A dyno is it? You would think they have been invented nowI have no idea about cycling kit but is there any sort of bicycle phone charger? One where the phone is charge via energy created from pedalling, similar to the lights you used to be able to get, technical name escapes me.
I use it for a lot more data, power, avg speed etc. It is useful to map a route from the start so I know I am doing 50-60 miles etc when I start out. I can then plan a cafe stop if necessary or bring enough stuff with me.I don't believe in GPS navigation. I like to unfold and read a map. It gives me a chance to stop, relax and put my feet on the ground. The next thing you know we will have bikes that steer themselves. Where I live the big problem is punctures; there are so many plants with thorns. They do a brisk business in puncture-resistant tyres and tubes.
Love to do this but don't think I have the legs!Just found this bad boy. I'm organising a 'Lands End to John O'Groats' ride in September. Getting me a support vehicle...!

Come off my bike yesterday, big lump on my leg! Damn ice!
Ouch. I'm ramping up the training when the roads start to dry out. Probably a couple of weeks in June then!
It is a big concern. A small number of impatient drivers who hate the thought of spending 20s behind a bike. BUT times are perhaps changing.I forgot I started this thread.
My riding has been fairly limited this year so far......the weathers been shit....its grim up north.....
I was knocked off my bike last October & I have to admit, its hit my riding confidence a bit.....struggling to trust any drivers at present....I've been riding for over 30 years but I'm struggling to get past this fear at present.....
Maybe it'll get better when I finally finish my new (old) road bike build & get up the lake district for a few weekends in spring....
.Hardknott pass, here I come:stig:
Last two wks after riding up Portsdown Hill from Cams Hall - 5x up Farlington Av from Havant Rd. Its very tough but you will make rapid progress if you did that twice a week for a month
...onwards & upwards PUSB
Yes...live near Fareham & often trawl up & over Portsdown Hill & back. For some bizzre reason I decided to punish myself with the Farl Av bit...x5. Doing the London to Brighton in JuneAre you local then Bazza? Weirdly I was talking to the wife the other day about going up Farlington Av as part of my training.
I've gone up Portsdown Hill from the other side a few times (past the large Qinetiq facility) when I was training for London2Paris a couple of years ago.
Going the other way, I've also got the hills around Goodwood as well. Plenty to get up!!

I don't cycle but have made it a resolution to get a bike. Got the peaks on my doorstep.
This is the problem around cov, no decent hills around. You need to cycle 20 odd miles to get to something challenging I.e. Edge hill around Kineton.
Do you get out with the Cov Sportive Cycle group or whatever is called?Yes get back on the steed. I tend to go out every weekend (clearly Sunday was short Lived!). We leave from baginton and generally do roughly 40-50 in the winter. Hope my leg allows me to go out this weekend!
yes that's the one!Do you get out with the Cov Sportive Cycle group or whatever is called?
Sorry mate, I may be mistaken but you on about tubular tyes?Used too, still have a set of bontragers but tend to use clinchers for safety. Pain in the ass to glue but good for climbing if that's your thing
