Yesterday, I went out for a (50 km) ride with the Horsham & Crawley cycle group, a relaxed Cycling UK group which often explores the quiet lanes around both towns in Surrey and West Sussex. Lovely day with two stops: at a café (Cadence Club Cafe, 50.953023° -0.306979°) and a pub for lunch (The White Horse, 51.008317° -0.305123°).

So, yesterday I had the pleasure (?) of using the Southern Rail service on the Three Bridges to London Victoria line. I had my full sized bike with me. On previous occasions, the bike carriage was indicated by a bicycle logo near the door, next to a wheelchair logo. On yesterday's train, the bicycle logo had been removed.
Anyway, I got on the train and went to tie up my bike only to find that there were no straps. Everything else was the same as it used to be. So I had to stand next to my bike so it wouldn't get flung around on some of the curves (or track changes).
I asked the conductor and was told that they removed the straps due to a "government directive". He didn't look like he was in the mood to be questioned by me, just a passenger (oops, sorry: a customer) so I didn't probe further. If anybody knows what government directive this might be, please let me know (before I write to my MP).
I am concerned that this is the first step towards not allowing full sized bikes at all on their services.
PS - Thameslink, on the other hand, provide an excellent service including carrying bikes and, luckily, this is the service I use more often.

Is Professor Crawley Retired from Bristol, or Isn’t She?
By David Tuller, DrPH Professor Esther Crawley, the methodically and ethically challenged pediatrician and former grant queen at the University of Bristol, retired from medical practice and, apparently, from academia at some point in the recent past. So why does her name still appear on websites as if she were an active participant in research and clinical care? I noted in a blog post earlier this month that Professor Crawley remains on the list of steering committee members of the Collaborative On Fatigue and related symptoms Following Infection, more commonly known as COFFI. (Is that acronym supposed to be a winking reference to “coffee,” which obviously is known to perk people up? If it is a pun, it’s a rather stupid one, but stupidity is not unknown among this crew.) To try to find out why Professor Crawley’s name is still included, I sent a letter to COFFI and to the chair of its steering committee, Professor Vegard Wyller of Norway. I have not received a response. (I didn’t expect one.) Needless to say, an organization that fails in such basic functions as ensuring that its website accurately describes its current leadership, it is fair to question whether anything they proclaim can be taken seriously. Furthermore, the other day a keen observer referred me to the website of a project called Severn Postgraduate Medical Education (SPME), which is the southwest England arm of a larger National Health Service training initiative. Under the SPME, the University of Bristol is offering two-year postgraduate posts in a range of specialties. On the project website, Professor Crawley is listed as one of the two leads for the pediatrics track, along with Professor Richard Coward, who is a Bristol faculty member. The pediatrics department is offering three of these two-year training positions. Here’s the description: …https://trialbyerror.org/2026/03/21/is-professor-crawley-retired-from-bristol-or-isnt-she/

Took my steel single speed out for a ride this morning. At one point, I realised that I was going to go close to Balfe's (cycle shop in Crawley, at the old Evans Cycles, highly recommended). I know I need a new bottom bracket so I detoured slightly and dropped in to see if I could book the bike in.
They took it off my hands there and then! Oops. Hadn't expected this at all. Bus ride home... 🤣
While at it, they are going to do a few other things for me, including new pedals as the old ones are completely warped (previous owner must have had quite a few falls).

