2019 London Bike Show
The end of March saw the 2019 London Bike Show run between Friday the 28th and Sunday the 31st. I popped along on the Friday before the weekend crowds to see the stand out bikes and brands. The top two brands at the show for me this year were Ribble and Canyon but there were […]
Bowman Pilgrims Disc – the best affordable endurance bike yet?
The Bowman Pilgrims Disc is the second generation of the company’s road plus disc braked bike. Whilst the geometry is largely unchanged there are a raft of changes which should make this an affordable and compelling choice for many riders. Back in early 2015, I rode a Bowman Palace and posted some very positive thoughts […]

Those discussions also led to the first bike […]
Shimano Dura Ace 9000 Mechanical and Di2 first ride…

I was lucky enough to be asked by Jaguar and Team Sky to try the Bike Radar training hub at the London Bike show this week. The Training hub was effectively a selection of suppliers of fitness products and services who collectively provided a wide ranging experience for those who bought tickets. Whilst the price […]
Shutt Velo Rapide Winter Range, Sale and London Bike Show
This post is much later than originally planned, but I think the timing is improved by the fact that my friends at Shutt VR are having their winter sale, they’re about to attend the London Bike Show perhaps giving you a chance to see the kit in the flesh, and I’ve been spending time riding […]
