Looking to do a tour or Ireland coast in August and it's much cheaper to use rail sail than do it separately.

Just wondering about booking a bike after the transaction. Will I get charged a load more fees?

Im guessing if this special road status came into place it would be the end of any lejog records for the foreseeable future.

We have just completed LEJOG following the cicerone end to end book & gps files. It was fantastic! We had gravel bikes loaded with bike packing style bags (rather than panniers) carrying tent, sleeping bags and clothes between 2 of us. It certainly wasn’t the flattest route but the climbs were ...

Booked my train tickets back - Thurso to Brum. Around 13 hours on the train for £30. Don't know how Scotland can run its train so cheap?

any experience with these?

I use Ron Hill Bikesters for spring riding. I don't think they make them any more, but they do Tracksters, which are similar. More bike specific (and more expensive) are the Polaris ones - I've not tried them. https://www.polaris-bikewear.co.uk/Bikeze-Multi-Sport-Cycling-Tight-p/pol01-1008-p.htm?Cl...

Yes in part but also I find shorts of any type just dont fit me that well so I really don't want to go down that road if I can avoid it.

Could someone recommend some full length tights that are usable in temps up to 20ish degrees? They need to be padded but preferably not bib tights. Bonus if they have foot stirrups.

Good luck to Ian To, and indeed anybody else who plans a record attempt this year. My only plea is please, pretty please keep us armchair supporters updated with progress. We are on your side. Apologies if this is just me being dull-witted, but what the significance of "Project 44"? IIRC,...

This is Angels Fear to Tread territory but I'll go there anyway. In Brucey's pictures Rebecca isn't wearing a helmet and the one she is wearing in the article looks more decorative than functional. An article in the New York Times got me wondering if she had had any head injuries which may have con...

Contemplating getting a Shand Stoater but would like to use the Rohlaff I have on a Thorn bike. Is that viable or are these set up for certain types of frames. The Stoater is a Rohlaff frame.

Just been Looking at trains from wick to Leeds £163!!! Has anyone tried the coach? Stagecoach - Inverness city link - Edinburgh? Can you get bike on the coach? Then train Edinburgh to Leeds £36 Logistics is worse than riding!!! Cheers James have you tried breaking the journey down into seperate tic...

That may be the root of this attitude: people hate few more than those who resemble one's discarded past selves. I don't particularly "hate" anyone.I just think it's all a bit pointless.Some people don't see the irony in what they're doing...protesting about one thing but directly funding...

I can't see it having any real effect. Chatting about this with my cycling friends/club mates and generally they all have similar views to me and that is we don't particularly care who sponsors Team Sky/Ineos,or any other Team for that matter,so long as British riders are winning GTs 8) Its just a ...

You can include local councillors in South Yorkshire and elsewhere in God's own then. The "usual suspects" represent areas that were decimated by pit closures- and what happens- proposals for fracking that would potentially have major environmental implications. Yes, I think they are righ...
