Hi all . Big birthday coming up and the wife says shes buying me a new bike .hopefully around £1500 to spend .At the min the only bike I have is a 2017 giant contend. But If I was getting a new bike it would need to be an upgrade . I hear planetx bikes are good bikes for the money . I was...

for those of you who use these bikes what is your honest opinion of them are they better than drop bars and are they reliable and whats the braking like in the wet ive seen a 2012 one with deore gear on thanks

Does anyone have experience with these makes? They seem very nice, as does the price. But what about quality? Any thoughts, folks. https://www.radpowerbikes.com/pages/2019 https://enzoebike.com/ Thank you

Another new category for us all . Any kind of memorial be it a war one , famous person , millennium or any other one . Just Include as much of the memorial and something bike related . No contest just another place to lean your bike against and take a picture . So I will start with the...

The Elder Son and I are still looking at colour schemes for the bike we're renovating and we are wondering about what sort of decals to add, and if the bike should have a name painted on the side, because it may look a bit dull with just a dark reddish frame. Given that the bike is supposed to...

Why do they all come with 11x28 cassette? It is ok if you are a good climber or young or very fit or live in a flat area. In my case, 12x32 is a minimum as Wales is not flat, I am not young, a bad climber and not as fit as I would like to be. All my present bikes are 32 and one even 34 cassettes.

Thought some of you Boardman fans on here might be interested in these new ranges; https://road.cc/content/tech-news/255760-exclusive-first-look-boardman-launches-new-9-series-slr-bikes?amp#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s

I apologise in advance if this is not appropriate to this section but the bike in question is vintage ! I have been asked if l would ship a bicycle from my place (in France) to Russia :bicycle: I have no idea which shipper would be prepared to take the job or even if it is possible.....does...

York police want to find the rightful owners of these five stolen bikes https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/crime/york-police-want-to-find-the-rightful-owners-of-these-five-stolen-bikes-1-9574747

My lbs is looking at stocking Pilot Bikes and are trying to source a couple of demo models, potentially one in my size for me to try out. I'm hoping it will be a Veturi, the more relaxed of the road models, as I'm thinking of replacing the Roubaix frameset with something similar geometry wise...

Looks like they've gone with Robot Bikes. Not exactly cheap at about £4.5k for a frame (robot's prices) https://www.mbr.co.uk/news/atherton-bikes-383839

Always this has confused me. I run a pig iron heavy road bike I got off Amazon for £150 about 5 years ago, I've done well over 10,000 miles on it and love it. But fairly often people say to me "oh you want to get a new bike mate". I ask why. "well, that ones so heavy". Other than for actual...

Because you never know what might happen.

Has anyone used this company Appears to have good reviews. Thanks in advance.

However on this island you are only allowed one vintage/classic bicycle. What would it be and why ? On the other hand you can have as many records as you want :bicycle:

So what are the differences with thru axles (cutting through all the sales spiel) - Will I be able to get my wheel off easily ? - Do thru axles still have bearings ? - What's the main benefit of thru axles? thanks in advance

Good to hear of Scotrail proposals for improved facilities for cycling and winter sports customers. Their vivid red and blue livery would herald a new era in train travel for cyclists and snowsports fans, providing much-needed extra space to reach the Highlands by rail. Initial concept...

Every week I see another road bike launch, sometimes they are a long running design and other times they are all new - but they still keep coming with non-disc e.g. https://road.cc/content/review/252154-storck-fascenario3-comp-ultegra I am planning to get a new road bike next year with discs...

Has anyone seen this news story? It boggles my mind. In other news they apparently agreed in a council meeting yesterday that climate change is an emergency and that they want to be carbon neutral by 2030. Yet they're doing this...

I noticed a lot of community drop in mechanics rack up bikes on a bit of scaffolding. My friend had his roof done last year and they left one long section, which is essentially going spare. I am considering firing it across the shed to hang bikes, but here are my thoughts: +Easy to stick the...

The Elder Son and Myself have long had a dream of cycle touring in Japan. This isn't quite as exotic as it seems as he's half Japanese and we can combine it with a visit to Beautiful Wife's family: in fact, it is partly as an escape from said family: lovely people but there's a lot of them and...

I recently created the following utility website for finding and comparing gravel bikes: http://www.gravel-bikes.co.uk/ It's something I built in my spare time because I was finding it increasingly difficult to find/compare bikes, especially with the many new gravel bikes now available. You...

First sign of winter a light frost on this morning's commute on my Marin Bear Valley

I've often wondered what it would be like to ride a fixed gear bike. The gear that it's fixed in, would it be comparable to, say, the third gear on a 3-speed Sturmey Archer, for example. Can you change it to a geared bike by adding a cassette, or is the rear forks too narrow at the bottom?

Hi Everyone, Winter is coming soon and I am not sure zero temperatures will make it possible for me to ride bike outside however it's the only sport I'm doing. I'm wondering to buy indoor bike to do cycling indoors however I don't know if it's worth buying it. I'm considering it because what...

I'm wondering how they can sell bikes so inexpensive. Has anyone had dealings with them? Perhaps they don't deliver overseas. Not sure. But for an inexpensive ride about bike, especially on my limited budget, this seems like a good one for $349.95 Any thoughts...

From here: France is planning to have a registration scheme for all bikes, as part of their efforts to cut down on theft. One suspects they haven't though through all the implications. Either that, or they have hundreds of thousands of civil servants sitting around with nothing to do. Or both.

These two bendy jobs are for sale locally .....cheapish l think , but what do you do with them ?

... I thought one of the advantages of ss bikes was lack of maintenance, but judging by how many slack-chained ss bikes I see, I think the riders may confuse lower maintenance with no maintenance.
