Improve your bike handling - ride a mountain bike…

When I got back on the roadie [...]

Oporto’s Burgers and Cycle Paths… Happy days…
I spend my working days between meeting rooms and my desk. My daily sanity check is riding to and from work. One of the side effects of riding approx 50km a day is that from time to time I get the munchies - usually as a result of not eating all that much the day [...]

Looking like a tosser is expensive…
Ok, I’ll admit it, I’ve got a bit of a thing for nice cycling gear. If you’ve never been to Rapha’s website, this is the sort of stuff I love:
Whilst I’d like to say this gear is gorgeous from first hand experience, I have to admit to having only touched it whilst it clothed the [...]
