Here's some footage of an actual Penny Farthing race in Australia from 2008.

Have a good bank holiday weekend.

Can't go out cycling this weekend? Next best thing...

Have a great weekend all!

Hello all,

We've stumbled across a great resource for cyclist's anywhere who want to save some money by fixing their bikes themselves.

www.madegood.org is a website specifically designed to help you 'do it yourself'. Plus, it's all free.

Check out Carolina Fontoura Alzaga and her incredible collection of chandeliers made only from parts of used bikes!

The brains behind Swedish car giant Volvo have just unveiled their brand new state of the art cyclist detection system.

The system works using a radar in the cars grille linked to cameras in the windscreen and back view mirror. Once a collision risk is detected, the car will sound an alarm and immediately brake. The system can only be installed on brand new models so you won't be able to get it as an add on to your current Volvo system. Plus, it'll set you back almost another £2,000 on top of the price of your new Volvo if you do opt for the detection system.

Apologies for the lack of Fun Friday last week, we were out fighting crime on behalf of cyclists all over the land*.

Have a look at this - and you thought cycling to work was dangerous..

Take care!

*On a train, no wireless signal.

Have a good weekend, maybe get yourselves one of these:

On Saturday 23rd February the 'On Yer Bike for Brain Tumours' fundraising event takes place at The Pilates Studio in Glossop where a team of friends will be spinning from 9am until 9pm to raise money for brain tumour research.

Paul Halfpenny who was diagnosed with a brain tumour 3 years ago, started the 12 hour spinning event in 2012 because the sport had become a key part of his recovery from when he was diagnosed.

In 2012, 'On Yer Bike' raised just under £14,000 and this year they're looking for a minimum for £10,000 again.

Have a great weekend all.
