  1. A very enjoyable Bosch motor debut from Tenways. One of those bikes that was very easy to reach for and replace car trips. Mark was a big fan of the elegant frame design flowing into the pannier rack too.

    A great further step into the mid-tier e-bike world for the Dutch brand with a bike that retails for £2,999, but is currently available for £2,799.

  5. So, yesterday I had the pleasure (?) of using the Southern Rail service on the Three Bridges to London Victoria line. I had my full sized bike with me. On previous occasions, the bike carriage was indicated by a bicycle logo near the door, next to a wheelchair logo. On yesterday's train, the bicycle logo had been removed.

    Anyway, I got on the train and went to tie up my bike only to find that there were no straps. Everything else was the same as it used to be. So I had to stand next to my bike so it wouldn't get flung around on some of the curves (or track changes).

    I asked the conductor and was told that they removed the straps due to a "government directive". He didn't look like he was in the mood to be questioned by me, just a passenger (oops, sorry: a customer) so I didn't probe further. If anybody knows what government directive this might be, please let me know (before I write to my MP).

    I am concerned that this is the first step towards not allowing full sized bikes at all on their services.

    PS - Thameslink, on the other hand, provide an excellent service including carrying bikes and, luckily, this is the service I use more often.

  9. Anybody here have any experience on taking a bicycle (full size) on the Guildford-Gatwick route (via Redhill) with Great Western Railway?

  13. A nice, if very windy, ride at lunchtime today - one of those rare rides where everyone was patient and behaved themselves, coupled with a delightful spring day. That should've made it entirely stress free - but my goodness those potholes are getting extremely tiresome. #UKCycling #Cycling

  17. Cycled the Downs Link from Christ's Hospital to Brighton via Shoreham-by-sea. A large segment of the route goes alongside the River Adur. We were lucky with the weather for once! Lovely day and a great ride.

  21. Yesterday was not quite as nice a day as the day before but I wanted to take on a longer cycle ride than usual. Headed out to Christ's Hospital by train to then start cycling down the Downs Link to Shoreham by Sea and then along the coast to Brighton, where I got the train back.

    Spitting with rain the whole time with some pretty bad headwinds but a lovey ride nonetheless. The scenery along the Downs Link is beautiful. Highly recommended.
