Indeed they do. My only gripe with the Bell at Benington is that I'd go past the Pug and Whistle at Aston to get there...
What old cycling technology etc would you like to see return?

Currently riding an ‘86 Dawes Renown, so have all the old tech already :-)
If I had to, I’d go for ‘style’. Carbon + Aero = Ugly. After a hot, sweaty, draining ride at least the bike would look good!

Has anyone mentioned the handlebar mounted twin bottle cages ?
When I was young I thought they were the biz!

Perhaps a silly question but wonder why they are not in fashion now, they would be very easy to use?

Folk would dribble over their wahoos - even more than normal.

Because it would slow down wannabe racers by 0.000001 mph. God forbid their bike isn’t aerodynamically perfect.
Not very aero for the carbon fibre road warriors.

I think I used neoprene tubing to run from the bottle so that I could drink from them on the move .

I would like to see updated 1:100,000 cycle touring maps, like what used to be available. Great for planning and great on the road when following your nose and being flexible in your route.

I have a few of the older ones.
I use GPS these days but they are good for seeing the big picture when sat in a pub - or getting home if a nuclear strike/battery failure interferes with your satellite comms.
