The Cycling Mayor

My bikes:

My “old” bike is a Claude Butler Levante which I’ve had since mid-August 2006, and on which I had done around 9750 miles before I replaced it with…

…My shiny “new” bike, which is a Cube Axial WLS Comp 2009 that I’ve had since spring 2009, and it rocks!

My bikes’ bits:

• Saddle: I did have a Selle Italia 2007 Lady Gel Flow, which did many thousands of miles, and needed replacing.  So I now have a Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow and it rocks!  It’s even better than the last one
• Tyres: Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Fold – at least my second set.

My current cycling kit is as follows:

Helmet : Giro Indicator in Black/Pewter – my third one – I’ve cracked two (but not my head!) and swear by them

Scarf: various assorted Buffs.

Sunglasses: Polaris Kir Royale in silver

Shrug: Terry Bolero black fleece lined shrug (beats arm warmers every time!)
