Re: The Cycling Thread
The Canyon's due for delivery tomorrow....
I've not felt this excited about getting a new bike since getting a Special Edition Sliver Chopper in 1977

Re: The Cycling Thread
Strava heat map - this was posted on our group's Facebook page, it does look as though us Brits are truly addicted to Strava.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I reckon there is a cycling route map to be made out of that data. Particularly if you get speeds out of it too. Would probably be more effective then google maps.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Hi everyone. I am thinking of getting a road bike for commuting and trying to get a bit fitter.
Can anyone recommend something around £500 that will stand the test of time and not need upgrading too soon. I have seen this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/r.../rp-prod104651 Any comments ????? |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Most of the £500 quid bikes are pretty good these days. There are 4 which look half decent on www.wiggle.co.uk too for under 500.
If you can go and try a couple out, see which fit/ you like the look of. Also depending on wether you are commuting through winter, consider getting one with mud guards like this: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bbd/ro...nf_BBRW&bike=1 I've got one of these for winter training (with a campag groupset admittedly) and its been good as gold. |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Wouldn't go for the one you'd found, there's no need for a triple chainset. Nothing wrong with Ridley bikes though
The Ribble that Clunk suggested is a better option, as he says you can fit mudguards, which are nice if its wet
