Today I felt a bit of a desire for a new style of riding; that is I couldn't get on the bike and ride flat roads for yet another hour (currently doing Strava's Oktoberfest). I also didn't want to…Continue

"Greenhill is a great combo of gradient and length, but the Norton climb and over to Little Italy is pretty scenic"
"For sure, I like the implications. Perhaps for data purposes on Ride to Work day or something the ask could be to record your ride and upload it? or maybe link with Bikemap or Ride With GPS to just draw a map of their route"
"This would be great to see what roads are most used by commuters, and then lobby government to increase cycling infrastructure on those roads!"

Don (Who's lost?) Nairn replied to Daniel Lynch's discussion Fitting knobbly tyres onto a roadie?"depending on how scruffy you are happy to ride the bike workshop has a selection of used bikes at reasonable prices and all the proceeds go towards getting people on bikes."
Gus K replied to Daniel Lynch's discussion Fitting knobbly tyres onto a roadie?"Yep, Schwalbe 30mm CX tyres are good but not the pro ones with the bigger knobbles.

About eight weeks ago I came off of my bike quite seriously. I'm keen to get it down and share some learnings.
I was out with two mates aiming for our longest ride to date -120km- and we had just crested Norton's (where I had gotten a personal best!) and were cruising down the long hill after Ashton on Lobethal Road.
