I love cycling & want to support more people to get out & ride! Road cycling can be intimidating so let's break down barriers, ask questions & have fun!

Many clubs now banning 'the froome' and such like. Too dangerous a position. Unnecessary risks when youngsters looking to emulate #cycling https://t.co/dZQykWTUuf

Giro d'Italia introduces Best Descender contest - but will it encourage riders to take too many risks? https://t.co/QllpuccAZS #cycling

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

In this climate, 9% pay rise is not to be sniffed at. The benefits of riding to work just keep on growing! #space4cycling https://t.co/PQY4dmOEb6

[Cycling Weekly @cyclingweekly]

Using a bike instead of a car for short journeys gives 'the equivalent of a nine per cent pay rise' | https://t.co/Pna4T8DFyR

Cannot believe the decision this year. One of few events progressing visibility and parity. #4yorkshire https://t.co/0MG4y09jPR

[Tour de Yorkshire 🚴 @letouryorkshire]

Who'd like to see @UCI_cycling give us permission to have a 4 day @letouryorkshire next year (including a 2 day Women's race)? #4Yorkshire

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

Be alert, ride safe and please drivers, pass with care. It's never worth it. We're people too #cycling #respect #staysafe https://t.co/n9UmiWPvpp

It’s been a very difficult past four weeks for the cycling community. Hard to fathom, really. Stay safe out there, everyone.

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

@tommyj76 It's not mine either! The scenery is great down there. Youll love it.

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

@tommyj76 I'm doing that one! There's about four good climbs in the beast. Will be great 😜

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

@tommyj76 The best climbs are not really in the forest. There are a couple of little lumpy bits but I'll send you some strava segments later tonight 😉

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

@tommyj76 Hi tom. This is one very short, but from a down hill so difficult to get the right gear for going back up.

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

Bank holidays rock! It's been a while. #Blissford #newforest #wall #cycling

If Jason Voorhees made bikes #cyclingfail #diskbrakes https://t.co/Fn0zdnnXHq

[BikeRadar @bikeradar]

It's official: disc brake guards are happening | https://t.co/h8OJItWaZu

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

There remains a gulf in attitudes & support around men & women #cycling at the highest levels of the sport. Hardly inspiring for youths. https://t.co/nYAsAo4m5l

[Chrissie Wellington @chrissiesmiles]

@BritishCycling are tailoring coaching advice to women. In the most patronising way possible.

[Neal Rogers 🇺🇦 @nealrogers]

Looks like Tom Boonen is settling well into retirement https://t.co/bCikySkik3

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

How about we just stop outdated gender stereotypes on podiums period? #cycling #genderequity https://t.co/4MFVw4Y53O

[l’echappe @echappe_]

Opinion: Using podium boys for women's races isn't cute, it's patronizing | CyclingTips https://t.co/vJ2d3PlpjS

[Michael Hutchinson @Doctor_Hutch]

Seems ridiculous that we have junior #parisroubaix but can't overcome inertia and logistics for a women's race. (And junior women's.)

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

Great article....If I had a pound for every time I've been told I should pay #roadtax! I'd have enough for another bike 🤦🏻‍♀️ #cyclingmyths https://t.co/k9hnu0VV5S

[cycletoworkday @cycletoworkday]

Myths about cycling abound among non-cyclists. Here are some rebuttals. https://t.co/u1aEnsOVRY

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

So very true. A little good morning doesn't make you any less cool. https://t.co/9D6I69F2HB

[Matt Lieto @mattlieto]

Your exercising isn't as serious as you think it is. Smile, wave, or maybe go find a treadmill!

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

Such a great rider. #Cyclist are such vulnerable road users #drivers passing too close when the other lane is clear is too common a sight. https://t.co/qPemuWGLGT

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

4.30 alarm 😮 for the two hour drive this morning to @plumptonraces for @cyclingweekly @ukcyclingevents hope the wind stays away #cycling

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

There's nothing better than @TheNewForestUK when the sun is out #cycling #newforest

[New Forest Roadie @TryRoadCycling]

Head to Yorkshire moors to knock off 3 more @100Climbs and get flu. Obviously 🙄 #cycling
