What a difference a week makes. After an unseasonably mild autumn, the chilly morning commute is back with a vengeance. We've given away these dhb merino long-sleeved jerseys before, but they're so effective when teamed up with a base layer or outer jacket that this cold snap has inspired us to buy another. They say that cyclists of old...

From next year, all new homes & non-residential buildings, including supermarkets and workplaces, will need to have a charge point installed under new legislation.

A strengthening of UK law means police will be able to more easily prosecute drivers using a hand-held mobile phone at the wheel. It's already illegal to text or make a phone call (other than in an emergency) using a hand-held device while driving. However, next year laws will go further to ban drivers from using their phones to take photos...

It's been a decade since Royal Mail decommissioned its fleet of delivery bicycles in favour of hand carts and diesel powered van drops. It's a shame because other European countries continue to use specially adapted cargo bikes to deliver the mail in a sustainable, healthy and quiet way. If there's a silver lining to the decommissioning of...

It might not look like much in the photo, but we've tested a fair few cycle lights over the years and this has to be our favourite. The Knog Cobber in the largest of its three size options is an outstanding bit of kit. Belting out either 270-lumens, 170-lumens or 50 lumens, a wrap-round design ensures light is visible from angles up to...

How will the driverless cars of the near future recognise and avoid cyclists and pedestrians? It's a crucially important question because while autonomous vehicles will bristle with sensors and cameras, the tech is far from fool-proof when it comes to spotting people and bicycles. Transponders fitted to motorised vehicles will allow them to...
