Alfine Commuter

I'm looking at getting a bike to commute the 15 miles to work on. Like the idea of the low maintenance of an alfine setup.

anyone had experience of alfine 8 or 11? what's it like with mildly hilly rides?

Buxom Tourers and other fancies

Being as there’s so much to see and do at Europe’s biggest cycle exhibition, it’s equally difficult to pinpoint areas of specific fascination but for me it was fully equipped big European tourers with buxom tyres (and in many cases dropped bars). Naturally, children’s cycling apparel came a close second (seeing as my son has just learned to ride his solo competently) alongside lighting and all things pattern/ emanating from Taiwan.
