Most of these are paths are hundreds if not thousands years old, predating the private property and involving peoples rights to use due to constant and uninterrupted use over centuries. These Rights were formalised in a couple of Acts in the 1930s Right Of Way acts and Countryside Acts in the...

I'd suggest the lighter the better, that eye watering expensive Canyon Sub-10 (Kg) at 9.86Kg or 21.7lbs is astonishingly light. My Vado SL at 37lbs is sluggish compared to an analogue road bike (rides like a dream compared to a full fat ebike) Shame about the lack of test rides for you. Also I...

It's not an easy answer(s). And I don't fulfil your criteria as my e bike helped get me back to cycling, my strong riding was years earlier. So my take - Particularily these new sub 10Kg bikes should allow you to ride unassisted with a good ride feel. V. important. The motor will be be very...

It' It's mad that in 2026 there are such huge chunks of France and Spain with very low populations. Can't help but look enviously what low £/€ would buy in those areas compared to IRL or UK right now. Prices are so high, I know Dartmoor is a National Park but £750K for a bog standard 70s...

Pic smells a bit AI. Usually new bikes are released with a bit of fanfare, but then again this might be leaked. Spesh does tend to release new models in March. It's not the most exciting looking image.

And Poland, Ireland, Greece, Portugal... that's the EU Cohesion Fund for you. Damn them for trying to improve all the historically disadvantaged areas in Europe, spending about 179 Billion Euros over the last 30 years improving infrastructure throughout Europe so that the whole continent profits...

Amazing the difference in weather on same island! Was watching Scotland completely tear apart France at Murrayfield yesterday and the sun blazing so they couldn't even use the standard "ambushed by Celtic nation in a quagmire of mud and rain" excuse!!!

And ... jams.

Also got a new (well eBay) 7 litre handlebar bag (old one is 5 litres) Love it. It flips open facing the rider like Randonneuring bags, so easy to get at contents when riding. And big enough for all I'll need, coats, extra gloves, lunch,(Ham sambos with Colemans mustard today for damp cold...

So after a couple of weeks trying out the 180mm front rotor - that's a massive thumbs up from me. It's not about stopping quickly, the 160s are perfectly adequate for that. It was to have a more modulated feel so on steep descents I didn't need as much force to engage and have more modulation to...

At least for the start of Paris Nice roads are dry. No hailstones.

Mistbound damp day. Sounds muffled, eerily quiet, trees looming out of the mist like gnarly monsters. No wind. Lovely ride.

It's just bad racing. Maybe it's impossible to make so many egos work together today but attacking individually seems to me a recipe for failure and it is happening every race when Pog does this. Perhaps it's the terrain, the gravel, rolling country & strung out nature of broken groups as...

It is boring. But not because of Pog. It's boring because the other riders are not working together to bring him back despite the fact he is at this point taunting them by texting the very section and hill he will attack. 6 or 7 riders of this calibre working together over 45km+ distance can...

I will be interested to know what options do fit and what you get, in case I go down that route sometime myself.

No, because I never got a dropper for the SL so never checked. That's the head scratcher- depth it can down, you're ideal seat height and the drop length options! Like a devilish school maths question!

The chase group, including some big names, are not working together - at all. It's deeply frustrating. Just watching them after a gravel section, all watching one another, no leadership, no urgency with 43kms and a gap under 2mins and they've given up and never had a coherent chase. Not the...

Watching the Strade and they are traversing the Monte Saint Marie gravel section over 9km of white Tuscan gravel, including 19% climbs, the clouds of white dust kicked up by the leading motos is crazy. In the drone age I wonder why they don't consign the TV bikes to the rear of the groups and...

So the paddle one I got (from Ali Express £50) was the KS EXAform Speed UP Dropper post. On the Cairn, there wasn't a huge amount of space inside the seat tube so dropper options were compromised. Have you checked the drop sizes of the Trans-X EDP01 wireless dropper post? They cost around £390...

Visited the MAKE Southwest gallery (Devon Guild of Craftsmen) for an exhibition on craft & engineering. Fascinating stuff and in the middle was a bike built by local frame builder Pi Manson. Absolutely gorgeous steel touring rig. Made me stop and think about one off frame building like this as...
