    Woosh Woosh Rambletta Storage Bag?

    Just taken delivery of two Rambletta suspension bikes mainly for use when touring with our caravan. We plan to load them into our car and are looking for storage bags to avoid sratches etc. Plenty on eBay and Amazon but none appear to be deep enough to accommodate the Rambletta which I measure...

    My first commute!

    After lurking on this excellent forum for some time and being inspired by tales of commuting success, I decided to take the plunge. I ordered a Kalkhoff Pro Connect Disc 8 from 50 Cycles which arrived a couple of weeks ago. I had a couple of short trial runs to check the bike out and then went...
