I'd say that 44x10 is a pretty big gear! Pair a 46 or 48t cassette with a reasonably sized chainring and it will hopefully get you up most things....

I thought that was Brompton's thing - they don't get stolen because you park them under your desk.

i got them to post a few of my videos, theyre desperate for anything news worthy. They love to hate cyclists. The best bit was the comments when i did my [cyclist overtakes 1300 cars videos]. Sent them all mad, the fact i was able to cycle past loads of cars all trying to park within a mile of eachother. They did one of my ones where i showed shitty cycle lanes too. Nothing has changed in bournemouth. Go check out wallisdown roads new shared path. Its funny as hell. It just stops before aldi and no dropped kerb into the road, no direction given when you reach uni either.
First two words of the article, "The boy."
What's your point?

Actually called this one a schoolboy on a bike. We aren't that big a town and 2 boys hurt by cars reported in a day
