About the author
Geek and nerd Joe D has in the past studied genetics, molecular and cell biology, worked in cancer research, and made contemptuous amounts of money from incompetently composed photographs.

AWWTM: Ceci n’est pas une piste de bicyclette
Sorry, I failed to post much because I’ve been on the road. And sometimes the Sustrans paths. This is a forestry track, NCN 68, Kielder Forest, Northumberland. I hesitate to criticise Sustrans because I know that they are good people, … Continue reading
AWWTM: Fast, direct, uninterrupted and comprehensive
Boris Johnson thinks that he can solve all of the barriers to cycling just by splashing some paint on one or two roads. As anybody who does not cycle could tell him, what is needed if we are to achieve … Continue reading

AWWTM: Crap cycling and walking in Beijing
Over at At War With The Motorist, I look at another of the obvious ill-effects of Beijing’s burgeoning car dependency — the plague of badly parked cars filling the pavements and cycle paths. You can read it here. Also, try … Continue reading
AWWTM: Catch up with recent posts
Last week, a quick dig at crap websites trying to promote discounts for the Rube Goldberg railfares system. And a review of a crap cycle path through Southwark Park. And from the weekend, an exclusive exposure of the leftist conspiracy … Continue reading
At War With The Motorist: Superhighways
On At War With The Motorist, a short review of the London “cycle superhighways”, after a quick go on “CS3″. They’re exactly what you’d expect from the sort of “super” infrastructure that can be installed for pennies within a couple … Continue reading
