Another vote for playing with
Another vote for playing with the angle. My weight yo-yos and, when I’m at the heavier end of the scale, I can get a bit numb. I find tilting the nose down a little makes a bit more space for the soft bits.
I had similar recently
I had similar recently cycling on a narrow road. The driver behind tried to go round three sides of a small park to get ahead of me while I cycled along the one remaining side. I confess I actually had to slow down to ensure we intersected at just the right moment.
I use a GPS head unit on rides, currently a Garmin Edge 1040 Solar (replacing over time previously 1030 Plus, 1030, 820, 520, Wahoo RFLKT).Wow. I’m still nursing along a Garmin 800, though I am thinking it’s time for an update.
I don’t indicate when moving between secondary and primary, it’s not necessary – that movement is within the envelope of road space a cyclist should be given anyway.Agree it’s within the envelope a cyclist should be given, but it doesn’t always work like that. I can think of a particular pinch point where I usually signal to make abundantly clear that I am taking primary: https://goo.gl/maps/jQiiUkdxx96ZMdCX9
Seconded. I have a Fairlight
Seconded. I have a Fairlight Faran on 38s and a Mason Definition on 28s. Subjectively the Mason feels much faster, but Strava says there’s about 1km/h in it.
Edited to add: I am wondering about splitting the difference and trying a Strael
Why are they doing it? ESG
Why are they doing it? ESG risk.
Maybe a better analogy is it’s like Greggs offering a vegan sausage roll.
The only way I can make it
The only way I can make it make any sort of sense:
- Each product was originally £15.98
- They were then discounted by different amounts, to £8.33 and £8.16
- Now they have both been discounted to £7.99
Sorry, last one, I promise.
Sorry, last one, I promise. Back on the topic of cargo bikes, from Rad Wagon vs Tern GSD, 7 key differences:
- Tern GSD is a folding bike (ok, I’ll let them have that on a technicality) that’s perfect for carrying around on public transport
- Radwagon is a recumbent
- Tern GSD does not have a rack or fenders. But also, it has a strong rack and fenders.
- Tern GSD does not have a throttle. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a gas pedal on your vehicle.
I really don’t understand it
I really don’t understand it – there’s not even any advertising on the site to monetise this bilge. I am now slightly obsessed with their comedy bike comparisons.
You could say it’s a Tern HSD – a bit cheaper and plausible deniability.Actually, not sure this will fly. In my researches, I found this helpful (=spectacularly unhelpful) article which made me realise how different the GSD and HSD actually are: https://www.stringbike.com/tern-gsd-vs-hsd/. Some of my favourites:
- GSD has a lower price tag than HSD. But the GSD is also more expensive (be careful which bit of the article you show)
- GSD is aluminium, HSD is carbon.
-
GSD has 26″ wheels, HSD has 28″ (or possibly the reverse, depending on which bit of the article you read)
-
GSD has disc brakes, HSD has V-brakes
-
GSD is Shimano 10 speed; HSD is SRAM 11 speed
-
GSD has a derailleur, shifter, crankset and cassette because it uses a road bike groupset. The HSD does too, but because it uses a mountain bike groupset, it also has a bottom bracket and chainring.
-
HSD is a lightweight bike (despite the weight penalty of having a bottom bracket and chainring) and is ideal for racing and long-distance riding. However, the GSD is a bit lighter.
- HSD are some of the fastest bikes on the market, and have set new speed records

Excellent! Look forward to
Excellent! Look forward to hearing your views…
Yeah, I figured it was more
Yeah, I figured it was more about wanting to be independent. I should crack on then if I might only have 3 years of use left!
When do kids tend to outgrow
When do kids tend to outgrow the different types of bike? I’ve read that box bikes have less longevity for kiddy carrying, but also spoke to a Tern owner this morning who said their 7 year old was outgrowing it (despite it being rated, weight wise, for an adult) which was a bit concerning. I have one 4 year old.
Yes, that’s simpler. I was
Yes, that’s simpler. I was thinking of times when I want to restrict it to the forum – e.g. if I am looking for a general topic like ‘mudguards’ and want to filter out the reviews on the main site.
