Checkout: ASSOS women’s Bonka jacket

First Impressions of the Wattbike ATOM
A couple of weeks prior Wattbike sent over the new Atom for me to try and I received a hell of a lot of questions about it, so I thought I’d put pen to paper (so to speak) and let […]
Review: 2XU Compression Tights

I’ve been racing on a pair of Specialized S-Works Turbo Tyres for several months and now that I’ve tested them in all weather conditions, I thought it high time I get my review up on here. The foldable clincher tyres […]
Review: Blackroll sports foam rollers
I first got switched on to foam rolling a couple of years ago when I began working with a coach. He was insistent that I stretch thoroughly after every session and suggested the foam roller as a good way of […]
Review: Specialized Power Pro Saddle
Saddles come in so many shapes and sizes yet finding ‘the one’ can be a lengthy (and expensive) business. Over the years, I reckon I’ve tried somewhere in the region of twenty-five different seats on my various bicycles and in […]

Review: Herbalife Protein Powders and Bars
As I’ve mentioned before in numerous posts, I get through a fair amount of sports nutrition products, mainly because I train hard and they’re convenient to take on rides. It’s also because they last a long time, so I can have […]
Review: Smith Optics Pivlock Arena Cycling Sunglasses
For me, sunglasses when cycling are a necessity. My eyes tend to stream uncontrollably, so much so that I can barely see without eye protection, so I don’t just wear them for fashion, but for safety. Additionally, bright sunshine (sometimes […]
Review: Giro Women’s Empire ACC cycling shoe
I’m not normally one to adhere to stereotypes, but I’m a woman who just loves shoes! But not just any old shoes; I couldn’t care less about tottering about in an agonising pair of Jimmy Choo stilettoes. No, what I […]
Review: American Classic Sprint 350 wheels
I’ve been testing out the American Classic Sprint 350 wheelset for about 8 months, so now that I’ve amassed some serious mileage on them I figured it was time to get my review written up. I’d originally planned to use them […]

Review: Wyldsson’s Tubes & Bake At Home Bars
Any keen cyclist will tell you that food plays a big part in what they do. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve started meticulously fantasising about incredible meals as I near the end of a ride, my energy stores […]
Review: UGOE 6000 lumen mountain bike lights
For me, by far the most irritating thing about winter is the short days… well, that and having to wash your bike the whole time. The weather actually doesn’t bother me too much; I’m used to it, I’ve plenty of […]
Review: Women’s Levi’s Commuter Jeans
The Levi’s Commuter line has been around for a while now – I remember when the collection was first stocked at the now defunct Tokyo Fixed store in Soho, sometime around 2011 at a guess. At the time, I couldn’t quite […]
Review: Saris Gran Fondo bike rack
As I’ve mentioned before in this blog, when it comes to researching bicycle related products I’m nothing short of thorough and being one of those irritating people who can’t make up their mind without considering absolutely every possibility as though […]
Review: Sweaty Betty Zoom Tri Top and Shorts
UK sports and fitness outfitters Sweaty Betty produce really rather lovely workout clothing (despite the somewhat unfortunate name) and seeing as I’m far more interested in dressing up for activities than I am for going out, I’ve long been up […]
