We don't care that bicycle caravans will always be a heavier, more expensive and less practical alternative to carrying a tent. In fact, we love the idea so much we built the whimsical model pictured above - and we earned a Guinness World Record for our troubles. Given the Marmite relationship Brits have with both bicycles and caravans,...

With over half of motorists breaking 30mph speed limits and an estimated 1 million uninsured vehicles on UK roads, law-abiding drivers could be forgiven for thinking UK roads are a hotbed of criminality. With a long list of misdemeanors to choose from, it's hard to whittle it down to 7 motoring mortal sins. How about these for starters?...
