#NewWheelsDay

Today's weapon of choice for 80 miles of Welsh windy gravel. This bike never fails to bring a smile to my face. • @shandcycles #stooshie

#projectraleighsport is coming on nicely. Can't believe how well this has come up with a rub down with some fine wire wool.

The summits of Corn Du, Pen-y-fan, Cribyn and Fan-y-big. Brutal wind up there today, -2 degrees Celsius and wind strong enough to blow you over. Thankfully I had a nice soft landing... Simply too windy to ride from where I took this, so aborted my planned

First snow ride of the winter season today under superb blue skies 😎 (bit cold in the wind, mind you...) • #fatbike #fatbiking #snowbike #snowbiking #outsideisfree #breconbeaconsnationalpark #breconbeacons #mountainbiking #ridefarridefree #wild

Imagine the consternation in the cycling industry when they changed the front axle standard from 3.5" to 100mm 😋

I know it's a bit of a cliché to say they don't make things like they used to, but.... ...these jockey wheels off a 1940's Cyclo Benelux rear mech are amazing; all steel construction with cup/cone bearings. Rebuild with fresh grease, they'll be good as ne

This is my Dad's #Raleigh Sport. He got in in 1949 when he was a boy and used it to tour all over the country. Somewhat neglected of late, but still all original parts, I'm about to embark on its restoration so that, at the age of 77, he can relive being

A brief break in the clouds and a pause in the rain; a ride with the @mertenssara and @harrehart from @transactief in Belgium. A full on Welsh experience today; wind, rains, rocks, roots, singletrack and a lot of water! Great riding with both of you! •

10/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The inner part of the Cairngorm Loop is but a small part of a longer 300 km self-sufficient mountain bike route. At just over 100km for the part I rode, I discovered it'

9/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The sun had gradually slipped below the range of hills to the south-west, casting the majority of Glenfeshie fully into shade. But on my descent down the glen, I could see

8/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • Descending lower into Glenfeshie the birch and rowan trees gradually gave way to more magnificent Scots pine. The trails remained technical, testing my commitment more tha

7/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • In comparison to the gentle nature of the Geldie, the upper part of Glenfeshie was eager and fast-paced. Forging a steep sided gulley at the top, it tumbles down in energe

6/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The gravel track from the Linn of Dee continued up Geldie Burn before once more becoming a tricky gradual ascent of narrow peaty singletrack, punctuated with granite rocks

5/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The run out from the bottom of Glen Derry was smooth gravel trails to the Linn of Dee. The broad Glen opened out and the early afternoon sun finally broke through the cloud

4/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The descent of the upper part of Glen Derry was almost as unrelenting as the climb out from the Fords of Avon. Lower down, though, it became a sinuous line of fine granite

3/10: A series of ten photos from the inner part of the Cairngorm Loop, Scotland • The climb back out from the Fords of Avon, past Lochan Dubh was a true test of bike handling skills. An intricate landscape of granite rocks and peat bogs required precise
