Riders collide on London cycle superhighway (video)

London commuter cyclist and helmet camera user 4ChordsNoNet has published the moment he  captured footage of a collision on one of the capital's busy cycle superhighways.

Riding on the CS3, on what looks like the section under Blackfriar's Bridge, the rider is passed by another who soon after causes a collision.

The overtaking rider is forced wide by someone on a Santander hire bike and rides head-on into the cyclists coming the other way.

In the description below the video on YouTube, 4ChordsNoNet implores people to slow down and take more care when using the cycle infrastructure, and notes that: "What was very worrying was that one of the cyclists travelling in the opposite direction ended up on the main carriageway.

"Fortunately for him the phasing of the lights meant that the traffic had been held back, otherwise we could have been talking serious or fatal injuries."

Danny MacAskill is back with a new video, and this one is a slight departure from his usual edits. He catches a steam train to the countryside, and rides a combination of standard trials, single track and even emerges from a massive puddle.

Fun to watch, and no doubt ride, this is another great outing for the Scottish trials star. The out takes at the end are good, too.

Cyclist helps confused car enthusiast

On an unopened part of the new network of cycle lanes, car enthusiast and long-ago presenter of Top Gear Quentin Wilson has ruffled feathers with a misleading tweet about the lack of bicycles being ridden on the segregated cycleways.

Taken at face value, the obvious answer here is that - as anyone who's ridden in London will know - cycling is so much more efficient in terms of journey speed and space occupied that any number of riders could have got through the last green light while the cars on the right would have barely moved.

As perfectly summed up here:

Besides, it later transpired that all was not as it seemed in Wilson's photograph anyway, as Twitter user Londonneur pointed out in this helpful video:

Warning: video contains (wholly unnecessary) swearing

Holy Crit VI took place on an 800 metre circuit in Singapore for riders on fixed gear track bikes, in an event similar to the Red Hook Crit which takes place in a number of cities around the world.

Fast, frenetic racing on the low-lit streets of the city-state looked like a great spectacle for onlookers. However, it's since been reported that the organisers have received short custodial sentences and hefty fines after they failed to gain written permission from the police ahead of the event.

Eric Khoo Shui Yan and Zulkifli Awab were each handed a seven day prison term and ordered to pay S$5000 (£2868), after pleading guilty to charges under the Road Traffic Act.
