Mountain Cycle 2000 Aftershock

Advantages: small, easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: not accurate

...After buying a mountain bike over a year ago, I must admit I hardly ever use it. This year I've started making a few changes to my life and one is to start some form of exercise to become slightly fitter - so I bought a cycling computer ! No it won't make me fit but I thought it would act as an incentive to get me out and about because its a new gadget for me to play with but obviously have to travel far to test it properly. Oooooookaaaaaaaay you're thinking ! but anyway, I ordered it from that lovely little place called ebay for £5.99 and thought what a bargain. Similar computers with only 9 functions cost about £15 in the shops and do less. So it arrives typically on a day I have to go to work and can't use it :(. When I get home from work I read the booklet - yes us men can read booklets its just half the time we choose not too... Read review

Advantages: Great to have a bike.
Disadvantages: Can be price if you want quality

...As all the title says here is Top Touring 2000. I am not entirely sure what it is about. Is it about the bikes? The tour itself? Or what? Anyway. Here is my account of touring through Switzerland and Germany. I have been a bit of a bike nut as you may have seen if you've read "The folding london experience" about the folding bikes. So I decided to spend big and doled out about 1000 pounds for my OCR Beastie. It is about 12kg, 24-5 pounds, and discbrakes, shimanu 105 gear system, the works. So I decided to give it a wirl. Here's an account from my diary...... (The mileage/kilometerage! starts at 215km, as that was what my computer read from day one!!) Day 1 215km - 305km , ( 90km ) Bazel was great, found a good map for cycling. People looked funny, buildings huge. Felt great to stretch my cycling legs again. Rolling... Read review

Advantages: Everything about this shoes and idea of having that type of shoes
Disadvantages: none

...If you think that people who have this shoe are maniacs or sportsmen's only - you are wrong. That type of shoe (with cleats) is the best possible solution for you, your cycling comfort and safety. Got them for over one year now and they are still in one piece and perfect condition. I had a number of serious accidents, but thanks idea of cleating into pedals- I went through with cuts and bruises only. Just imagine yourself commuting on a busy road and accidently someone bumps your rear wheel. Normally you would felt over or fall on his mask. Not when having them. They will hold you on bike or help to accumulate most of force. I mean not shoes itself  They won't let you leave bicycle unless you want it or force is so strong. All things am telling you now taking from my own cycling experience so I believe that is best... Read review
