eleased after exercise flush through me and the fresh air makes me feel alive conversely a half hour stuck in the car with the inane cackles of commercial radio and my own farts makes me feel depressed posted in cycling leave a reply christmas ideas for the cyclist yawn posted on december 11 2012 by aaron reply it s the holiday season so it seems that every other cycling blog is doing a post about gifts for the cyclist in your life seriously is it really that hard think about it cyclists might just be about the easiest people in the world to buy for the lifestyle of the cyclist is all about gadgets funny clothes and repairs a new jacket some shorts black always black or even a couple of inner tubes stuffed in a merino sock all of these would be greatly appreciated by any cyclist or think a little more outside of the box a subscription to arty fredzine rouleur or maybe a professional bicycle fitting where they stick magic electro whatsits all over your body and you dance around like a cheap toy marionette in front of a camera at least that what i would do if i were covered in magic electro whatsits wait i have a good one jot down the make and model of the cyclist s favourite bike they ll have several trust me and get it priced for new quality gear and brake cables a local bike shop lbs should be up for pricing and setting up this awesome gift make sure they have a full season to use up the voucher just in case they have recently had a cable overhaul you see i m an ideas man boom the thing is you really don t need a blog to tell you what to buy a cyclist if they re anything like every single cyclist i know they ve already written down a lengthy list of gear they want posted in cycling tagged cycling leave a reply brrrr posted on december 10 2012 by aaron reply last week my friend and i took on a 50km hack through sherwood forest on our mountain bikes it was super fun but really really cold usually on a long ride i will shed the arm and leg warmers after half hour sunday was different other than a sunny half mile of singletrack as we arrived in the village of walesby it was bitterly cold the temperature made for a tough ride we struggled to keep our muscles warm and this dramatically increased the fatigue 50km is par for us at the weekend and often we push on past 65km off road but i can t remember ever being so exhausted even when we double up on the red and blue routes at sherwood pines including the windy ride in and back from mansfield i d even been riding in the week so short term fitness shouldn t have been an issue like a windy day a cold day means for a tougher workout but i wonder if exercising in the cold actually makes you fitter probably not i assume the cold weather means that wear and tear is increased anyway i faced another sort of temperature based danger today as i powered up one of the hills on my commute home i could feel the back wheel slip in a fresh sheen of ice forming on the tarmac tonight will be an icy on be careful out there tomorrow posted in cycling tagged cycling weather leave a reply commuting tips posted on november 25 2012 by aaron reply i have been commuting for about a month now soon i will break even on the fuel savings i have made against the additional equipment i have bought people who think commuting is free are deluded to commute properly especially over the sort of distances i travel 44 km roundtrip you need the right equipment and it needs to be maintained racks panniers and lights are needed my rack was around 30 my cheap starter panniers around the the 40 mark my sks raceblades were also in the same ballpark and i have spent around 100 on lighting 2 x knog blinders and a ssc p7 lamp you need to be seen and you need to see where you re going i already had a yellow hi vis cycling jacket shorts jerseys and base layers but these things get worn out quickly with regular all weather riding especially when you come off at the level crossing just outside collingham so replacements have to be funded i also had to invest in winter gloves new shoes covers and some arm and leg warmers so as you can see this gig ain t free that said i ve halved my weekly diesel bill and i will continue to save every time i ride to work the thing is every time i commute i learn something new and become a better cyclist so i thought it would be cool to share a few tips on here you need lights but they don t have to cost the earth get a rechargeable blinker front and back and a cheap ssc p7 headlight from amazon or ebay you will be amazed how powerful they are for around 30 fenders aka mudguards are a must fenders will keep your bike and your legs much drier and cleaner grit and dirt in your drive chain or brakes will lessen the equipment s lifecycle and create all sorts of annoying creeks and squeaks i mistakenly bought raceblades as the bike shop said they would be the only ones that would fit my disc brakes a crock you want a full length fender like the sks chromoplastic i have just ordered some