rectangle for that first.
WorldTour points-chasing Astana confirm controversial decision to drop sprinter Gleb Syritsa to development team following signing of Chinese climber Haoyu Su “It’s no secret that the team’s main goal in 2025 is to secure enough ranking points to retain the WorldTour license,” Vino said this morning in a statement.
However, dense fog meant MVDP and his private jet were diverted to another airport, 60km away, meaning the poor fella had to make do with an extra hour’s drive to the venue. It’s tough being the world’s best cyclocross rider, no wonder he looked a bit sluggish on that first half-lap… > “His training’s started well”: Tadej Pogačar obliterates famous Strava KOM – with help of lightning-fast UAE Team Emirates train – during 205km, five-and-a-half-hour winter ride
1) A local street has completely separate cycle paths *. BUT at every side road the footway and cycle path give up. Result is not just that cyclists need to yield when on a direct"through route" but of course people park as close as they can to the entrances - often directly across the cycle path crossing, double-yellows or no...
If its a roadway open to the public, training is no excuse for bad manners - especially when it's treating other cyclists like shit.While I have all the sympathy for Jezza and his mad bike, also, that van was in that position for a good long haul up the cycle lane. I encounter this a lot in one of the Glasgow cycle lanes where the give way line is inside the cycle lane and everyone creeps forward for a better launch into the traffic.
b) You've said what you would do. That is fair and thanks for making the extra effort to report people. .actually do? Our police forces already have a policy of"very occasional road policing". We know what that does. What does adding an extra handful of actioned * reports per year achieve? It makes the cycle path pointless and more dangerous than the road. So, in most cases I'll ignore any cycle infrastructure and ride in the road.
