Gear Reviews

My mates were on a mission. They wanted to conquer Devon's hills without breaking a sweat (or their bank accounts). Enter the U2 City Commuter, a budget-friendly e-bike that packs a surprising punch.

Let's face it, there's a certain smug satisfaction that comes with powering up a steep climb and staying firmly in the saddle while your mates grind away on foot. That was the feeling I craved, and what sparked my recent upgrade to my beloved Sonder AL Camino.

I just snagged a pair of VALLON's brand new Watchtowers, and let me tell you, these shades are more than just eye protection.

Mud on the trails, giant puddles everywhere... Winter is coming and so the season of bike upgrades begins. Having had quite a few punctures recently, I thought it's about time to swap my old Goodyears with something which will provide more traction, puncture protection, and speed.

The time has come to say goodbye to my dear Pinnacle Arkose and replace it with something a little bit more serious and built for more serious gravel action. Introducing the Sonder Camino by Alpkit.

Choosing the right tyre for adventure cycling isn't easy. Right after purchasing a new bike we don't think much about what tyres are fitted on our wheels until we hit the road and test them in the terrain we cycle most often.

Bikepacking is a simple game of compromises. The more you put in your bags the more you have to carry. Although I'm not a fan of extreme equipment weighting race, this tiny gas stove is something you have to check out if you like to cook a decent meal on your cycling adventures.
