Nice! I think my next cycle to work scheme bike will be one of them!

Anyone fancy a ride around the new forest? Road or off-road. Can accommodate 4 people easily and more with small tents in the garden.

Arrive Saturday PM (i have the kids in the morning.)
Ride Sunday and either head home Sunday evening or stay over and head back Monday morning.

Let me know if interested.

You won't regret it! Superb do-it-all bikes. I use it for the lighter/easier offroad- and mountainbike paths, although it amazes me how much offroad stuff you can take on with it. Onroad it's a dream as well, ofcourse not as light/nimble as a normal road bike but much more comfortable for long trips/bad roads and with some suitable tires you can still keep up with most of the roadie's.

Great ride around Derwent yesterday and got lucky with a flypast. Ignore my crappy plane spotting commentary.

Glorious noise ...

Went for a ride a while back, somewhere else in the Netherlands.

Had a weekend in Amsterdam a fee weeks ago, on a houseboat a few km south. Flat as a pancake but still loved it. We could easily live in the Netherlands.

On a serious note, glad you liked it! Luckily not the whole country is that flat, and we have the Eifel and Ardennes relatively close by

I love it when Danny puts out a new vid.

I appreciated seeing those as well, it just proved he is human after all.
One of the best bits for me was how Danny managed to land both wheels on the railway track like that, even if he did have a few takes on it to get it perfect, absolutely amazing
It just goes to show how in tune he is with his bike,

Chris.

Anyone spoken to the Essex Tango cyclist that is Jamie recently?

His bike control is stunning and it's more obvious when you see him riding his mountain bike rather than his trials bike.

Find the making of Imaginate for more out-takes. My favourite film I think. There's another where he rides the Cullin Ridge on Sky. I can't remember the name but it's also a cracker.

Genius

I've had this tab open to watch that movie for ages. What a cracker. I can't quite believe the bike survived that drop and the flip he pulled off was something else. Just shows how important talent is over equipment.
