They have had a wheel of mine for well over a year and are not responding to phone calls or emails.

I fear that something must have happened, but any information would be useful - if only to recover my wheel!

The initial intention is to publish three or four 'Readers' a year, plus some other related titles that hopefully will be of interest to the same readership.

Thought that you might be interested in The Bicycle Reader (thebicyclereader.com), an eBook magazine of quality writing about cycling – mainly cycle touring – edited by Jack Thurston, of The Bike Show (thebikeshow.net) and Tim Dawson of cycling-books.com.

Sad news indeed.

I phoned up the University of Lancaster's press office and asked them where I could find it. I don't know why search engines are not picking it up.

The actual report is here:

I think that the report from Leeds university about what cycling might be like in 2030 has not yet published.

I am not unsympathetic to the harsh economic realities of running a bike shop. Having now repaired the pedal, I think that someone who knew what they were doing could have finished the job in 15 minutes – assuming that they had the bearing. The bearings, I discovered, are not in the least bit rare o...

Brilliant, thank you all. I have now taken both pedals apart. The bearing on the right pedal has disintegrated. Hopefully a new one won't be too hard to find and I will be up and running again soon. Really touched that so many of you have given this thought and proffered help. My local bike shop adv...

Here it is...

Sorry, no threads are stripped, that I can see, but the pedal has fallen off the axel. I can't tell if anything is missing. I am pretty sure that the bearings are fixed, but whether they are there, or not, I can't tell.

I have a nice pair of Ritchey spd pedals, with titanium axels that are now around 15 years old. Yesterday one of them stripped out and the pedal detached itself from the axel. I would prefer to get them fixed, than replace them. Does anyone offer this kind of service? All help much appreciated.

I am working on an article for an international cycling magazine about cycle storeage. I am mainly interested in innovatative solutions in new housing, but will also include something on retro-fit solutions (such as Bike Vault and the Trimtals bike store). Any pointers would be really helpful. I wil...
