There’s been a 677% year-on-year sales uplift of £500+ bikes due to #Lockdown. That is #phenomenal and represents an eye-opening game-changing shift in transport choices. Wouldn’t it be lovely to see more bikes and less cars on our roads. See here for more details: https://buff.ly/2TplZCX#bike#cyclinglife
Backpacks galore
Here’s a nice selection of the best biking backpacks around to suit a wide range of budgets. With some sensible tips too! https://buff.ly/3cxjOFdCan’t argue with that!
Speeding drivers
This is good – Police across the UK have launched a three-week blitz on speeding drivers to keep vulnerable road users safe. How sane and sensible is that? Good news indeed. However, we also need to not just clamp down on the wrong-doers, but educate everyone on sharing the road and not waging war out there on our roads. https://buff.ly/2ZeQdwp
Mountain bike helmets
There’s always lots of controversy around bike helmets. Mention the words “bike” and “helmet” in the same sentence and opinion will immediately be polarised quicker than you can say the word “Brexit”!Surely though, it’s a given that you wear one if you’re mountain biking? – but what’re the best options available right now?
