Baskets that attach to the front of a bicycle are handy for putting loose items in and are useful for short rides on smooth surfaces. They are also harder to find and I had to take a trip to BicycleWA headquarters to locate some.
Instead of a handlebar bag, you could elect to use a front mounted basket for those short rides. You could also put your small pet dog into one of these.
Having just recently purchased a disk brake mountain bike, I needed a decent rack for the rear to hang my panniers on. None of the other racks that I have laying around would fit, so I needed a disk brake compatible pannier rack.
After two days of riding straight into head winds once, I decided most of the things in the handle bar bag could go elsewhere on the bike, so I went in search of a smaller handle bar bag to hold my valuables and other frequently needed things. I was able to get an Ortlieb handle bar bag which is a lot smaller than most standard handlebar bags.
I have had the Topeak Road Morph pump for several years now and apart from the pressure gauge reading incorrectly when it’s not plugged into anything, I have not had any problems with it.
This is a sneak preview review of the Topeak MTX rack top bag. It has some excellent features that make it handy for commuters. It also has a decent locking mechanism to lock it to the top of the rack.
Guess who got a new set of handlebars? After being sick of riding on a bike with flat bars and bar ends, I needed somewhere else to put my hands. I looked at drop bars (racing style, upside down bull horns) but it would mean changing my brake and gear levers to fit them.
In this article we are going to be looking at the Michelin Rack bag. To start with, the bag arrived in good condition and I even saw an assembly note on top on how to put it onto the bike rack.
This is a review of the BOB Ibex trailer which is much the same as the BOB Yak trailer which we have reviewed. The major difference with the Ibex is that it has a rear spring. It also sits higher than the Yak, and has two extra water cage mountings, giving a total of four cage mountings. It is designed for off road riding.
I have just been out cycling with a BOB YAK Trailer attached to the rear of the bike and have been putting it through it’s paces.
