bikes

I bumped into someone riding a Ritchey Breakaway road bike while on holiday recently. I quite fancy one but the steel ones aren't available over here as far as I can see. They're not cheap either. Anyone know anything about them or something similar?

Does anyone own a Raleigh M-Trax road bike? I have one from probably early 90's and have seen one for sale in the past. Every time you talk about M-Trax people talk about mountain bikes. I thought I'd ask if there's any of their road bikes out there still being used? BTW mine is only a 4000R...

I was just thinking about selling my bike on the way home, and I have talked to the bikes I love in the past... and I wondered... in a world where you can talk to a bike... can such a bike also read your thoughts? Please only answer if you talk to your bike.

Does anyone carry 2bikes on their car, but not on the roof? I’m looking at rear mounted carrying 1 ebike and a 29er, I could carry the 29er on the roof, but what is the best, most secure way you carry bikes...? I don’t have a towbar, and main dealer fitting is around £450, then the cost of a...

School me up on these two bikes, or bikes like them. I know the geometry is a little relaxed but I really want to know if all that talk of carbon layup really does give a smoother ride than (say) a TCR or Supersix. I rode a Defy and while it kind of felt a tad more comfortable, I couldn't tell...

Will it detect 2 different cadence sensors or do I need to make 2 profile's?. installed a new sensor and had to redetect it on bike 1

I have a Specialiazed Roubaix Elite all carbon frame and forks and would like to know if the cold can affect its strength and durability. The bike is kept in my shed which is not heated. Yesterday, the temperature in there was 2 degrees and that's day time. Tonight, it will drop below 0 outside...

I'm not sure if this makes sense, however, my cheapo mtb has got just terrible rear brakes and I have no idea why, there is plenty of meat still left on the brake pads (mind you they are the age of the bike, at least 8years old and I doubt their sale value when new has ever been more than 50p)...

While at Ely (to visit the cathedral and drink some beer with some mates), we popped into the small museum, only for me to discover it had an exhibit about James Moore - reputedly the first person to win an official bike race. This is a pic of me standing beside his machine. (It has adjustable...

I thought a lot of you might be interested in this cycling scheme in Zambia supported by a charity which builds rugged bikes for people in rural areas. View: https://youtu.be/ls7eq5JoSIg

That's a bit heavy, I hope they were insured: http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/cycling-weekly-suffers-theft-up-to-150000-of-bikes-and-equipment-stolen-360548 I bet they are in a container on their way to Russia or the FYR by now.

Might look like a piece of modern art; it's actually a bicycle graveyard in China...

I am considering a new bike over the next 12 months - I do mainly clubs runs of about 60 miles and the odd sportive. I sold a pinarello and found myself much more comfy on my Kuota Kharma - I do worry about the race position of some bikes (ie as in suitability for me) Appearance and look are...

Hiya , I was looking around the net to see what colour schemes etc Hill Specials had circa 1950, I came across this1980's bike with these pedals on , I've never seen them before , what if any was deemed the benefit of them ? (Apart from being handy to block and prop up the bike ! )

The head of Beacon School in Banstead is insisting that children (11-18yrs) cycling to school must obtain a permit from the school, in the form of a number plate, to be displayed beneath the bike saddle. He's also threatening to lock up any bike belonging to a pupil who infringes his rules...

Prompted from another thread. Am lucky my other half knows the value of them. but i am hoping they will get handed down to one of my granddaughters. where would you like to see yours go.:okay:

Great quality, rear mounted bike carrier, for Laguna estate. Cost £££££ new, but now we've sold the car, it needs to find a new home. Mid Devon. £35. Will try to post pics, asap!

I’ve never seen these before.... Seems they’ve been banned in Amsterdam Linky.

Would like to hear from any US owners of Canyon bikes and experiences with customer service. I have read review after review from EU either being a 5 star or a 1 star. The story goes like this. Customer's who rated 5 stars received a problem free bike and life is good. Customers dealing...

I don't know what they would be like to pedal without battery power. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/datonko/delfast-the-e-bike-that-can-go-for-236-miles-on-on

Are these a thing? There's been a bike chained up on a street near me for at least a month in an easy-to-see location with a useless looking lock. With the state of bike crime near me, I can't for the life of me understand why no one has nicked it or claimed it. It made me wonder if the police...

i got two bikes last week and like some help in identifying the models and year please the first is a Falcon EC72 i have seen a catalouge of one but it was a ten speed and mine is a five speed the other bike is a John Fern cyclocross with 531 competition tubing any help would be most...

Looking at the winds outside tonight, tempted to fit a sail to my bike and have some fun.

The Mango website appears as normal - https://www.mangobikes.com but it is reported elsewhere that they have ceased trading - http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/mango-ceases-trading-thanks-to-brexit-seeks-buyer/022018 There are various reports from the last few months about the company moving to...

I really like the look of the Trek bikes. The Madone would be my choice, had I not got an aero bike already. Really like the look of the Emonda too. Has anyone had or got a Trek road bike? What’s your experience? Has anyone used their Project One customisation?

Ran across this article on the BBC website today and thought it made for interesting reading: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-40600234 Have to say, they are becoming far more common. Remember the first time I saw one and my reaction was a cross between "wtf" and "that's a...
