I don't know why people buy new.
You could easliy get a decent bike for half that price .
And i'm wondering why you need a MTB to get to UNI ? is it all off road to get there ?
Why not get a hybrid with a rack and mudguards.

Re: Route navigation
With my phone the GPS gobbles up battery many times more than the things that you turn on and off with airplane mode do. That's strange. Mine uses a fair amount but I can get a full days ride out of it no problem. I do put it on "power saving mode" which helps though. The thing is , I don...

Re: Route navigation
I use my phone too. although , like you i do prefer paper maps. As climo says, just put your phone into Airplane mode to save battery if needed. I use back country navigator which allows me to download maps for offline use. It's about £8 or so for life and you can download as many maps as your phone...

NC500 Lochcarron Camping opportunities ?
Hi All Myself and a friend are heading up to Scotland later this week and are looking out for camping spots. We may not use them as we're planning to do a bit of wild camping. But I'd just like to know where the camping spots are just in case we fancy them. To start with , I reckon our first night w...

Re: Dog Attack! - Apparently not.
You're right to be concerned. Over 600 people go to A&E every day in England alone, due to dog bites, some with life changing results. I carry my own home made pepper spray. I've used it against several dogs that have chased me on my bike in the UK, France and Spain. I also used it on a motorist...

Hi All I've just dusted off my lovely Higear stove, as I'm planning on another trip. As stated on my Youtube review of the stove some years ago, it's a Hi Gear stove but is exactly the same as the Vango stove. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QN3Qtz_V9g&t=3s I see that on the connector ( to the ...

Re: Keeping bottles sterilised
I've had the same plastic water bottles for about six months.
They usually last me about that amount of time.
They could last longer but it's down to how much I look after them
As others have said, make sure you rinse bottle and lid every day and leave the lid off / stand upside down.

I've done this on ferries to france to save £'s on te cabin fee. wasn't a problem , but obviously there could be a space issue . Also , about the alternative bike transport. Are the ...
