Planning a new commute.
Posted on May 14, 2014 by wheelist in Mapping, Riding.I moved house recently, and a new house means a new commute. I love maps, so planning a commute is almost as much fun as riding it. More fun if you have to ride a really bad commute (technically it’s impossible to have a really bad commute by bicycle). There are some great tools for […]

Coaching at Coed y Brenin
Posted on January 14, 2014 by wheelist in Coaching.2014 is starting out rather damp, but thankfully my first coaching session of the year was well-timed to take advantage of one of the few brief haituses that have occurred between the near-incessant downpours.

My ‘Cross Bike is for Sale
Posted on March 4, 2013 by wheelist in Riding.You know how it is: you wait ages for a new bike and then three come along at once. So far this year it’s a new hardtail, a cyclocrosser, and now a new road bike. Sweet eh? Well, it all sounds good, but what it actually means is that I have to sell something to […]
