When you order a jersey, it’s normally all about the design. Right? It is for me. At least, mostly. I like to buy something that I like the look of. I might have a peek at the fabric too, just to make sure it’s not 100% cotton and going to make me freeze if I sweat too much. But otherwise, it’s mostly about the way… Read More »Terrain Clothing Jersey
I’d been looking for a bar bag for the gravel bike for a little while when I stumbled across Jango Rolls. Don’t get me wrong, I’d found the usual brands. Restrap’s bags looked nice.

Alas, it didn’t come with chainstay protection so this seemed like the ideal chance to stick it to his bike and have him ride about to test the… Read More »Raw Silence Chain Guard Kit
I’ve had a camera to capture riding since more or less the time I started riding. In 2015, I had a Poloroid Cube – a sort of earlier competition to the GoPro Hero Session – which was pretty dreadful.
