I bought a Cannondale Synapse 105 (aluminium) just over a year ago as my first road bike. Can't fault it. A comfortable ride and takes mudguards for the winter. The only thing I've upgraded from the original spec so far is the tyres. There are many bike shops around but I'd certainly recommend On Yo...

I find myself in the same boat as you when you started this thread, Graham: short on time, not particularly enamoured with the idea of dancing with motorists in the dark, icy nights, but want to maintain what bit of fitness I have and hopefully ride more and improve next year.

When I first bought clipless pedals I went to Rowheath Playing Fields and rode up and down on the grass practising clipping and unclipping. I find my left foot is easier, and at the bottom of the stroke. This was a couple of years ago, and I almost had a topple the other day when a car indicated lef...

I bought the Mark Cavendish autobiography on Kindle last week. It's incredible dull, written in a distinctly dreary monotone voice. But I suppose that's how he speaks, right? And within pages the term "light year" was used as a measure of time. I can forgive MC for that, but someone down the chain –...

I had two proper falls as a result of SPDs, and toppled against handy objects such as cars, etc, a couple of times. I went down to Rowheath playing fields to practice when I first got them.