or crud roadracer mk2 don t worry about weight you want your bike to be reasonably light especially if your commute has some climbs but don t get hung up on carbon or the most expensive lightweight gear you re going to be carrying a second set of clothes some waterproofs possibly a laptop and your lunch so shaving a few grams off your bar ends won t really make that much difference also replacing carbon parts is expensive if you take a fall and you will tyres tyres tyres i have had two tumbles because my skinny race tyres are simply not up to the conditions it s november the roads are slippery and the cycle trails are boggy today i ordered a pair of cyclocross tyres to see me through the rest of the winter my slicks will have to sit this out baby wipes and roll on deodorant keep these in your locker or desk if like me you don t have a shower at work you can keep fresh and clean for the work day keep a spare pair of socks at work too clean and lube depending on how far you re commuting and the conditions you ll need to ensure your bike is washed down and properly lubricated you don t need fancy cleaning sprays but a bucket of soapy water and or a hose are a must remember to use a water displacing lubricant spray around your components and chain oil to keep the drivetrain running nicely in all conditions finally have a healthy snack at hand you re using far more calories than being sat behind the wheel you might not make it to your usual lunchtime so don t get caught buying crap from the vending machine have a box of cereals in your drawer or some fruit refuel properly don t throwaway all your hard work i ll probably post some more tips from time to time so do drop in or feel free to ask me any questions you might have laters posted in culture cycling tagged commuting cycling leave a reply commute posted on october 30 2012 by aaron reply yesterday i did my first full cycle commute for over 10 years i have ridden past my place of work numerous times on weekend and week night training rides via cycleroute 64 it s under 15 miles so represents a decent commute especially on a fresh october almost november morning so sunday evening i ironed and rolled up my trousers and shirt and placed them in one of my panniers in the other pannier i placed my u lock and my waterproofs my hush puppies were already positioned under my desk at work after filling up on fresh coffee and shreddies i braved the crisp morning air and began peddling to work dressed in my usual black lycra but with the addition of newly procured planet x winter gloves and pearl izumi arm and leg warmers to ensure i didn t reach work half frozen to be honest it was fabulous while my lightweight boardman felt unusually lumbering under my rear now fitted with a rack and laden panniers the feeling of self propelled progress through the waking streets of newark was exhilarating i knew the route well but i gave myself a good twenty minutes buffer before i had to be at my desk i didn t need it i arrived on time and feeling brilliant i could sense the quiet admiration of my colleagues even if they did jest about my lycra clad legs i was well prepared when i got to the office my clothes were dry and having been rolled not folded looked fine i m someone who overheats easily so i packed baby wipes to freshen up and a roll on deodorant to keeps things smelling good it all worked a treat the roll on and wipes now live in my desk ready for the next cycle commute unfortunately due to my wife working shifts i will have to use the car for work most days but i should be able to ride in at least twice a week i worked out this will save me around 20 a week in fuel and help me continue to become a better cyclist the only issue being that my new knog blinders while being absolutely brilliant at drawing driver attention didn t light up the journey enough for me to tackle the unlit trail part of route 64 in the dark on the way home maybe next time we ll see my next commute is friday i can t bloody wait posted in uncategorized leave a reply halfords occasionally hellfrauds posted on october 26 2012 by aaron 3 halfords gets a bad press like the us gadget store best buy it doesn t lack annoyed critics on the internet eager to complain about the ineptitude of its employees on cycling forums it is often cruelly dismissed as hellfrauds to those uninitiated or non british halfords is an automotive retailer and workshop that is also the uk s largest bicycle retailer last year i bought one of halford s flagship bikes the boardman hybrid pro the only place to purchase this excellent range it s a smart aluminium framed flatbar road bike with a full carbon fork avid elixir 5 hydraulic brakes a bb30 fsa energy chainset and a sram rival groupset with the lovely semi carbon flatbar doubletap shifters it s lovely i added a set of easton ec90 carbon bar ends for comfort and i haven t looked back yep the richey wheelset isn t the lightest but i think along with cockroaches they re one of the few