I have a sort of a resolution for 2025. It’s simply to do more of my riding outside, in the actual outdoors, in three dimensions. I’ve grown very comfortable with Zwift (and similar online platforms), and I like the convenience. But more than anything else, riding outdoors has come to make me a bit nervous. Even a little scared. Cycling feels like a dangerous way to spend your time.

Someone at my friend Bernard’s place of work recently pointed out to him that the bike shop round the corner had closed. “I suppose cycling’s just not cool anymore,” she said. “I heard that someone was going to open a paddleboard shop. I think that’s more what cool people are doing these days.” The story made me laugh.

Not far from where I used to live in London, there was an e-bike shop. It shut a while ago after a bus crashed into it, which I suspect was an attempt to cut the supply of cyclists off at the source. The bikes in the window of this shop, before they were hit by a Number 19, very rarely looked like bicycles. Usually they were pretty substantial looking, fat-tyred, with a motorcycle style saddle.

Bikes have got better in the last decade or so. Better, that is, in the fairly objective senses that they weigh less, they go faster, and they cost miles more than they used to. Whether you really needed your bike to be better in these ways is, of course, completely up to you.

Our world is more unstable today than it has been in decades. Conflict in the Middle East is escalating, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is nearing its third year, and China is intensifying its push for Taiwan’s “reunification” and control over trade and technology. Many of the tacit assumptions that leaders rely on to maintain order are no longer guaranteed. This instability affects key aspects of American governance — from national security and foreign policy to trade and manufacturing.

Once, long, long ago as I cruised around London’s Richmond Park, a rider had the temerity to overhaul me. He settled alongside for a moment to say hello, because it was in the days when London cyclists had not yet perfected their total indifference to each other. l Multiple national champion on the bike and award-winning author Michael Hutchinson writes for CW every week“What’s that on your crank, mate?” he said, pointing down. “It’s a power meter.

I had a problem recently. A friend placed just inside the top 10 in his category at the Gravel World Championships. I got out my phone to send him a text, and realised I had no idea what to say. It was worse than his result last year. It was better than his result the year before. I knew he’d been struggling a bit for form this year, but he reckoned he’d had a good run-in to the event. I didn’t really know what he was expecting, and hadn’t had the foresight to ask him.
