One mode of transport which causes more concern for city drivers than any other is bicycles. Not buses, not huge articulated lorries, not tractors, just those small two wheeled machines propelled by human legs which are so often the bane of a drivers journey in the city. Speaking to a cyclist whose job involves cycling around busy city streets all day gives us an insight into their day to day life and their ongoing battle with cars...
How much do you cycle in the city?
I cycle everywhere; my job requires me to be constantly on the move around the busiest parts of town. I really love to cycle, and enjoy the fact that it is environmentally friendly, good for my health and allows me a sense of freedom which I don't think you get with a car...especially in a congested city.
What is your relationship like with cars?
I am a driver too so I know how cyclists can cause frustration, but in general I think that there should be equality amongst all road users. I find that as long as you show respect to cars, then they will show respect to you. However, the fact that cars find being stuck behind a bike difficult is one which more cyclists should bear in mind. It is easy to forget what it's like to be in a car when you are cycling and often cyclists can forget how easily they can make a drivers life easier by just choosing a more accommodating line on the road.
What sort of bike do you ride?
When I started this job I just had a cheap kids bikes, but now I prefer hybrid bikes as they allow me to make better progress along the road. I still have BMX grips and BMX pedals though just to keep me close to my stunt roots.
What do you think the future holds for cycling?
I think that cities will become more bike friendly as it is a very efficient mode of transport. With the number of roads increasing it is going to become harder and harder to get around in a car quickly. Just a little bit of investment, like that spent on the new London city bike scheme, will get more people into cycling especially as the number of cheap road bikes available is increasing everyday.

If You Are Serious About Cycling You Need The Proper Shoes
When you start running, you get running shoes, right? And when you play basketball you wear basketball shoes. Golfers wear golf shoes, and tennis players wear tennis shoes. Cycling is no different. There are a number of shoes made for bike riders and plenty of shoes that aren't specifically made for bike riding but work well, nonetheless.
Most people can get by riding their bikes wearing almost any kind of athletic shoes. Tennis, basketball, running, cross-training, etc. will work just fine for the average rider. As long as they have a good sole on them they'll be fine. It's important to wear shoes with a good grip because you don't want your feet to slip and knock your shins off the pedals, which can hurt pretty bad and cause you to wreck and do even more damage to yourself. Another thing to consider is the stiffness of the sole. A relatively stiff sole allows you to keep more of your foot in contact with the pedal, which, in turn, gives you more power. Shoes made for skateboarding are especially well-suited for the recreational rider, as well as BMX riding and freestyling.
Will you be doing most of your riding on the road or off? This is an important consideration as it will affect your choice in shoes. If you're going to be doing a lot of mountain biking then you should wear relatively sturdy shoes with rugged soles. A solid pair of skateboarding shoes will usually work pretty well for this kind of riding, but you should also consider light hiking boots or trail-running shoes. These are good for mountain biking because they provide above average traction, are sturdily built, and are often water-resistant, which can come in handy when you're blasting though mud puddles.
If you're an avid or competitive cyclist, then you're probably already familiar with the most popular sort of shoe for this kind of riding. Professional-grade cycling shoes feature clips on the bottom which lock into specially made pedals. A quick flick of the ankle will release the shoe, but they're held firm during normal riding so your feet don't lose contact with the pedal, which robs the racer of precious power. Clip-on shoes allow you to generate power as your feet are pushing down and raising up, which is quite an advantage over regular shoes. Clip-ons are not generally recommended for mountain biking because you frequently have to take your feet off the pedals to deal with difficult terrain.
Cycling is a great way to get into shape. It's easy to adjust the activity to each rider's level of fitness and interest. If you're just getting into cycling you already know that your choice in equipment is important. Don't forget that what you wear while riding is important, too. Part of that consideration are your shoes. A good pair will serve you well and help keep you from getting hurt.

does anyone think this is totally retarded?
okay so DK bicycle co. just fired chris doyle this week for those of you who dont know hes a pro bmx rider and he got fired from dk for starting a company that makes only grips and tires when dk only makes 2 pairs of grips how freakin retarded is that he was th best person on th team too and now they just fire him outa nowhere with a stupid reason
It's called a conflict of interest. How can he be an employee and competitor at the same time? He may use info from DK at his own company and dip in on their profits. Would you want your competition knowing all your secrets? I think not. They made a wise business decision-- that's all.
