Midge(s) you?re annoying?
In light of the the hullabaloo about doping past and present I’ve found a new performance enhancing stimulant that must be as old as the hills. And legal. Its long latin name is Cuculiodes impunctatus, but most people know it as the very small but incredibly annoying biting midge.Each one is only a couple of [...]

Choosing a bike saddle for comfort
By: Zoey Lancaster
Choosing a bike saddle for comfort�is fun and can be used for stress relief. The last thing a cyclist needs is an uncomfortable saddle, as this will make riding an unbearable experience. Some people think that saddle discomfort has to be tolerated, but a proper bike seat is all you need to enjoy the freedom, convenience and pleasures of bike riding. The shape of a saddle is important in accommodating your anatomy. Women?s bicycle saddles are wider than men?s due to their wider sit bones. For a saddle that fits you perfectly, you need to consider your build, age, gender, weight, type of biking and riding time. A good bicycle saddle should be able to support your body weight while you pedal, balance and steer. When you hit a bump or cycle over uneven surfaces, the saddle must absorb the shock without transferring it to you. This way, you will not feel any impact.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Cyclingchatcouk/~3/FErQcszh-2k/

There was me thinking Britain was completely converted to cycling – all ready to [...]
