Recommendations please for a rear light with camera… Wondering if the Garmin ones that send alerts to your device are the best ones? @UKCycleChat can you help please?

Ladies & gentlemen.. After a recent op all my riding at the mo is confined to the turbo. Let’s just say I’m sweating a lot more than usual so am after some suggestions & recommendations. Tried different bibs & always ride with the fan on. @ukcyclingexpert @UKCycleChat

The Irish Government is planning new road-safety rules that would make wearing a helmet mandatory for cyclists, including people using e-bikes. Although no start date is confirmed. Is this a sensible approach? #ukcyclechat

Packaging up the first batch of sales of Eat Sleep Cycle now that the inserts in memory of Tim have arrived. If you want to buy a copy of the book, you can order it here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… This is how I met Tim in the first place, because he read my book 🩵

Cycling hive? Does anyone know where this route came from? I found it on Facebook in memories and it's a 6 day mountain bike route, but that's all I can remember #cycling #ukcyclechat #mtb #bikeadventures #Wales @UKCycleChat @UKMTB_Chat

I've been doing some calculations this morning. As I've already done the TOB tour and done 852.5km, by the time I've done this ride as well, by the end of Sept, I'll have done over 1,400km. That's a massive 30% of what I've already achieved since Jan 1st this year 🤯 #cycling

Just a quick question for all you bike packers. How much weight is too much? After recent trips one memory I have is those long climbs with slow pedalling all the way to the top but super fast descending! I would like to improve the climbing. Do you weigh before you go?
