    Good hiding places for bikes

    As I tend to work long days I try not to leave my bike in racks because I think there is the risk of "last one left" theft. Luckily there is a rooftop garden near my desk with a space behind the hedge where you can chain the bike to the fence which is conveniently only used by me (and a...

    Booking bikes on trains via Virgin East Coast website no longer possible?

    As per title. Many of you will know this was generally the most convenient way of booking a bike on a train, and saved you having to phone up before booking a ticket to check availability or afterwards and finding out there was none. Anyhow I had a go at doing it just now and seems website has...

    Why are used bikes so expensive?

    Recently looked on eBay for a used cyclo-cross or gravel bike and instead of seeing a dozen Genesis Croix de Fers for 350-400 like I did a year ago, there's hardly anything listed. Other brands are listed with a selling price way above what they used to be. Where are all the bikes and why...

    26" mountain bikes

    Hi All Is it worth buying a second hand bike with 26" wheels? I'm being told conflicting information... some say that they are more fun and others that they are too slow with more pedaling. Someone also told me that there will be a shortage of 26" tires in the future. What do people here...

    Local Shops and Locking Bikes

    Something occurred to me as I was out today. I passed a parade of shops and noticed a lack of spaces to lock up bikes. This got me pondering, so when I got home I had a look on Streetview at three other local parades and small shops that I'm aware of. Similarly, nowhere to lock a bike - but...

    Does your local Oxfam or other charity shop accept bikes and bike parts?

    Mine got a bit iffy over a small stack of nearly new (ok I admit it and in some cases brand-new never used before the project went in another direction) parts and was adamant they couldn't take a whole bike.

    Noisy carbon bikes

    An organized ride last weekend was the first time I've come into contact with modern carbon road bikes in any number, actually out on the road - and I was amazed by how noisy some of them are. Whereas my old steel bikes are practically silent, some of these were making really loud sort of...

    I ride 2 or 3 time a week, mostly each ride is over 60 miles in the summer, I've just checked and that's over 3500 miles already this year. All done on my vintage 1980's steel bikes. :smile:

    Rain and bikes

    I brought a new bike recently and I want it to last a good few years. There will be times when I'll be riding it in the rain and sometimes I will need to leave it locked up outside in the rain for a few hours. How much damage does rain do to bikes?
