My favourite SPD shoes are Specialized cadet ones. They feel like wearing trainers when you're walking in them. Uppers are pretty lightweight and dry quickly - which I've found to be more useful than waterproofing which never really works, waterproof socks work better. They may not be amazing for in...

It may have been brought back by one of the original Viking expeditions!

Old tyre dynamos have even worse drag than the hub ones. I borrowed this cracker of a bike tonight from our campsite in Sweden to take a supply run into town and have a pint. https://i.ibb.co/84K36Ls3/IMG-20250603-190543739.jpg Gave the dynamo a test and realised why the bike didn't have a front bra...

Test fitted to the electric shopper bike. Charges my phone so that's a win https://i.postimg.cc/yNq14Mfr/IMG-20250525-075826623-HDR.jpg Not sure why electric bikes don't have USB ports on them anyway I am currently on the Danish island of Bornholm, out in the Baltic Sea as part of a 125cc Monkey bi...

Just drill some holes in the top of a PET bottle cap and take it with you?

Maybe don't think about their aerodynamics on their own but as part of the bike and rider together. If you can use them to smoothly move air around you then they could make it more aerodynamic?

A friend was using these recently - seemed to work really well

a Pedalcell Dynamo https://i.postimg.cc/wTntGvjH/IMG-20250524-133314215.jpg Been looking for a reasonably priced used one for a while. Like, 2 years? Patience paid off. I swap between two bikes for bikepacking and while I thought about getting a dynamo wheel it would be tough as both bikes have fron...

Saw this on STW - some old fashioned cross country riding fuelled by whisky!

What's the best way to pay you? Cheers Tom

If you DM me we can arrange a PayPal payment if that suits you?

Now SOLD Got this hoodie from eBay but it's just a tiny bit too snug on me.

I used to find that layering up in a lightweight bag ended up stretching the down so you lost insulation. It was a particular problem for my bum as I sleep on my side at my bum always seems to stick out... It works better with a quilt. I did one night at -6 in my Vesper quilt with my thermal longs ...

I thought we were meant to poop in a bag and hang it in a tree like a dog walker?

In a world without shareholders or children, this wouldn't be a problem!

It's a nice track but the world moves on

Us bikers are smart fellows, we'll find a way. #bikerafting

I like to slather on the sudocream!

Best frame bag I ever had was the official Salsa one for the Spearfish. Made by Revelate designs.

Was totally waterproof including multiple river crossing immersions down Glen Feshie after all the bridges were washed away.

Similarly, I often wear some Endura gravel shorts. Very lightweight, neither tight nor baggy and have been comfortable. They are designed to go over bib shorts but I just wear normal boxers. I wear them as day to day shorts in summer. They have pockets and vents and things like that and dry very qui...
