It's such a great feeling when your new bike is finally delivered, you have it minted and you can enjoy your first ride. The process from ordering to delivery as JobRad via Ford worked great

Good for you, bad for the environment. And by the way, when I had battery-powered lights they tended to die on me when I needed them most. With modern generators in the wheel hub there is always light and it's not the least bit complicated, you don't even have to switch them off or on, just let them shine whenever you ride. It doesn't get any easier and cleaner. Nothing to bin, no chemical battery waste, nothing to remember to switch off when ariving, etc....

I've always loved the freedom I feel on a bike, ever since I was young and realised I could simply just ride wherever I needed to go. As an adult, I was particularly inspired after seeing how norma... read more

Our little one hasn't been in the trailer for 23 or 24 years but I *still* use it. It's the ultimate form of multitasking: shopping, exercising, getting outdoors, reducing carbon footprint, all at the same time. And then when I get on my road bike I feel like Vingegaard for a few minutes without hauling that trailer behind me. :-)
