Bought a gravel bike for commuting and my workhorse, I love it. It's been on mountain bike trails, used for bike packing and it's pretty good on the road

@sclarke3@talktalk.net I've been cycling for a similar amount of time and I've never *needed* a storage box in the frame either. I've also never *needed* clipless pedals, indexed gears, head units, et cetera et cetera, but as they've come along I've evaluated whether they would make my cycling easier or more pleasurable and added them or not according to what I thought of them. Personally I rather like the idea of frame storage where I could put the things that always stay with the bike like spare tubes and essential but rarely used tools like chain breakers. I wonder if back in the day when Mr Dunlop invented his first pneumatic tyre people were saying "I've been riding on wooden rims for years and I've never needed an air-filled tyre!"?

@sclarke3@talktalk.net My mate has been riding for four years and has never needed a saddle bag for his spares... it's all relative.

I've been cycling for over 45 years and I've never needed a storage box in the frame! It's all marketing crap!

White mountain bike shoes? Really? I suppose they are pretty spiffy if you are just riding your £10,000 MTB round the corner to sit outside your local gastropub in Chelsea but otherwise...

E-road bikes are unavoidable for 70+ mamils who need to negotiate steep hills on their return from a 3 hr cycling trip. Especially if they tore a meniscus or two. Other users find them simply glorious for the added freedom they offer. None of these target groups pretend to want to compete. TQ motors are an ideal choice for e-road bikes: not too powerful, light, discreet.

@NotNigel This statement has definitely been chosen to wind up a certain, Lancashire based cyclist Doesn't wind me up, as it's clearly fiction from either a contributor, or from road.cc staff having a laugh. It's easy to prove a positive- the successful Lancashire (or anywhere else, I'm always asking but they never reply} submitter sends the link to the online offence video and the letter from the police stating the penalty that's more than the joke letter or course, or the result of the court case. I'm still waiting. Conversely, its very difficult to prove the negative that the police have done sod all. But, they haven't

So the revenue from Camelback
So the revenue from Camelback allegedly doesn’t go straight to the NRA, but it does mean that Vista can (at least in theory) donate every penny of revenue from firearms sales to them, and they will still have a good bottom line due to their other siloed departments. I’m not boycotting anyone, but I’ll certainly give preference to a company with no links to the organisation who thinks playing with guns is more important than the safety of school kids if there’s a choice.
