Here?s a chance for those who cycle on the London roads to list your thoughts and view the candidate transport manifestos. It seems Jenny Jones from the Green party is the most impressive candidate for cycling policies. Londoners are been encouraged to join the Big ride on the 28th April to tell Johnson and Livingstone that they must create safe and inviting space for cyclist pretty much the Holland model View the mayoral candidate?s transport manifestos here I have listed Jenny Jones manifestos as it is the best for cyclist in London but you can few the other candidates below.

There are always indicators in life that that tell you that a particular industry is doing well and the fact that WD40 has entered the cycling market with its Anti friction dry ptfe and Fast acing degreasers is a shore case of telling you cycling is on the up. I wonder why cycling is doing so well? In UK and London were I am it is booming with more and more bike shops opening on every street corner. It reminds me of the mobile phone boom when there was a mobile phone shop on every street corner then big business got in Involved and then disappeared the small independent shops. Cycling is differently on the up you could say I am a product of that I am out at least three times a week racing against me self trying to beat the time I did last time I was out on my bike, or in the winter I am on the turbo trainer even this blog is a result of the cycling boom. You just need to look and the number of cyclist in Richmond Park on any given Saturday or Sunday morning or the huge numbers using TFL super highways every weekday rush hour to see how popular cycling has become.
I wonder how many cyclist have felt the same way as I do about entering a bike shop the feeling that they do not want you there or the view you as an other idiot that has not got a clue, well at least the impression that I get when walk into some of the bike shops. I remember when I was looking for my second road bike I went to Evans cycles as they let you have a quick ride for a one pound deposit taken of your credit card, I was greeted by a young girl that was no more than 4 years old or at least she had about that amount of knowledge about bikes, this was totally of putting she had to keep on asking a senor sales assistant if the bikes that I was interested in were in stock you would have thought she would have known or at least be able to use the shops computer to find out. The 2nd bike shop I went to never had no time and thought I had only come there to waste there time at least that?s the impression I got. The third shop was more than helpful, I stood there talking to a friendly assistant that knew quite a lot about bikes they had in stock and asked me what I was going to use the bike for and went about explaining about the advantage of a stiff of bottom brackets, and what groupset would be best at the budget I had in mind etc. Guess from whom I brought my bike from ?Exactly? it called customer service.
