Last week Restrap released their Switch Rack for sale. I’ve been waiting to purchase a pannier rack for my new bike and this looks like it might be the right one for me.

“The heart of the Restrap’s switch system; the switch rack is compatible with the switch panniers and all other switch multipoint products. The Switch Rack is compatible with thru-axle framed bikes and designed to be used with any 64mm-spaced accessories, like bottle cages.”

“The Restrap switch rack cage is probably the most versatile luggage solution for your switch rack.

You can even crack open a drink when you reach your location thanks to its built in bottle opener.”

I love the little touches like this!

The Switch Rack retails for £124.99 with the Switch Rack Cage another £39.99 on top of this. Switch panniers are 79.99 (10 litre) and £64.99 (5 litre).

It’s not going to be a cheap upgrade but looks like reliable and effective one.

I’ve been using Garmin radars with my Edge cycling computer for a few years now. I find them to be an essential safety feature that, in my experience, are very reliable. They help me to know what’s approaching from behind, how far away they are from me and

Route: Laureen’s Ride

I’ve seen signs for this route over the last few years but never investigated it further. Today I attempted to ride the full Laureen’s Ride. There’s surprising little detail on the route - it was created by, Laureen Roberts, whilst recovering from a broken leg. It was
