So Tom Watson is stepping down from Labour. That a big loss? He is my fave Labour guy, so IMO very sad and concerning to see him step down :( Yes it’s a real shame, he was one of the last hopes for the moderates in the party I think. The Momentum extremists seem very intolerant of any other shade o...

I’ve done this before and would certainly recommend it. There may be flatter routes, but I’d imagine that they would miss a lot of the stunning scenery that you enjoy every day with this tour. While 65 miles per day with hills may seem daunting, you are never further than 20 miles from a cup of tea ...

I think Endura are pretty good for the money.

That looks just the job Niallmo

I now want one and I don’t even camp...

Here’s the latest steed. A £50 eBay special that is the cheapest bike I’ve ever bought by a long way. A 1980 Viscount Metro 3 that is in amazing condition for the year. SA 3 speed and 26” / 650A wheels. It also came with Woods valves on the inner tubes, something that I’m sticking with despite non o...

Alternatively, you could get a power meter for your bike and use a standard turbo. I picked up a cheap Stages crank on eBay for mine. That way you’d have power on the road as well ( if you like that sort of thing )

Another vote for triples here too.

After years on searching, I’ve recently picked up this rather nice Metro 3 speed. Better pictures to follower.

Had an unofficial New York based Death Fork Rally with Triitout this afternoon. I’m on holiday in New York and he kindly let me use his Sport for a ride along Jones Beach on Long Island.

Great idea, I’d like to upgrade from my Mamod.

Apparently they are worth good money to a bee keeper, sometimes over £100.