Why is Professor Crawley Still on the COFFI Steering Committee?
By David Tuller, DrPH Several years ago, the leaders of the biopsychosocial ideological brigades decided to create the Collaborative On Fatigue and related symptoms Following Infection, or COFFI. According to its website, COFFI’s “overarching aim” is “to investigate factors influencing the development of long-term symptoms (in particular fatigue) following certain infectious diseases.” Akershus University Hospital (AHUS) in Norway is COFFI’s host institution. The seeds for the organization were first sewn in 2015, and the formal structure was established in 2020. That is, of course, the year the coronavirus pandemic triggered widespread reports of prolonged illness that became known as Long COVID. A central concern about COFFI is its core focus on “fatigue”–as if all fatigue were exactly the same. While the organization’s website makes references to other major post-infectious symptoms, they are clearly relegated to secondary status. COFFI is an international who’s who of prominent investigators, some or many of whom have engaged in exceedingly questionable research strategies. The steering committee includes the principal investigators whose cohorts are considered to be COFFI-affiliated. The chair of the steering committee is Professor Vegard Wyller, who holds a position at AHUS. The steering committee also includes, among others, Professor Andrew Lloyd at the University of New South Wales in Australia, Professor Hans Knoop of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and Professor Rona Moss-Morris of King’s College London in the U.K. I have criticized all three of these investigators for serious methodological and ethical lapses in their research or, in some cases, in their public statements. In reviewing the COFFI website recently, I noticed something odd. Professor Esther Crawley, the former pediatrician and grant magnet at the University of Bristol, is listed as a current member of the steering committee. However, Professor Crawley is no longer at the university or practicing medicine—for reasons …https://trialbyerror.org/2026/03/12/why-is-professor-crawley-still-on-the-coffi-steering-committee/

Today was a town ride, on cycle paths, shared used footways, and residential streets. Went past the pond in Ifield in the west part of Crawley and stopped to take a photograph of the main residents of the Mill Pond.
Bit of rain today and a very strong westerly wind, i.e. a head wind on the way out. I hoped that the wind would help on the way back when I headed east and, for once, it did! The wind gods must have been otherwise occupied. 😉

I am so confused by this sign.

I encountered the Schrödinger driver today: in so much of a rush that they couldn't give way to the cyclist (me) even though I had priority but also had so much time on their hand that they could try to chase me down to do something to me. 😡
I was cut up by a driver coming in from a side street, a driver that should have yielded to me. I yelled (without any profanity) that they could have waited a second. I continued on my way only to hear some honking of horns. I looked back and saw the car stopped in the road. I ignored it and kept going on my way. A minute later as I was entering a cul-de-sac, I heard a horn again, very loud, and looked back to see the driver chasing me in their car. They had to have done a 3-point turn to change direction to chase me.
The cul-de-sac has an exit for cyclists and pedestrians, which is where I was heading anyway, so simply kept going and ignored the driver.
Hey hum.
Luckily, the rest of my 20 km ride was uneventful and the sun was out (for once).

-3 °C but lovely and sunny this morning. Practically lost feeling in toes and finger tips so I think I may need thicker socks and better gloves! Body warmed up quickly however. Great ride overall.

Snowing in Crawley in mid-November! Maybe a good thing that I chickened out of going out for a bike ride today.

So life sometimes has its own way. I normally go out for a ride first thing in the morning, aiming to cycle 20-25 km. This morning, it was miserable: grey, wet, not warm. So I chickened out.
Later, I realised I need to go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Decided to cycle on my single speed charity bought bike (which I don't worry about getting nicked...). Pharmacy is 1 km away. Get there to be told that my prescription was dispensed somewhere else. Cycle there: another 3-4 km and it started raining heavily. Oh well. But I got my prescription so success.
On the way, however, I noticed that my crank is loose but I don't have the right tool to tighten it. Choice: go home, where I am not sure I have the right tool either, or cycle another 5 km to Balfe's to see if they can help on spec. Choose the latter and Balfe's do come to the rescue! And they charged me nothing to fix the bike. Chapeau to them.
Cycle home, now not raining.
All in all, about 18-20 km unplanned cycle ride today! Feel better for it even if I did get rather wet. 🙂

Lovely day, albeit a bit wet at times, for a cycle ride in the morning. The autumn colours are lovely this year. This is the Worth Way, part of the National Cycle Network route 21 (London – Eastbourne via Redhill, Crawley, East Grinstead...). This photo was taken heading back to Crawley from East Grinstead.

It was sunny first thing this morning so I went out for a ride on my bicycle. I decided I needed to do some hills. I hate hills (being from the Canadian Prairies 😉) but Sussex is not the flattest part of the UK by any stretch of the imagination. I need to learn not to let hills put me off going for a ride.
I went through Tilgate Forest to a new estate being built just outside Crawley next to Pease Pottage. It was a lovely ride although shorter than usual. Good workout nonetheless and a great way to start a day. 🙂
