The Tour de France start on 2nd July and it has the potential to be one of the best for GB riders. Brad Wiggins looks in great form and will challenge for a podium place, Cav will have plenty of chances to sprint his way into the record books and wants the green jersey and David Miller looks good for TT honours, can't wait for this one.

Fancy riding the Paris Roubaix on a fixed gear. This vid caught my eye recently, it features a group who did just that.
Spotted this very nice piece of work on Vimeo by Oton Bacår using a Canon 7D and Twixtor slow mo editing software. Altogether a very Mellow piece of work I'm sure you will agree.
THERMAJOCK A must have this winter. We don't plan on stocking these as yet but who knows in the future. www.thermajock.com

As dyed in the wool Apple Mac devotees I was interested to come accross this an iPOD or iPHONE controlled bike which was recently patented by Apple. An iPOD mounted on the bars uses sensors and no doubt a dedicated App to give all the usual GPS related data, record heartrate cadence speed etc. G3 conectivity would allow for real time road reports, data transfers to fellow cyclists and also opens up possibilities for the likes of voice commands to change gear.
