A grand day out

Spending a £1000 on a bike is a big step up for those who want to get serious about cycling. We reveal four of the most wallet-friendly, best bang-for-your-buck bikes with appearances from Boardman, Vitus, Giant and Genesis.

Pedal power

With the promise of more efficient power transfer it makes sense to get stuck in and go with clipless pedals. The Cycling Plus team set to work finding out which are the top 10 pedals and what to look out for when making that purchase.

Small change, big rewards

From burnout to back problems to just plain old boredom, when training goes wrong it’s easy to find yourself stuck in a rut. James Witts takes the eight most common issues and talks to celebrity riders and experts about how to go about setting it right.

A Welsh adventure

Trevor Ward explores the path less trodden on a visit to a deserted mid-Wales where he takes on the formidable, and notorious, Bwlch y Groes (Pass of the Cross) after which Trevor finds himself washed up on the shore of Lake Vyrnwy.
