More life by bike.
Ordinary journeys count. We cover commuting, choosing a bicycle, carrying your things and planning trips in the UK and overseas. Our aim is to make the next ride feel achievable, with room for a stop and no pressure to buy expensive equipment.
What we publish
Practical guides explain the subject before the instructions. Buying guides compare products for particular needs, including limitations and compatibility. News explains what happened, when and where, and why it matters to riders. Opinion and video recommendations are labelled as commentary.
The writing behind the site
Alex Rowan is our cycling writer, product tester and commentator, with 20 years of cycling experience and a background in professional cycle touring and work with cycling brands and retailers. Articles are developed with AI assistance and research into official guidance, manufacturer documentation and attributable statements. We do not present this work as personal product testing or first-hand reporting.
Advice you can assess
Our buying guides and star ratings are editorial assessments of published information. They are not laboratory results, customer averages or proof that a product will fit your bicycle. Dates, exact model versions and known gaps matter. Confirm the current specification and use the equipment’s own fitting instructions.
