The Cyclist’s Codex: Protocols for Pedalling in Pelotons, Preserving a Pulse, Pushing Power, Pootling on Paths, and Not Being a Prat on the Road

There are two types of cyclists: those who know the rules, and those who accidentally violate all of them before the first junction. This book is for both—and especially for the latter.

The Cyclist’s Codex is the long-overdue legal text for the road-going, bunch-riding, café-stopping, Strava-uploading cyclist who wants to ride well, ride right, and not become the unspoken reason someone else leaves the group chat. Part etiquette manual, part sarcastic scripture, part unofficial highway code—this is the lawbook the peloton never asked for, but desperately needed.

Inside you’ll find:

  • 16 chapters of judiciously officious riding laws, covering everything from rotation rituals to sock-based infractions

  • The Cyclist Citation Scale (CCS): a seven-point penalty system ranging from The Glance to full-blown social expulsion

  • Hard lines on soft etiquette—meeting point punctuality, mid-ride micturition, WhatsApp decorum, and the correct height of sock

  • Clauses for café queue etiquette, descending danger zones, mechanical misconduct, and how to pee without ruining your bibs or reputation

  • Appendices for language decoding, acceptable post-ride uploads, and rules for those who say “I’m just here for fun” (but clearly aren’t)

Written in the tone of a Queen’s Counsel with a caffeine dependency and too many miles in their legs, The Cyclist’s Codex is a must-read (and must-abide) for anyone who wants to ride socially without being silently judged.

Know the rules. Know when you’re breaking them. And at least be funny when you do.
