Fizik fi'z:ik Arione K1 Features: Revolutionary technology that has produced the lightest blend of strength and comfort available. The K:1 is a combination of hard carbon fibres and soft Technogel bonded together and then encased in an ultra-thin but highly resistant coating by a patented process. This unique process fuses three distinct elements into one. Mobius braided carbon rail has a circular construction with no beginning or end. The rail has a core of unidirectional fibres inside a 3-D woven sheath of fibres for 50% higher strength than standard carbon rails 265x138mm 149g
Advantages: Warm, waterproof, easy to use. Disadvantages: None to me.
...The British weather has a lot to answer to. One minute it is like the middle of summer and the ground is rock hard and we really need rain. The next minute, it is like the middle of winter again. The rain has come and events have been cancelled for being too wet! I did put my rugs away, but they are out again now, partly due to the fact that after work on Thursday, my horse out without a rug, was too wet to ride. I haven`t gone back to the rug that I am reviewing though as it really is a winter rug, but my thoroghbred has a medium one on. I have so many rugs I don`t know what to do with them (almost, I have more than one horse though), but the Weatherbeeta Arion Combo is a good one.
Firstly, why use a rug?

...kph according to my speedo (cat-eye wireless recommended).
I do not use this bike to commute in Oxford, as it would disappear, however I do long rides at least a couple of times a month and go on at least one 2 week training camp each year and hence get a decent (but not massive) amount of mileage in the saddle. The team colour (LiquiGas) paintwork version of Bianchi is close to being outrageous, being a 1/3rd yellow, 1/3rd green, 1/3rd blue-ish… (see photo at bottom) but I have to say, I love being seen on this bike. The price of the bike was also substantially cheaper than some of the more boring colours so that's another bonus to me!
Insurance
I use Cycleguard insurance to insure my road bike (£45 per year basic, http://www.cycleguard.co.uk/), however I have to keep it inside (very inconvenient and space eating). I'm really...
