As far as I am concerned carrying a rucksack while cycling is very dangerous. it throws you all off balance and covers up your reflective clothing. Get a good saddle bag. It should do the trick. Remember your bike is your horse, it carries the load, not you. After all you never saw John Wayne carrying a rucksack on his back. Panniers on the horse was his thing. DC

Continental tour ride i use them on my Sarder.regards dc

As a member of the Cyclists Touring Club for a good number of years I resent the council's decision to abolish the original name. Surely members should have been asked to vote if they wanted to change the name or not. I thought we lived in a democracy. First they got rid of the old winged wheel logo, renegaded to the third division, then they got rid of Chris Juden and now this latest fiasco. From disgrunted member

The Primus Stove on the bar of the bike and a good brew up half way on the run.

Bike Brothers website. I do not seem to be able to locate it any more. Is it still on the web? two brothers who had a great interest in cycling and everything that goes with it. Very entertaining and knowledgeable source. Regards DC

A Primus Stove.

Well done sir you are a man after my own hart

Don't hold your breath Hercule on getting any acknowledgement from the CTC for your years of membership. I have been a member since 1963, 50 years this month and never had as much as a postcard from them. As for the winged wheel the original CTC logo, as I said before you would not get mercedes benz or rolls royce down grading their logo for a new trendy one. They simply haven't a clue.

Well Done Snibgo keep up the good work dc

SJS cycles sold them at one time i bought one a few years back regards DC
