A fitness enthusiast is attempting to break a world record by cycling non-stop on a static-bike for 280 hours. Paul Magor started the challenge on New Year's Eve at the Worle Centre Gym in Somerset and aims to raise £10,000 for Weston Hospicecare in the process. The current Guinness World Record stands at 277 hours. Mr Magor said the first few days were "difficult" and "uncomfortable" and explained he has to be wheeled to the toilet because his legs "seize up" when he walks.

People are "frightened" by unregulated speeding cars on a busy stretch of road, a resident said. Roy Egan, who lives in north Bristol near Cribbs Causeway, spoke to BBC Radio Bristol about the situation on the A4018, which runs up to the mall. He said motorists can do "whatever speed" they liked, due a lack of enforcement caused by poor signage in the area. South Gloucestershire Council said there had been "some confusion" about road signs in the area, adding it was "working to resolve this".

A mother whose baby was stillborn says a special cot which allows parents time with their baby after they have died helped her process her loss. Olivia Cadwallader was 36 weeks pregnant when she stopped feeling any movement from her baby, Amelia. She has now raised £2,000 to fund a new cot for a Bristol hospital so other parents can also benefit. "It gave us a couple of days extra with Amelia to make memories," said Ms Cadwallader.

Bristolians are being asked for help solving a mystery involving the iconic neon sign of the former Mauretania pub. It was first erected by vintner Ronald Avery in 1939 after he fitted out the building with interiors from the famous ship RMS Mauretania. Now the owners are keen to know the exact movement of the waves and steam on the image of the luxury liner. It was the first moving sign in the city when it was put up in the 1930s.
