I have the vitoria ribena atm, I like them. I got them cos that’s what they had in the shop I was in.

Why do bike shops never ever have what you want

There’s loads of exposure lights that will do the job - you don’t need to get the top of the range one

Did this one on Monday, been out a few times since - I live on Arran so it’s my local stomping ground :slight_smile: The String is a helluva climb, especially without a proper warmup first - still, you got the hardest part of the day done straight away! The south of the island is deceptively hilly (like you say, up down up down up down all the time!) and very dispiriting if you can’t get a rhythm going - the north loop has one big climb before/after Lochranza but is mostly flat apart from that. I live in the south so it’s perfect training terrain - just back from a sprints & hills session in time for the TdF highlights :slight_smile:

What the hell is this

Maybe ban taking your kitten for a walk?

Love how despite claiming to be some sort of urban think-tank galaxy brain, they offer up absoutely zero alternative for the cyclist apart frkm ‘get off the vehicle free towpath and back into murder town, bozos’.

The soundtrack is one of shrill bells interspersed with the squeal of brakes.

Nah.

Some travel so manically they are called cyclopaths.

Nah.

These ancient routes…

Nah.
