bikes

I saw a few kids bikes with drops bars from a couple of main companies that make good adult bikes. The brifters look huge! How can the kids even be comfortable on those hoods? Seems like more examples of not very good design or is it a case of the marketing guys saying "build it and they will...

I'd be interested if anyone knows anything about this -

No, me neither... ..

I am an engineer, so I have a good degree of mechanical sympathy. If I hear, feel or see something that is not right whilst riding, I stop and investigate. This most certainly cannot be said for my bother and his kids. My nephew left a bike at my dads house with instructions for me to take a...

Clearout time!!!! All the prices include postage but can be collected from the Manchester area and I'll knock a good few quid off (min of £5). I've priced to sell off online prices so let me know if I'm out on anything but no stupid offers! Photos are all HERE and are in order of how the stuff...

I have bought a bike frame in the past on ebay. And checked out some others. I always chose local sellers so that I could pop round and see the thing before bidding. But ebay seemed to be snotty about this and was less than clear when I asked for a clear answer about whether you could...

A t the risk of displaying my total ignorance regarding the subject l would like to know if women still ride so called "ladies bikes" ? Not just idle curiosity because l have seen (local to me in France) a really nice Motobecane example

I have seen videos of some of these before but not had a go on any, the recumbent hand trike is the one I have seen most of. Does anyone on here ride a hand bike? or ridden one, I imagine its hard on the arms and shoulders.

Upon my arrival at work last night, I was told that we (the staff) are no longer allowed to store our bicycles in the boiler room... instead, we're expected to keep them outside the store, locked to the Sheffield stands provided for customers. This made my blood boil because my 7 minute commute...

Our son rides a 16" Carrera cosmos. The seat post is quite high but when testing the 20" at Halfords I didn't trust him to ride it in the store. He could sit on it ok but it's right at his limit. A few months back now but I guess he's probably the right size now. He's 5 but a tall 5. It'll be...

What can be done with them? Reason for asking is a friend of mine that lives locally to me had a bike left unlocked outside her house. Friend then phones the police on the 101 number who said they would come out and collect it. Bike was moved inside her property for safe keeping. Three weeks...

I have a Witter ZX302 cycle carrier for sale. It has never been used and still has the protective plastic over the lights. It does have a scratch on one of the cycle supports and on the top of the black light and number plate surround. Please see photographs. Selling as I have changed my car...

There seems to be a lot of interest at the moment in gravel or adventure bikes. From someone who went from a hybrid to a road bike it doesn't interest me as i still like to take a chance on our roads. From my observations there doesn't seem as many people riding on the road as there was a few...

Fat Bikes on Countryfile this evening. Did anyone see it? I've recorded it but not watched yet. :smile:

Tern P9 Anyone feel this is an Ok folding bike. Due to purchase a second hand bike.

basicaly my new bike since Christmas is muddy and wet from my last work experience at stables. I know most people wash their bike by using a garden hose but we don’t have a garden hose but I should wash it this weekend coming up because I need to. But how without a hose?

So i have some questions about taking a normal bike on a train as: 1. If you do this do you have to reserve a space? 2. Are there any restrictions 3. what happens if your bicycle gets stolen on the train? 4. any other info? I'm wondering as i've applied for a job which i can only get to by a...

Hi, My wife & I are going touring with our aluminium road bikes with panniers from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam, Netherlands where we will then stay with our friends in an Airbnb house for the weekend. Our plan is to get bike boxes free from our local bike shop & bring the bikes on the...

I'm now the proud owner of a fat bike. Couldn't find an image thread for them so I thought I would start one. What do you guys have out there? What size tyres you running?

Sadly Old Father Time will just not leave me alone. I have a nice Giant carbon road bike and a decent Giant hard tail. But as I get older I am thinking............swap them both for a good quality gravel bike ??? As they are still developing I just wonder what other CCrs think of the latest...

As per thread title, no other requirements other than pure self indulgence, this is definitely the plus one. It's through the cycle to work scheme and was thinking of something you would only bring out over the few months of summer, but I've no real experience of carbon other than it appears to...

i apologise if this has been posted before as it goes back to 2016. I didn’t realise he was an avid and competitive cyclist and have just come across this video which features the auction of his collection. View: https://youtu.be/Wyuli4JXNxo @woodbutcher check out that custom Colnago and...

Have been looking around for a new bike purchase, ready for when I finally get my claim resolved for incident back in October. Anyway, I have an Aero Road bike and also a reasonably Racey Geometry Road Bike that was all set up to use for hillier efforts, prior to getting damaged. In looking...

by Tom Ambrose An interesting read, but I've now read it and it's time to move on. Quite heavy so postage might be £3.00 Offer runs for a couple of weeks and then it goes in the Oxfam bag Cheers!

Having become more interested in bikes again after years away from cycling, one of the things I noticed was how radically different the majority of new bikes look compared to what everybody was riding back in the 1980's and even 1990's. Even a relatively cheap bike from the 80's will at least...
