Cycling UK Forum

i have bought this bike for the very same reasons you have stated.
years of riding every kind of bike, and now settled for pootling/touring about and this seems to fit the bill.
cheap and purposefull.

there is a rohan shop in Leeds in the Victoria Quarter.
some nice clothing but a bit more walking specific.
i have found some bontrager commuter trousers which are ideal, not too pricey also.

looking for some nice and tidy cycling clothing.
not wanting anything technical from the likes of endura/altura type brands, and rapha is too small.
looking for some nice three quarter trousers and some nice smart t shirts.

any ideas greatly appreciated.

hi, i am going to france in september using the bike express. i want to go down on the med route and get off near the pyrenees, and then spend a week cycling across to the atlantic side to come back on that route.
has anyone done this, and does anyone have a half decent route taking in some nice offroad.
thanks.
