SE bikes have a long heritage in the BMX market with design classics such as the PK Ripper but they’re fairly new in the 700c fixed market, prototyping in 2007 and rolling out the range in 08. For 09 the beer-inspired range has three flavours: Draft, Lager and Premium. We suspect the £429 Lager will be the big seller in the main fixed markets, with its brash graphics and solid spec. For your cash you get a Cromoly frame and fork, Formula/Alex wheels with a flip-flop hub, FSA running gear and Tektro stoppers. All in weight is a claimed 21.5lb, so it’s light enough to chuck about town without fear of it falling apart – all the kit is nice and solid. Brick Lane Bikes sell the most (unsurprisingly) but they’re available in independent bike dealers throughout the UK.

@Surreyrider Most roads around the world are compacted dirt or gravel / aggregate, go back to asphalt.cc
But Police farces up and down the country are keen to crow about sending small armies to catch cyclists on ebikes doing 17mph which must be an illegally modified bike or riding antisocially, then stealing those bikes and "crushing" them (or selling them to fund the Policemans Ball)
Tradesman ridicules suggestion of carrying tools by bike by.... [checks notes] successfully carrying tools by bike. That'll learn them.
The first comment on the Facebore post linked above is basically "what about when it's raining? Or if your job is far away? Ha! Checkmate, cyclists!" Well, er, no. That's when you use a van. The hard of thinking seem to believe that once you've used a bike you can never, ever go back to using a motor vehicle, for any reason ever.
Is that for giving a different kind of signal to drivers?
@Steve K You're more charitable than I: although Ofcom does impose a requirement for balance on his type of show, it's not a news programme, he doesn't have to be absolutely strictly impartial. I suspect he's well aware of the fact that the majority of his audience likely lean towards the anti-cyclist end of the spectrum and doesn't want them turning off/over by being too much the other way.
@Surreyrider Just wondering, how do you feel about gravel roads and bikes designed for same?
@Surreyrider I guess he's meant to be the neutral host. If he'd been a guest on someone else's show, he probably would have.
I ride on roads to get to gravel, am I allowed to view Road.cc? 🤡
"The trouble with cyclists - and I'm generalising here - " to the extent that I really mean most, but not all drivers.
