Has anyone seen any ultra reflective cycling jerseys (not jackets)? On my way home tonight I came across someone with a fantastically reflective jacket, and since a woman had just come very close to running me over having clearly not seen me, despite bar mounted and helmet headlights, I had to...

Hit a kerb too hard on my commute today, and when checking the tyre, it's got a definite lump, and after dismantling it, looks like the outer layer of casing has started to come apart at the bead. Is this time to replace the tyre? FYI it's done 3000 miles, but as you can see plenty of tread...

I was speaking with someone in the bike room at work about his power meter, which he uses to track improvements on his commute, ignoring whether he's got a rucksack with laptop etc. as extra weight. With power meters costing hundreds of pounds, it really got me thinking can you pull that info...

After a few too many punctures on my last set of tyres (4 in 1250 miles), I have switched over to running a set of tubeless tyres for the last two weeks. The last couple of days though it's all gone wrong. Every morning my rear tyre is flat, and I can see sealant leaking from the bead. I can...

I've had my bike, a Cube Reaction Hybrid HPA SL500, for a little under two months now so probably a good time to write some first impressions. I bought this bike from Damian Harris Cycles for £2500, intending to commute to work, a 22 mile each way moderately hilly journey, which seemed a bit...

This morning, I did a test run of my intended commute, 24 miles each way, on my new bike. Just getting my head round the route with little traffic in the way. Getting there went pretty well, took a little over two hours mostly on eco and with the second bar (of 5) vanishing about a mile from...

Hi all, I've finally gone and bought an electric bike, a Cube Reaction with the Bosch system, which arrived yesterday. Unfortunately i only had time to set it up before taking kids to dancing and was 9pm after I'd got them all in the bath and to bed... So after a very short test ride in sub...

Hi all! I'm looking to start cycling to work this summer, primarily for fitness but it'll also be nice to save the daily £5 fuel cost. It's a 25 mile each way journey, and although I did manage a 27 mile trail ride last summer it took me nearly 3 hours on my old mountain bike! So I'm looking...
