Drivers should be the best campaigners for segregated cycle routes
I thought I ought to write to the local paper as Worthing’s enjoyment to drive is soon going to be a thing of the past. Despite the endeavours of the County and Borough Councils cycling will, just as it has everywhere else, come to Worthing. We might not have any cycle routes but we have…
Do you cycle on the pavement?
Do you cycle on the pavement? I do. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my ride home without the fear that it might be my last. West Sussex may lack cycling infrastructure but it has plenty of pavements. You may have noticed that people of all ages and gender are cycling on Worthing’s pavements. Get…
Are you proud to be British?
Yesterday morning I needed all the courage and motivation that I could find. The thermometer read 5°C, the wind was howling and the rain was lashing down. I rolled down the road with it stinging my face to meet my brother. He was late so I took refuge in a bus shelter hoping he would…
Safer roads for Worthing remains a possibility after local County Councillor backing.
Everyday someone says to me that they would like to cycle in Worthing but that they are frightened by the roads and traffic. So, with their and my fears in my mind I attended a jam pack and lively West Sussex County Council CLC meeting for Worthing. CLC is the County Local Committee of our…

Worthing should be a nice place to cycle, walk, live in….
Monday, I was at a meeting to discuss cycle routes for a map to be produced by West Sussex County Council. Looking at and knowing the town, other than the Prom, there are no possible safe cycle routes to be recommended to novices, children and families to ride, however, we did our best to look…
Winter and wet but still worth riding. Endura Photon jacket
This morning I read about the various C2C routes that we have in England. I was inspired. So instead of riding to the shop to pick up my Garmin equipped road machine to record another ride on Strava I went for a cruise on the tourer. Riding over Titch Hill I was not alone, I…
One new cyclist but another is injured
Yesterday should have been a day of celebration. My son was going away to university and he, for the first time ever, said that he wanted his bicycle. It was with joy that I rode it into work to give it a good service. I’ll take it up next week. Many of you with sons…
