More and more riders are buying a workstand for the shed, and for taking with them to events: it makes tinkering with the bike that much easier. The Sports Mechanic stand from Feedback Sports sits second from bottom in their range and is a good compromise: sturdy enough to cope with years of shed-based fettling, light and portable enough to sling in the car for the next sportive.

Car-driving students and their lecturers are the targets of a new campaign in Nottingham to get more people cycling.

The 'Do Something Different' campaign, launched by Sustrans, is aimed at both the city's universities and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Cornerstone of the initiative is an online pledge to change travel behaviour by cycling.
