Received my new set of panniers today. 1st task is to glue my PassPixi sign to one, followed by the South African flag embroidered badges 😊
The brand name is West Biking (a Chinese company) and the panniers appear to be of good quality, with welded seams, but time will tell.
After a few months of use I'll do a full review on https://www.WillCycle.com

Fed up with the same cycle routes and want to design your own, but unsure how to go about it?
This post will help a lot, and even has a gorgeous route through the Yorkshire Dales you can use.

Here's my review of the Zefal T3 top tube bag. I've extensively road-tested this when I cycled the bottom 1/2 of the Wild Atlantic Way

Big changes in store for https://www.WillCycle.com: already, all cycling caps are marked down, and when sold out, I'll stop selling caps. All T-shirts are reduced too, and I'm probably going to stop selling T-shirts from the end of August.
Physical product sales aren't doing well & have never done well.
Also, the webshop component I use, WooCommerce, slows the site down. Stopping sales of physical products means I'd be able to remove WooCommerce from the site.

Rush hour on my commute. It's a hard old life, I tell you!

Look at your life as it is right now. You’re probably working most days. Weekends might be taken up with chores, and family responsibilities. That means you end up feeling as if though you never get a break!
Go on a *gentle* adventure!

Head torches are often overlooked, yet surprisingly essential bits of kit. This is a review of the Nebo Mycro, which I recently(ish) bought.

Tomorrow's #WillCycle post will show you how the CIA laid the foundations for the anti-cycling strategies being followed by so many councils, and countries.

In 2 weeks' time, I'm cycling the North Devon coast. I've cycled many parts of Devon, but the only times that included anywhere in North Devon was the times I cycled Devon C2C.
I'm really looking forward to the ride! Camping on the Friday & Saturday night, as there are train strikes on the Saturday, meaning I have to travel up on the Friday instead.
