Anyone looking for a recumbent friendly sportive try the Cotswold Cogfest. I have taken part for the last 2 years on my ICE trice. Warmly welcomed on each occasion. Last year 4 of us took part and they were very encouraging. 2 route choices 60 and 30 miles both well signed and planned to be challeng...

First aid trained for work my advise would be that if you are carrying a kit to help others it should include disposable gloves for your own safety.

The Glassmaker at Nailsea has some outside seating and with good visibility of the cycle parking from inside from much of the seating.

The V shed on Bristols harbourside has outdoor covered seating but limited space for secure bike parking.

The knights templer near Temple Meads station Bristol has a large outdoor seating area.

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures from the most recent rides undertaken by the Facebook group. The first picture shows the group on Dundas aqueduct yesterday the second is at Burnham on Sea a couple of weeks age. All rides are sociable and relaxed and the majority of us ride Ice trikes. Dun...

Riding a recumbent trike in a semi rural location I have always been very conscious of the visibility issue and tractors. I haven't yet had any bad experience and my concern stems more from tractors emerging from a field onto the road rather than when they are progressing along a road. I have fitted...

Now I ride a recumbent trike so I would be really interested to know what the overall surface is like throughout the ride and whethe...

These also double as quick link removers.

Having installed a csrk3 SA hub I can confirm what XAP Bob has suggested. I run a 22,32,44 chain set and 11-26 Cassette which run with the SA 2nd gear ie 1:1 ratio is good for 75% of the time. When I need those really low gear I select the SA ist gear and it reduces the whole range by 25%, if I want...

Here is a link to the page listing the route guide details for info. http://mbruk.co.uk/mbruk_guides.htm

There is the Wessex Way from WSM to Beachey head 250 miles which I completed in 5 days. you could pick up the later sections of this on the South Downs and have a really enjoyable ride without having to travel too far to the start. if you want the guide PM me, I can no longer ride a mountain bike an...
