So I’ve waited about 4 years to purchase a carbon fibre bike. With my recent interest in duathlon, and my occasional dabble into time trials I thought it prudent to purchase an awesome bike which would fair me well in these disciplines (predominantly duathlons). Behold my Cannondale Slice 105… [More]

If you’re looking for a stylish, chic city bike then it simply doesn’t get any better than this. This is a beautifully crafted ladies bike. Look at the beautiful curves, elegantly designed for comfort, performance and grace. The handlebars colour co-ordinate with the always comfortable Brooks saddle.... [More]

It took a good few years, quite a bit of saving and a lot of self justification, but I did it. I made the switch. Aluminium no longer steadfastly supports me on those long rides. I now had a sleek, stiff and speedy carbon wonder machine. For those of you who are thinking about taking the plunge I wholeheartedly urge you to go for it! [More]

Here on Daily Cycle, thanks to the addition of Nathan, we have been writing about city cycling and commuting for some time. So I thought it would be nice to highlight some of the awesome city bikes available on the market today, many of which also make excellent entry level road bikes.... [More]

I’m a great fan of recycling bikes (yep, see what I did there? Re-cycling?), so here’s a quick article about what to do with an old bike, or where to look if you want a restoration project.

Just added two new additions to the shop… check ‘em out now… [More]

I get a lot questions about entry level road bikes and entry level cycling gear. As a result I do write various posts about these things. However, as I have mentioned in the past, these posts quickly become out of date because bikes evolve all the time. This is fine, I’m happy to write more posts, but people searching the net looking for answers may end up on an out of date post. So, to resolve this issue I have created a new category dedicated to Entry Level Road Bikes.... [More]

As any city cyclist knows, safety and visibility are inseparably linked in the context of city cycling, and any way to make yourself more visible is definitely a bright idea. So let’s shed a little light on the subject of visibility, particularly at night, specifically with reference to what is of course a legal requirement for a bicycle – front and rear lighting.

The important advice in relation to lights is ‘always use them’. If the streetlamps are on, your bike lights should be on. You will feel much safer around other road users if you know you are visible to them. This is part of your presence on the road, which increases your safety no end.... [More]
