As those of you who have been following his progress will know, (Team Orb’s) Rob Gardiner is currently attempting to break the record for the most countries cycled through in 7 days. I caught up with him just after dinner, as he was settling into a Serbian mountain pass for his pudding. Press play on […]

Here’s a preview of Liam’s review of The Orb in Not in the Peloton. If you want to get to the part where he concludes it’s ugly (but ultimately good) check out the full article at: https://www.notinthepeloton.com/theorb-review Continued at https://www.notinthepeloton.com/theorb-review 

The Orb hit the press in the London Evening Standard after correspondent Katie Strick road-tested it on the dark and wet roads of London. Some highlights for you below, but you can check out the full article at: https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/winter-cycling-kit-light-a3984211.html 

As the festive period subsides and the threat of gout with it, it’s time to reflect, eat vegetables, and think about organising your life for the New Year.

Of three journalists’ “expert opinions”, two bet on a podium topped by Nairo Quintana and followed by Roman Bardet. Tom Dumoulin wasn’t mentioned at all (how?!), and […]

With the Transcontinental having just finished, and the inaugural Silk Road Mountain Race just begun, bikepacking has never been sexier than it is at the moment. So in order to restore some balance to the force, I had planned to treat you all to a series of really geeky gear reviews of my bikepacking kit. […]

As you probably saw, Wales won at cycling last weekend. Geraint Thomas, one of Team Sky’s GC riders, finished first in the Tour de France to universal acclaim. Only it wasn’t universal.
