    Schumacher's Helmet

    I'm gobsmacked that I've told you I woke up in A&E (with my colleagues treating me no less) from knocking myself out but you don't 100% accept that my helmet lessened the impact.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    12 months ago I woke up in A&E after going round a corner on black ice and I also woke up with a dislocated shoulder. I know 100% that my helmet saved my life or at the very least saved me from brain damage. All I can say is run into a wall head first with your helmet on and then try it again...

I'm nearly 56 and too many marathons & half marathons have taken their toll on me and I now have advanced arthritis in my spine, hips & knees and I have to use a walking stick sometimes...

    Cyclotricity kit review

    I've had the Cyclotricity Stealth for 3 weeks after commuting on a road bike and an hybrid for 18 months every day in all weathers. I was going to buy the kit for my Carrera Subway at a cost of £500 + £100 fitting for the full LED display kit and then thought I might as well buy the bike. I'm a...
