Hello, my name is Stuart Brown and I am, amongst other things, a cyclist. Angry Cyclist is one of my blogs, and as the title suggests, I plan to cover some of the trials and tribulations of being a cyclist in the UK.
However, in spite of the title this blog will not be dedicated to the vitriolic experience of riding on British roads (although this may feature occasionally!), but will encompass the pleasurable side of cycling as well - new bikes, gear and pics from rides in and around various parts of the UK.
I'm not one of those serious cyclist types - certainly not lycra-clad and shaven legs - but rather a cyclist borne though convenience - living in the urban depths of Manchester, I have little need for a car and instead rely on my bike.
I ride a yellow and black (2005) Claude Butler Milano racing bike (not pro-spec, but it's pretty fast and doesn't break the bank). I've been making the 5-mile commute to work for about 5 years now, come rain or shine - mostly rain in Manchester, of course - and I enjoy the occasional longer ride, given the time and clement weather.
Hopefully the pleasant weather will hold over August and I'll have some interesting tales and pictures from my rides - in the meantime, feel free to get back in touch with your thoughts at stu@rtbrown.org, and subscribe to the RSS feed here!
