turbo trainer bike computers
family life now means pretty much all midweek riding is now on a turbo trainer. I pass the boredom with a laptop on a stool in front of me but I was wondering if there were any "indoor bike" computers out there to help add a bit of structure, thinking maybe a heart rate monitor. From my li...

Keeping down gear packed
I normally keep all my down gear (sleeping bags, quilts and jackets) nicely lofted at home except for when I pack them on rides in stuff sacks/dry bags. Never made my ride on Saturday so I'm going next weekend instead. I could be lazy and leave everything packed on the bike or I could take the down ...

Re: Spot Tracker Wanted thread.
Anyone got a spare Spot I could borrow for the November BB200 please?
Obviously happy to pay funds, just contacted Spot and don't quite fancy stumping the £70 fees just a one off event.

What powerbank
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a powerbank... usual moon on a stick, not too bulky/heavy, able to give a couple of charges and able to take the odd knock etc.
I'm tempted with the Alpkit ones but if other types are used by the boner masses.
Cheers

Re: Sit Mat
Now the little Barneys are a bit older I just use one of their old baby changing mats from a carry bag.
It's waterproof, has a bit of padding and can easily be rolled up.

Re: Varicose veins... ouch!

Nothing cosmetic about getting mine done, they were incredibly irritating and I would end up subconsciously scratching them and breaking...

So I've just had my varicose veins removed, bloody hell it's a lot more painful than I expected.
Anyone else had them removed and what was your recovery time like?

Re: Epilepsy, riding bikes and bike packing.
Hi Loki, I too have been diagnosed with epilepsy, I'm now 53. I went through a phase of losing confidence over all sorts of issues including should I ride alone or is it fair to ride with others etc. I've been bike-packing for over 10 years now and reckon I have a good balance and management. I make...

Re: Universal front pouch
Hi Dave,
The wildcat gets my vote. Fits on a number of different options/sizes of bags and and different bars types.
You can also easily get replacement straps when you lose them like a buffoon!

So... I may or may not be silly enough to attempt a ~199km ride later in the year around mid-Wales but at the moment I don't have suitable lights such a long ride, what what would you recommend please? Can't afford a dynamo or owt fancy like that, any suggestions on good strategies would be extremel...

Re: Warm gloves - but not too cumbersome
I bought a cheapo pair of "lobster" gloves from PlanetX a few weeks ago. Cheap as chips and more than did a job on the only very cold ride I've done this year.
