Spring has sprung which normally means everyone is out and about on their shiny new bike! Are you still looking for your shiny new entry level road bike? Well here’s some to be proud of… [More]

Well Saturday was a glorious day. The sun was shining, there was no rain, not a cloud in the sky. It actually felt like spring. Sunday, however, was race day. It was zero degrees and bucketing down with rain, and fairly breezy to boot.

Despite this I got up at 6am and made my way to Dorney Lake for my first ever duathlon. [More]

Suddenly it’s upon me. How does this always happen? I have an idea about entering a race months before it starts, and in a moment of madness I sign up for it. Well it’s now just 4 days away. The weather is set to be cold and raining. Not much I can do about that. But am I prepared? [More]

City cycling may be outside of the everlasting quest for speed that racing cyclists undertake for the duration of their lives, but it's no secret that every cyclist wishes they could go just a little bit faster, cut down that journey time a little, or just enjoy the feeling of velocity.

When I was a boy I did a fair amount of cross country running at school – mostly because it got me out of rugby! But then I pretty much stopped. I still play football every now and then and its not like I haven’t run at all, but certainly not competitively. With judgement day fast approaching I put on my running shoes and hit the road… [More]

I guess it’s that time of year when people start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. I’m not really a believer in New Year resolutions because the only one I ever managed to achieve was giving up smoking (about 5 years ago).

Here’s a round up of some great entry level or intermediate road bikes to be snapped up for less than a grand (£1000). [More]
