I live in a world of bikes and all the talk is about the latest, the lightest, the fastest, the longest travel…….. the longest climb, the last race, the newest trail centre, the Etape….. But on a more mundane level, a utility bike and some commtuer miles are all you need to stay fit and healthy. Being fit and heathly lets you enjoy all those things just that bit more.

Tonight I needed to stock up on some food and there was no way that I was going to miss out on a bargain BOGOF even though it was a 9 pack of loo rolls. It is amazing what you can carry on a bike if you try and all the while that’s a few more miles I’ve clocked up. These miles make the miles on my other bikes all the sweeter.
