I’ve had both Gerber and Leatherman. Both are towards the top end, price wise, but much better than the cheaper copies. However, Gerber is not as robust and overall appeared not as good as the Leatherman. Leatherman have a good customer service department. I broke the tip off one of the...

Yesterday’s ride. Continuing the theme of doing miles for exercise. I’ll do a similar run today before dropping the bike off at the LBS for them to have a look at the bike which has developed a noise when peddling. DG…

Our ride yesterday. Mrs DG and myself explored Tattenhoe Park a bit further. Didn’t realise it was so big, so still more to explore. The diet and exercise regime is going well. Albeit the first weigh in, I have lost 2.6kg, which has been helped by cycling 160 miles during the week. Hope that...

Fitted pannier rails to Mrs DGs bike. Did it differently this time using rubber lined stainless steel P-Clips, instead of drilling and bolting to the rack. DG…

Had a nice ride out this morning. Found a new park in Milton Keynes that I wasn’t aware of, so had a quick explore. Will have to go back with Mrs DG for further exploration. The nice bits of cycling. The not so nice bits of cycling. Tried some padded bib tights today for the first time...

Todays ride. Since Monday (four days), I’ve done about 120 miles. Started a diet on Monday and want to improve my levels of fitness, hence a bit more cycling than usual. Going to have a rest tomorrow, plus it’s supposed to be raining all day. DG…

Todays ride. Out with a mate today, so a bit faster than usual. DG…

We have two. Both Mrs DG and myself have a R&M Nevo3 GT Vario GX. DG…

Today, I combined two local cycle paths into one and cycled to Milton Keynes, back and then Buckingham. Not our usual standards, but this was my picnic for today. DG…

I had a bike fitting last year some time, mainly to sort out the saddle, but also he looked at my hand grip. He ended up changing the brake lever angle to 30 degrees and did the same with the Ergon grips and horns. This did help to reduce any tingling, plus I don’t grip as tight now, which...

Today we did the Phoenix Trail. This is an old railway line between Thame in Oxfordshire and Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. Along the route, there are a number of modern art sculptures to represent the old railway heritage. However, at the county border there is a collection called...

Ordered a pair of bibbed tights to try. First time of ordering this style of clothing. Went for the a Danish Endurance ones as currently use their leggings and know that their clothing fits me. The leggings have been good and comfortable. However, the elastic waistband is beginning to roll...

Nice ride out today, around Stanwick Lakes, one of our favourite places. Weather was fine for most of day, with a couple of occasions of light showers. However, on the way home it absolutely threw it down. DG…

Another nice day today. But only a short ride today. DG…

Similar in the UK. We use a loud bell, which does cause some people to jump out of their skin. But they stop or move and let us pass, we then thank them and wish them a good walk and the usually reply in the positive. However, the problem ones are those with their face in the phone wearing ear...

The PowUnity Bike Trax works well Bosch motors. DG…

@dodgeman Most of the old farm equipment you see in the UK us just a pile of old rotting, rusty junk. DG…

What’s the 575 on the stem? DG…

Got two bikes with Enviolo gears. No issues, both smooth and easy to adjust when peddling. No big adjustments, just little feather twists as required. Full adjustment when stopped. DG…

This evenings ride. Been a warmer day, but been busy all day, so nice to get a ride when a bit cooler. DG…
