Smithfield Nocturne 2014
Yes, I’m still going through photos I talk last year, but somehow never got around to publishing. For these we go back more than six months for the annual Smithfield Nocturne in Smithfield Market. A few here, and loads more on Flickr.

Cyclo Cross World Cup – Part 2 – Men’s Race
As well as photos of the women’s race I also took photos of the men’s race, the weekend before last in Milton Keynes. Cyclo cross seems to have had something of a resurgence in the UK over the last few years. But then again, so has cycling in general. I’ve been going to the Rapha…

Cyclo Cross World Cup – Milton Keynes 2014 – Part 1
Over the weekend, it was the Milton Keynes round of the UCI’s Cyclo Cross World Cup. It’s the first time a round of this event has taken place outside mainland Europe. So definitely worth a 30 minute train ride up to see it! The event took place on a specially built course in Campbell Park,…

The Helmet Debate
I have a confession to make. On my daily commute, cycling on my Brompton from King’s Cross Station to work, I don’t wear a cycling helmet. Come to that, I don’t particularly “do” high-vis either. I realise to some I must be dicing with death by behaving so recklessly. Part of my reasoning is that…

Jumping the Gun
Over the weekend, there was something of a kerfuffle in cycling circles over some allegations that a cycling company had ripped off someone else’s designs. You can read the story here at road.cc. The accused company, Wiggle (who I’ve bought a decent amount of cycling accessories and clothing from), has responded on Facebook, and have…

Cyclists’ Traits
Hyperlapse Bike Commute from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. [A hyperlapse of my ride home from work on my Brompton. Made taping an iPod Touch to the handlebars of my bike] It’s a relatively common thing to categorise cyclists into different “tribes.” But after many years cycling, including cycling as part of my regular commute for…

RideLondon Women’s Grand Prix
A good criterium race in Central London was won on Saturday by Giorgia Bronzini of Wiggle Honda who just managed to pass World Champion (and all round cycling superstar) Marianne Vos who had to make do with 2nd. Lizzie Armistead got third, with Laura Trott, Eileen Roe and Hannah Barnes all in the mix. See…

Published!
I was chuffed that one of my photos from this year’s Tour de France in Yorkshire was used as a newspaper wraparound this week. So if you’re up in the Dales, do pick up a copy!

Au Revoir Le Tour
The third and final stage of this year’s Tour de France in the UK was the fast(ish) and flat Cambridge to London run. And this time, I actually cycled out to meet the Tour from home. That meant carrying just a small camera, and unfortunately the proof is in the pudding. I entirely missed taking…

More Yorkshire – Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France
This time, I stood on a very long stretch of the Skipton Road as the riders headed out through Harrogate and onto “Cote de Buttertubs.” Here are a few of my favourites. A load more photos on Flickr.
