How we test
At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don’t intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product’s function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.
What the road.cc scores meanGood scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

As a half-decent ex-swimmer who loves road cycling, as well as having previously worked on Triathlon Plus magazine, you’d have thought that Ash would be a fairly ace triathlete. His times suggest that he would be, but he prefers to keep things on two wheels (or in a rowing boat these days), and firmly believes that a) bikes are the modern global transport solution staring everyone in the face, and b) bikes should never be named.

I wouldn't mind watching live coverage of construction of the artificial hill. As long as it isn't on a TNT subscription channel. (And I hope the event organisers don't employ the pillock in the earlier article from Notts who flattened a cycle path embankment to create a flat area for caravans).
Hope: “here’s our latest frame that shows our amazing craftsmanship in an incredible eye catching finish” Hope: “no you can’t buy it apart from in Black - even at additional cost for the finish” 🤷♂️
Agree with that. But it doesn't look that packable from the pictures.
I've recently had a rotator cuff shoulder injury which has made signalling with my right arm difficult and painful (but cycling all day has been fine). This got me thinking I might need indicators (but bike mounted). Thankfully my shoulder is improving now, but I would have welcomed them if the only way to keep cycling safety. That, or move to Europe and have the left arm indicate my moves across traffic lanes.
As opposed to my Steel reynolds frame, where the top, down tubes were bent, and the lugs pushed into the top tube.
A minor dooring went just behind my saddle and hit the pannier rack. Bending it and the back wheel, also knocking me off causing grazes and ripped clothes. It was a young woman who was parking up outside work - a car sales garage. Her manager came out and was very good at calming the situation and offered to cover my losses. I was quite annoyed that the trousers I had bought only about a month before were then not in stock.
I use my Boost in day and night. In daytime, I have it on Day Bright flash and, at night, I have it on constant. If I needed more than the 12 or 2 hours respectively, I would choose a different light altogether. I can't really think of a use case, other than an emergency, for the lower power modes, and certainly don't need to use them regularly so the fact that they are more difficult to access is a plus. I would find cycling through all six modes much less convenient.
What! It's a game? Ugh, I've been cycling seriously :(
Clearly. That said, I have had the pre-migraine aura before (I don't get the actual migraine, or at least if there's something going wrong in my brain it doesn't generate any horrible symptoms). It's triggered by bright light - sunlight reflecting off something - and I definitely wouldn't drive whilst it's happening. I don't know whether an LED headlight would do it.
then Emily doesn’t really know what a migraine is I suspect she doesn't - the best guess from the information we have is that her migraines are headaches which may or may not be triggered by oncoming headlights. It's similar to people who claim they have 'flu when it's really some form of 'cold'- such false claims led to the frequent assertion by nutters during the active pandemic that Covid was 'just like 'flu', meaning nothing at all to worry about. I think we're now at the stage where 'flu is presently a greater public health hazard than Covid.
