Summary

The Guardian's bike blog is one of the most vibrant and visited sections of the newspaper's website. Here, the world's cycling community posts news, views, rants and raves, as well as top tips on everything from cycling in spectacles to how to confound the bicycle thief - soon to be coming to a bike rack near you. Riding without brakes - lunacy or lifesaving? What's the etiquette when cycling in a skirt? Just how much bike can you get for seventy quid? From the sublime (riding by moonlight on a summer solstice) to the ridiculous (a certain celebrity chef finding it amusing to drive cyclists off the road), Cyclebabble is the truest, funniest and most useful cacophony of voices on cycling there is.
