Cycling Hit a wing mirror in rain, am I at fault?

It's a dark rainy, slippery night, and as I pulled up to a stop I hit the left wing mirror of a car that was close to the curb (even though the street had designation for a cycle lane from what I could see). The glass of the mirror came agar so the driver flagged me down for my details, which I gave. Am I at fault or will insurance take weather conditions of roads and poor visibility into account? And what should I reasonably expect to happen next? Any advice or testamonials from past experience would be much helpful...even if only to know that it's happened to others. Thanks Y.

Cycling Nonprofit/Charity Web Design

Hello!

My name is Kristina and I am currently a graduate student in the UK studying social anthropology. I am working to complete a study on client-web designer relationships in the nonprofit arena, and I am in search of a London based charity/nonprofit that is in need of a full website or redesign willing to participate. I came across this, as I am specifically interested in finding a nonprofit that deals with cycling. If there are any interested parties, please email me and I can provide further details of my proposed research as well as links to my portfolio and CV.

Thank you!

Cycling stolen black brompton mtype 3 speed postcode E2

My black brompton m type 3 speed was stolen between 6- 9.30pm last night (15th December) outside the Perseverance pub on Goldsmith Row, just over the bridge from Broadway Market. They didn't get the front wheel so chances are if you've seen a bike advertised and the front wheel is remarkably different than the back then its stolen. Its an older model with lots of scatches on the back of the bike, the back red light does not work. there was a reflector missing on the back wheel. Sounds like a mundane description i apologise but any suspicions or ideas for me, please do get in touch.
Many thanks.

Cycling What bike? Any ideas?

Hi

I have been commuting to work into the city for six months now and really enjoy it .... and I have a new butt! ;O) I am looking to upgrade my bike to something a bit faster that what I currently have so I guess a road bike is the way forward as opposed to a hybrid? In those bike envy moments at the lights and such like, most people seem to have these. Currently I am using a Halfords Carrera Crossfire 1 Mens bike, which to many reading this would be like driving a pram by comparison. so any ideas and what I need to spend would be very cool indeed.

Cycling Cycling Training Partner

Hi,

I’m looking for a cycling training partner to help with the tough winter miles.

I train almost every Wednesday eve (Regents Park – 20 to 25 miles) and very early Saturday mornings (St Albans & beyond - 40 to 50 miles round trip and aiming higher). I have to get out early on Saturdays as I’ve got a family and they demand entertainment on the weekends. I’m normally on the road around 6am on Sat mornings

I’m 42, not very fit & not fast and it doesn’t come easy to me, but I grind out the miles and eventually achieve my goals. I live in West Hampstead.

If you’re looking for someone to ride out with and you’re reliable & don’t take yourself too seriously (no cycling fashion victims please!) drop me an email or phone me. No weirdo’s please!
