road.cc Recommends episode 6 is live! Check out our monthly YouTube show
Episode 6 of our road.cc Recommends YouTube show is live and ready for you to enjoy while having a coffee and a well-earned biscuit.
road.cc Recommends is the best of our reviews section, the crème de la crème that received the highest marks and are worthy of further acclaim to explain why they stand out.
There is plenty to get stuck into this month as it was a busy time for our reviewers. They were impressed with a whopping 15 products which was a lot to squeeze into what is already a packed show. But that just gives you more to have a look at.
As per usual, there was also the regular features of our cafe and route picks to go to. The cafe this month is Hassop in Derbyshire where you can hire bikes, have a quick coffee or sit down for a lovely looking burger.
This month's route is a 50km gravel loop of which a whopping 349m is on roads. If you're looking to get away from the traffic, then this is a brilliant one to try.
After Becca has finished talking about cooking meth, (ah no, that's cooking with meths!) we get onto our buying advice section in which we talk about getting your first gravel bike.
Making the grade this month is:
Apidura Backcountry Full Frame Pack
Bear Bones Ultralight 22g Meths Stove

Pactimo Men's Summit Aero SS Jersey

Do you any of the products on the list? Let us know if you agree with our reviewers in the comments!
I'm quite happy for people driving high pollution cars to high pollution areas to be penalised, particularly where there are good alternatives....
There are places, though, where a bell is required equipment and lacking one can be a pretext for harassment by the police. NYC comes to mind....
One single loop of tubular carbon fibre. Just because there were counterfeit Ringle cages doesn't justify or excuse Topeak's action. It's theft,...
The Met police have an all time record number of officers. Predictably they are still nowhere to be seen and show a complete disinterest in low...
I discovered the first bit of cycling infra I've ever liked today....
Nor have I, I hasten to add! As the accused he could've got legal aid if his income was low enough, I think the bar is actually quite generous,...
Not helped by the fact they seem to have installed them in the wrong orientation.
And Golden Shoehorn of the Week goes to... Oh and Lineker has won his appeal against HMRC. Do try to keep up eh? 👍
Headlights are not that effective in picking out pedestrians, as the white lights on the poles are so blinding....
Definitely not me - I'm a short arse 5 foot 7.