things that would survive a nuclear holocaust when i bought the bike through my work s tax free bike to work scheme i was dubious of halfords reputation as a nasty faceless corporation with muppets manning the counters my first experience of halfords customer service peeps was in january of this year when i placed my order at the boardman approved lincoln store i was delighted to find that the two guys assisting me were both knowledgable and helpful they went through the pros and cons of each model and explained what accessories i would need i didn t let them know at the time i was a cycle nerd along with being many other kinds of nerd as my wife would attest who had already decided on his purchase and i didn t need to it was a splendid experience that was fortified later when i popped in for some advice on some accessories that sadly they didn t have in stock the assistant a different but equally informed young chap provided me with the product codes needed we subsequently had an involved conversation about orange mountain bikes one of which i own and he was building my second visit to a halfords store was in the middle of the summer when my hydraulic avid brakes had gained a rather unfortunate air bubble i checked youtube and other sources and found that avid elixir brakes are a pure breed bastard to bleed and require significant tlc i decided to try out my warranty and the fact that i hadn t yet used my promised 6 week service this time i visited my local newark non boardman store i was apprehensive newark s bikehut halfords name for its bicycle arm is small tucked away to the back of a modest floorspace i had visited a few weeks before to have a look and view its stock on this first visit i was turned off by one of its employees a middle aged hippy type guy who was far too full of his own bicycling knowledge and prowess he was waxing profusely about his own skill and subtly running down his eye rolling colleague i left thinking he was an epic douchebag upon returning with my hobbled air bubbled boardman in tow i was relieved that the long haired douchebag was nowhere to be seen and i approached the counter within seconds of explaining my issue to a different but likeable older gentleman the very same shower avoiding baby boomer had emerged from the workshop dungeon and was taking over my query no doubt desperate to have a go at something other than the usual fairy bikes and broken sub 300 carrera s that must dominate his day now i must take much of what i have written above back he proved to be the epitome of customer service and when he learned i was quite the enthusiastic cyclist proved understanding never condescending and was visually pleased to sort out my issue i left perplexed a little disappointed at myself and hopeful the next day i received a voicemail explaining that while the avids had proved quite the bitch as youtube had promised my hirsute friend had sorted my issue and had calibrated my gears for good measure even better when i collected my beloved bicycle en route home that night he had charged the work to my 6 week service and i had nothing to pay result 2 halfords today was my third visit to halfords i have decided to fully fulfil my dream of turning my hybrid pro into a proper commuter ride so fulfilling the governments desire that i leave my car at home i needed a rack fenders better commuter lights and panniers i pulled up at the mansfield store somewhat worried the branch had large and numerous automotive doors down one side and the actual showroom looked squeezed off to one side but upon opening the doors i was buoyed by the sight of a mezzanine floor of cycle goodness with boardman bikes clearly visible this was a boardman approved halfords shame on me i entered hopeful that all my needs would be satisfied upon perusing the store i found a topeak rack marked dx that i assumed would be disc compatible the halfords website recommended a similar rack for the disc equipped boardman i approached the counter confident that what i held in my hand would service my needs i was faced with the sort of gormless fuckwit only a farrelly brothers movie would dare present as a believable representation of an operational human being he looked blankly at me as if i had asked him to name each and every star in the known and unknown galaxies he was the sort of person who would find the request a big mac and fries utterly perplexing as seconds ticked by it felt like seasons and even years had passed and then suddenly without words he turned and looked helplessly at his colleague who was busy looking confused at a sub 300 carrera mounted on a work stand behind the counter the other assistant rotated slowly as if using some archaic machinery built by tiny medieval rodents before explaining that it wouldn t fit i wasn t convinced but that he would he would find one that did clearly this guy was the one who had been on the course to use the apparently nasa level halfords computer that would answer my ...
