Used it for about 3 hours and decided indoor training isn't for me. Buyer to collect from Milngavie, just north of Glasgow. Cash on pickup. I have a bike on it just now so try before you buy.

I,m using a 550g D lock for local rides. Only drawback is it won,t fit round many metal poles. Bike racks or metal fences are best bet usually. https://www.ortre.com/store/p5/BI5_U_Lock_-_Large.html Did you buy yours here/europe? Don't think many of us would have a lock shipped from the states. &qu...

There are similarities between some comments on this forum and the hardline comments from Trump about his Mexican neighbours. Try and remember how savvy you were at 15. Nope. Searched my memory but the 15 year old me wasn't even thinking about traveling to a far off country to join a terrorist orga...

There should be consequences, for sure. However I'm mindful that the war reporter who interviewed her was keen to point out that she had been groomed online like many other vulnerable early-mid teenagers, and after her flight from Britain, clearly subjected to severe and sustained indoctrination. W...

I think, when someone who has had a good life dies at a good age, one may be sad but it is good to remember their achievements, sadness should not be the predominant emotion, when Sir Ken Dodd died there might have been as much laughter as tears Why are so few cyclists interested in football? When ...

The Sport Contacts get good reviews. Why change them? Unless you were going to be using muddy paths in which case swapping the front tyre for something with a more aggressive tread may be worth it. I've found semi slick touring tyres to be fine in dry conditions for places like towpaths and gravel r...

From Fort William I'd suggest the B8004 to Gairlochy.Then Great Glen Way along the forest tracks on the W side of Loch Lochy. Canal towpath for the last few miles to Fort Augustus. Take the B roads on the east side of Loch Ness to Inverness. On no account the A82.

Hi all, This is my first time posting in a forum so sorry if my post is a too long and detailed.. I'm starting to plan a solo tour early March to early August (the dates are fixed due to work commitments) and am still undecided where exactly I will aim to cover so thought it would be great to get s...

Because the right wing want it. (or - to be somewhat less succinct: the right wing hate cyclists and hate cycling, and every single measure that they can impose on us to 'punish' us for being non-conformist members of the only out group that it's still cool to hate, they will impose) You don't thin...

Make the most of it. Bicycle helmet use will be compulsory in the UK within five years. What makes you say that? Because the right wing want it. (or - to be somewhat less succinct: the right wing hate cyclists and hate cycling, and every single measure that they can impose on us to 'punish' us for ...

End of the day it depends on the rider. Having done commutes of various lengths up to 18 miles each way I found anything past about 12 miles each way started taking too much time out my day to do every day. I was lucky in that I commuted off peak and had 100% secure parking and showers at work. The ...

Almost beyond belief that anyone would drive at 80mph, without seatbelts, and on the phone on a dirt track.

Reporting restrictions are much more strict in Scotland. They do not apply in the rest of the UK, nor the world for that matter. As seen in the Tommy Sheridan case ,there were tens of thousands of contentious posts made online, and many documents and photos leaked from the press ('anonymously') pre...

I presume (l don't know but you may be better informed) that the charges may not relate to the allegations he was already cleared of in the internal investigation? It could be different people? He wasn't cleared of anything in the internal investigation. He won a ruling that the internal investigat...
