Cycling is more popular than ever, but still has a long way to go in many respects. There are still too many serious accidents on the roads involving cyclists, and whilst other road users can be blamed for the majority, the born again cyclist has to take some responsibility too. Yes lorries are a massive problem and need tackling, but serious accidents are also occurring with no others involved.
There’s a saying that ‘cycling is the new golf’, and whilst this may be so, it doesn’t mean that you can hurtle along like a golf ball driven into the rough. Country roads and hills in particular need to be treated with respect. Next year we’ll be taking a close focus on cycling safety, at all aspects , including the responsibilities that riders have themselves. In other ways, cycling has still not yet developed to a place where we can all sit comfortably; and I’ll mention in particular the sexism that still exists in some quarters. This may not be a popular view, but Shane Sutton had no right to stay at the helm of British Cycling coaching if any of the allegations labelled against him were true. It’s totally unacceptable in a modern society for ladies cycling to not have equal footing with the men, and for their own needs and concerns to be ignored. They deserve the right to be, well ‘women.’ The freedom and independence of pedalnorth.com allows us to make statements that others may not feel able to, may not want to accept is true, or simply may not agree with. And for us, we see this is our strength, and will continue to be the free thinking voice of the modern cyclists. Enjoy our <strong>Autumn</strong> emagazine, and the articles from around the globe, and have a great time on trail and tarmac, finding your own lifecycle! Robert Thorpe, executive editor
