Advantages: Will enhance riding confort and performance by untold amounts Disadvantages: Quite expensive at c.£50
...Being an increasingly keen participant in cross country mountain biking, I decided to kit myself out with the necessary clothing to ease the pain of those long rides. Not being one who is easily conned by clever marketing, and of course being a lifelong sceptic, it was out of character for me to follow recommendations to buy the EnduraMT500short. These may initially seem expensive at around £50, but believe me, for the money you will not be able to find any better. Long climbs become suddenly more comfortable, and you don't get the chafe around the seams as you would with cheaper shorts.
The kevlar seams are fully flatlocked, giving the short superb flexibility, and removes the embarrassing worry of the short giving way when the going gets a bit rough (see gorse grass and bramble attacks!). Further durability is provided...

Advantages: Finish; Ride quality; Durability Disadvantages: Price has gone up; Open chainstays
...It was about a year and a half ago that I first started pondering getting a fixed wheel bike. It will sound like insanity to many (and indeed it did to anyone I spoke to) but bikes with no gears, and not even a freewheel, have been rising in popularity in recent years, and I'd been hearing more and more about them.
The theory is simple, they make you fitter, improve your pedalling technique, and without any derailleurs and so on to get clogged up there is less to go wrong on a daily commuter. This really ticked all the boxes for me, but without being sure I'd get on with fixed wheel I didn't want to shell out for a new bike - and then I got a call from my girlfriend's father who, knowing how obsessed I am with bikes, had pulled an old road bike out of a skip for me.
To cut a very long story short I converted the bike to fixed...

Advantages: tones the bum&thigh area, fits easily under jeans Disadvantages: small pads repeatedly curl and stick together
...Did you know there are several groups of muscles in your bum and thigh area that all contribute towards the way your legs are shaped and how you walk? Well no neither did I until I started using the Slendertone Bum and Thigh (BT) shorts. The day after using these shorts I could certainly feel where these muscles were located! I've only had these shorts a few days, but I bought these shorts as an accompaniment to the Flex Max belt, and as promised in my FM review, here are my first impressions of the BT shorts.
For those who aren't aware of Slendertone or the EMS craze, then I will briefly bring you up to speed. EMS is Electric Muscle Stimulation and Slendertone provide a range of body toning garments that use EMS. EMS basically stimulates your muscles to contract and relax as they would during exercise, however, you don't have to put...

Let me just say that Marilyn Monroe had the right idea. Minimal shadow, maximum eyeliner and lashes. Move over, Britney, with your caked on, smoky, over-used shadows. We can emphasize our eyes without all the crap. Clinique has come to our rescue.... more
