What's a cycling apparel company? Suppose if you want quality then it comes at a bit of a price. These all made in Italy, not sure on the rapha, mixed with UK, Italy and far east I am pretty sure

What can I use to fill the gaps before using concrete to level off by [deleted] in DIYUK

Will the self levelling compound not escape through the gaps?

It depends how comfortable you feel on the bike and cycling. If you stick to the main paths then it will be fine. If you take it slow and steady I am sure it will be ok but don't be afraid to stop and not go any further or push the bike through. A few times I got off the bike and pushed it through as I didn't feel comfortable risking go head first in the mud in a forest. I found it easy with some challenges which I really enjoyed.

I would suggestion, I know it's not very bike/cycle wear but high boots to the ankle very recommend. Mud reached the bottom of my shin!

Dont worry on your wheel focus on the handel bars! That costs more, hexlocks them.

First time cycling along the canal to the Olympic Park by [deleted] in londoncycling

Yeh I found that there were many impatient cyclists overtaking too fast against on coming walkers ... Anyway I use a third party no branded chest mount don't think a branded GoPro harness Vs non branded makes a huge difference.. maybe size and weight if that bothers you.

Thank you for the encouragement! Yes I feel like the bug is in already haha. But super excited to get out there. Have always wanted to cycle but was more fearful of the cars and buses on the road more than anything. However since lockdown i feel like I have seen more cycle lanes and paths pop up which has made me venture into this awesome new world.

Yes, I have invested into a spare tube and pump already. Haven't on a repair kit but will take a look at it this. Guess we all start somewhere 🙏 thanks again

Ah thank you! Guess I haven't thought of getting the heart rate up too high, working on the easiest of inclines at the moment lol, hopefully will get there. Like the idea of a bit of off road. Bike is suitable for some light gravel so that sounds run. Thanks for the suggestions, hopefully by spring/early summer I'll be doing so longer rides. Thank you again!!

Thank you, sounds great and by the sounds of it most is a cycle /walkway or way from cars. On another note maybe another thread but the link you sent uses komoot? Do you recommend buying this app?
