Cycling gloves are more than just an accessory; they're a critical part of your gear. Designed for grip, comfort, and protection, the right gloves can greatly enhance your ride.

The World Naked Bike Ride aims to raise awareness about cycling safety and oil dependence, promoting a lighthearted yet impactful protest through nudity and creativity.

The idea was to protect cyclists, but also to try and bring joy to the street, said Luke Tozer, director at Pitman Tozer Architects, which helped create the wands.

"Research shows that helmet laws lead to a decline in bike-share use, which also harms public health; increased ridership increases cyclist safety."

"A customer here said they went through a puddle and then hit a pothole they couldn't see. It totally messed them up. They had to go to the hospital."

The ruling allows the Department of Transportation to proceed with a bike lane in Blissville, crucial for community safety and improving cycling conditions in the area.

Critics claim that the move is dangerous because citizens can acquire a criminal record for simply riding a bike: 'This crackdown is very dangerous because it's putting New Yorkers at risk of arrest, jail and deportation for riding a bike,' says Charlie Baker.

Vine stated, "I’m stopping my cycling videos. The trolling just got too bad. They have had well over 100m views but in the end, the anger they generate has genuinely upset me."

People who behave like that are not welcome on the race as far as I'm concerned. Cycling is a sport where you can get close to the athletes and that makes us unique compared to many other sports.

As recently as February in an interview during the Volta ao Algarve, Vingegaard spoke about how he would not let his children be professional bike riders. He laid the blame for crashes jointly on riders - "Too many race as if there are no brakes on a bike" - and in the case of the Itzulia, partly on organisers "for sending us down a road with tree roots underneath it."

Flanders Classics is prioritizing rider safety by deploying over 130 stewards along the Tour of Flanders route to manage crowds and prevent unruly behaviour.

A Lime bike rider was injured in a collision on Park Lane, highlighting ongoing safety concerns for cyclists in London amidst increasing e-bike usage.

"Now we have riders at the hospital, maybe two, one for a collarbone and other elbow. It's really damaging that a rider takes risks like this."

Chris Froome mentioned, 'At some point, I think we're maybe going to have to even have the discussion about limiting the progression of technology in the sport to accommodate for the safety aspect.' He highlighted the need for discussions around the implementation of limits on bicycle gearing to enhance safety in high-speed racing conditions. As speeds in the peloton continue to rise, Froome is advocating for meaningful changes to ensure rider safety.

The technology called 'CycleSafe' aims to gather crucial data by documenting vehicle passes close to cyclists, helping to promote safety and uphold justice.
