Getting the rat ready for a ride

Tandems, more fun than a pair of monkeys riding their own bikes

Bike Show

Every year around this time we head down towards Silverstone to meet up with some bike trade people and see what they have coming up, or indeed stuff that we've missed in their catalogues.

Bobbin Bikes have some new models coming up in the spring.

Bobbin Noodle £375

New matt colours for the Birdie

Girl Scout and new colour Daytripper

3 speed Shopper - mini cargo bike!

Brooks were there of course...

 Interesting Rohloff talk - four ways to shift but only one approved by Rohloff - new grips on shifters coming through too.

Surly Bikes, Old bikes, New bikes.

 From the top -

Troll, Ogre, Karate Monkey and the new Instigator - damn we're excited about that...

 

Check out the 26 x 2.75 tyre

 

Proto twenty six inch fat rim from Halo.

 

Salsa Vaya, Colossol and Warbird - we got all your gravel and road covered.

Ogre update

 A flying visit between returning from Nepal and jetting off for 8 months in South America. Service and add a new luggage option. Salsa Minimalist racks are for carrying up to 5k of extra stuff on the front or rear.

 They have a cupped deck and come with straps for securing your marmot with.

Jones on't moors

We took Tim for a ride on the Jones this morning. Looked super shiney till he got his mitts on it :o)

Set up single speed with a fat front courtesy of Surly Bikes it can be a bit challenging on the rolling bits of the South Pennine moors.

He's rocking a great beard at the moment so just needs the bike to complete the look!

Sylwia came along on her Mukluk too and provided entertainment to herself and others...

(our camera skills are too slow to capture evidence of either of these two with their bikes on top of them in the mud. So it never happened...)

Olive got a new coat

Didn't seem to slow her down much though....

Ruffwear Cloudchaser softshell for those wet days in the hills, or in this case on the beach.
