Pumpkin.jpgHundreds sign up for Halloween 'Bikepocalypse' ride in London
Pedalling poltergeists, cycling spectres and velo-loving vampires will take to the streets of London on bicycles tomorrow evening, with hundreds of cyclists signing up on Facebook to a free Halloween-themed ride billed as 'Bikepocalypse.'
Organised by the website ibikelondon.com - which comes from the people behind Cyclehoop - 300 people have said they will attend the ride, meeting outside BFI South Bank at 6pm for a 6.30pm start.

The ride will cover around 19 miles at what is described as an "easy" pace, and will take participants across the heart of the capital from Hyde Park in the west to Limehouse in the east.
If you go along, don't forget to upload your pictures to social media with the tag #mycyclingweekend - we'll have a round-up of the best Halloween-themed ones on Monday.

And if you can't wait till tomorrow, London's monthly Critical Mass leaves from the same location at 6.30pm this evening.

All good - but as usual a vote for a complete change of mindset. "Vision zero" can be a good, well defined program but I think a lot of the time...
The protesters say there was never a traffic problem on most of these roads and that the scheme so far has only created problems, including...

Nice team too. 11th overall! I didn't pick Narvaez...
No, "for balance" they'll have the Association of Bad Drivers on / some other "I'm in favour of cycling, but..." folks!...
That only covers total rainfall, though. My (quite possibly erroneous) understanding, is that, while the trajectory is for more in total, it's also...

I ride quite a bit in Italy too, and the drivers are every bit as dangerous as in the UK. Close passing is terrible....
That's probably the point - they don't want you to have the standard colour scheme - they want you to pay for a custom one.
There's no way this design is lighter than a conventional design of equivalent strength.
