Endura Venturi eVENT 3/4 Shorts

Baggy Brilliance

Advantages: Comfort, Durability, Leaves your bits hidden from show, Cycling fit
Disadvantages: Weak belt, Baggy-ish so can catch on saddle

where the Endura Humvee 3/4 trousers/shorts come into play. So they may have a stupid name, but they manage to keep my knees warm while riding, and I've ever found the need to indulge in a specific winter cycling trouser with these in the wardrobe. Coming in either black or khaki there's a choice for any taste (well, okay, maybe just a black or khaki taste) and there are pockets galore for storing 'stuff'. Because they're cut specifically for cycling all of these pockets are in places that mean if you were carrying, say, a bunch of keys they wouldn't be digging in, or sitting somewhere that tightens too much with the cycling action. They seem pretty well made as well. I wear them every single day for commuting, as well as for mountain biking, and even for a couple of 100 mile rides. Comfort has never been an issue, and nothing has ever ...

Review of Endura Hummvee 3/4 Baggy inc Liner

You won't get better than these just ride and see

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 Endura MT500 short. 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 by ...

Review of Endura MT500 Lycra Shorts

The Secret Diary of Adrain Mole aged 13 3/4

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: not a long book - would have loved it to have been longer

I had read Adrian Mole when I was younger but couldnt really remember it so I decided to give it another go. especially when I realised there are other books in the series. I am so glad I did as there are things in the book that I dont think I would have "got" as a child. He has got to be one of the funniest characters I have ever read about in a a fiction book. He is innocent and wise, observant and obsessed with himself, dumb and a genius. Adrian lets the reader peep into his world through his diary. Aged 13 3/4 he strongly feels he is a 'misunderstood intellectual' and spends most of his time reading. He spends some of his time taking care of a stubborn old man called Bert Baxter & his dog Sabre. He also complains of being malnourished and blames his parents for all his pimples. It upsets him when his mother leaves him ...
