I have an intense dislike for wire bead tyres. Had to switch a pair to a different set of rims this morning and it was torturous. 🚲

AWW YISS!

This’ll be the second Cascada Land Wool Shirt for me. Super comfy for cycling. 🚲

Wanted an insulated bike bottle. Decided to use the purchase to add another splash of colour to my bikes. 🚲

🚲 I just backed JACK The Bike Rack on @kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/…

Two reviews from places I trust:

The more things I try with this bike the more I like it. It’s so versatile and dependable.

A few weeks ago it was a touring bike, lately it’s been my commuter, and now I’ve prepared it for a gravel rallye. 🚲

I really like seeing ABS braking innovation for bicycles. Anything that makes cycling, particularly e-assisted cycling safer and more approachable for people is a good thing, in my mind. 🚲

In my continuing search for pants that work well and look good on the bike and off and don’t disintegrate quickly, I just ordered two models from the Swiss company Riding Culture based on a preview by the German site MTB News. I hope they fit. 🚲

Two articles about the “Migration Gravel Race” (which happened a while ago) that I enjoyed. 🚲

This company keeps impressing me: Hammerhead Partners with Justin Williams and L39ION of Los Angeles

Happy to see them sign such an important and transformative cycling team.

While I like the feel of the Fabric silicone handle bar tape, even closely wrapped it doesn’t provide nearly as much cushioning as the Specialized S-Wrap HD. No handle bar tape I’ve tried over the past three years beats the Specialized for gravel use for me. 🚲
