Slinging a bicycle lock across the shoulder isn't a new idea; couriers have been doing it for years. However, Hiplok refined the concept by covering the chain with a sheath that keeps clothes muck-free and is adjustable so it can be worn like a belt. The logic behind carrying a bike lock in this way makes sense; there's no need to take a...

Specialist outdoor clothing performance has rocketed over recent years, but so have prices. Just as well then that a desire for thrift is thriving. Windproof jackets, 'office-friendly' fitted cycling shorts, hiking boots - a quick scan of our local charity shops this turned up a selection of each - all at bargain prices. And while it's...

Rain needn't stop play where cycling's involved, but looking at the line-up in UK bike shops, you'd be forgiven for thinking mudguards are relics of a bygone era. Perhaps we're a nation of road muck masochists. Or purists...

Clock change or no clock change, you need never be caught without lights thanks to the Knog Blinder Twinpack.

It's a shame because the latest generation of e-bikes makes towing a trailer even easier. Whether your...

When drivers question the case for 20mph limits, they risk overlooking the laws of physics. After all, it's indisputable that the faster and heavier a vehicle, the more likely it is to cause injury or death in the event of a crash.
