Confront your inner Mr Toad
Matt Seaton: I made a serious mistake this morning. Not fatal, obviously, but the kind of mistake that actually might be injurious to health - someone else's, if not mine.
Anyone for bicycle polo?
Matt Seaton: On any given weekend, there could well be more people chasing around a field on a pony trying to hit a ball with a mallet than there are people doing bike races.
Listen to traffic, not your iPod
Just how dangerous is it to listen to music while you ride, asks Matt Seaton.

Matt Seaton: A bike has been my main form of transport for more than 20 years, and most of those have been spent negotiating London traffic. So, I asked myself, what could I possibly learn from a cycle training course?
The pollution premier league
Matt Seaton: You might be forgiven for thinking that smuts went out with steam engines, but they're still with us. You need only cycle through traffic for a few minutes to find the evidence right under your nose. Or rather, right on it.

There’s gold in them hills
