New road bike, advice please with options

[vickster]

If you join British cycling, you get 10% off at Halfords and some very useful benefits including 3rd party indemnity and legal advice. Costs around £30 a year

You need to use in store though, however I'm pretty sure Halfords will match their online prices, or you can click and collect for in store payments

Didn't know you couldn't take road bikes on cycle paths!

You do anything you want on any bike but why buy a road bike to go on cycle paths when there are more suitable options?

Bike is home I'm very happy with it! Only thing I'm not happy with is that I need a certain size Allen key to attach the holder for my water, and I have every size key except the one I need. Argh!!!!!!

First proper ride done on the bike. Much faster than other bike, average speed is 10kph faster without any extra effort which is nice!

What did you actually get?

 

[aesir22]

Carrera parva. Reduced price as well which was nice!
