A Tale of Two Time Trials
Cadel Evans in Time trial, photo by By nattsang (CC 2.0) Last Saturday there were two quite different time trials. One was 42km under the glare of the international media, 50% of the Australian and Luxembourgean public glued to their tvs, spectators lining the entire course, and millions of Euros involved in the outcome of […]
Review Tour de France 2011
Photo by By scarlatti2004 It was a great tour de France. The best I can ever remember. As I said recently in (Tour)- how quickly you can forget the past problems of pro-cycling when watching a new edition of the tour! Cadel Evans was a worthy winner. His final time trial was awesome. He was […]

I spend at least five weeks a year in America where I always spend some time cycling in New York. I have also spent time cycling in different parts of Europe.

SKS Race Mudguards Review
I’ve used SKS race blades for a number of years. They have lasted well after some pretty rough treatment. I often end up leaning bike against mudguard so it gets plenty of use. The people at SKS sent a new version of the Race blades so I’ve put on my Ribble bike. Ease of […]
Andy Schleck Chapeau !
Andy Schleck rode to a magnificent stage victory in today’s stage of the Tour de France. I’m not often inspired to blog about the tour, but it is quite something to attack from 60Km out and hold out for so long. It was a real gamble and I think the favourites let him go because […]
Advantages of Rail Freight
Cars moved by rail freight at Willesden junction, England Whenever I see freight being moved by rail, I always get a good feeling that it means several less lorries on the road. As a cyclist my biggest gripe is having to deal with large lorries (btw: I find lorry drivers generally more courteous than […]
Charge Sink Review
A steel framed single speed for a nifty commute around town. Ride Quality Of the different bikes I’ve tested recently, the Charge Sink was one of my favourite to ride. The set up is for quite an aggressive riding position. There is little scope for lifting the handlebars so make sure you’re quite happy with […]

Bike v Plane My personal commute from door to office (school). Distance 2.6 miles bicycle – 11-13 minutes (11 is quick, 13 minutes is steady. A steady ride means no […]
