REVIEW: Rido Rlt saddle
Ever suffered from discomfort in the saddle? Well it’s a safe bet that most cyclists have at some time felt uncomfortable during a ride and whilst this could be down to any number of things, saddle shape/size is undoubtedly one of the main reasons.

REVIEW: Rapha Pro Team Jacket
Billed as a jacket for high tempo riding during the colder months it’s safe to say that the new Pro Team Jacket from Rapha is designed for quite a niche area of the cycle clothing market, and perhaps one that most of us don’t usually bother catering for.
