Quad Lock Phone Mount

It truly is that simple. For all the multitude of phone mounts available, we’ve used quad lock on extended cycle tours, allowing us to be guided by google maps, on road bikes as we record Strava and on mountain bikes too. It’s secure and easy to fit and easy to remove on the fly, allowing you to take pictures from your phone easily.

Bikepacking gear – Revelate Designs Fuel bags and Gastank

A company whose DNA is in adventure and bikepacking, Revelate Designs have been at the forefront of bag design and manufacture for the past 10 years. Originally manufactured from their base in Anchorage, Alaska, founder Eric Parsons has years of bike touring experience behind him across tough, high mountain ranges with cumbersome touring gear which led him to design a lighter and more versatile bag system. His constant thoughts and ideas and athlete feedback constantly feed into new designs and the current range offers bags from the durable, to the super light weight to speedier access.

The Advent of the E-Bike

Firstly, video did not kill the radio star – Steve Wright is living proof of the longevity of that format. Secondly, the Kindle did not kill off the book, and finally, and the reason for this blog – the E-bike will not kill off good old fashioned cycling.

Touring Lake Balaton Part 3

So it is our last day cycling, and I was both excited and sad at the same time. We had all become great friends during our tour, led by Tamas, with Peter and Laszlo keeping us supplied with water, coke and lots and lots of humour.

Touring Lake Balaton Part 1

Arriving at the airport, the first thing I saw was a large sign saying #helloHungary. Speaking to Tamas, this is a drive by Hungary to promote tourism, of which cycling is a key part.
