10th September 2018

There’s more than one way to ride around Anglesey. Penmon Point, Anglesey, was deserted that Bank Holiday Monday evening. The beach looked firm, and in my mind’s eye it was straightforward – down the slope, along the pebbles, swing left over the high tide mark, into a depression, up onto the road and home. In…

Tested by: Mikko Nieminen¦£59.95¦www.absaar.co.uk When I first saw the new 6Ah Absaar pack, I couldn’t believe that this tiny box (not much bigger than my phone) could provide enough power to jump start a bike.

Tested by: Mikko Nieminen¦£369.99¦www.tranam.co.uk¦01425 620580 I love retro leather jackets, and the Carter from Bering is a particular favourite of mine. The design is simple but effective; no stripes or big logos, just a classy 70s-style cut, high-quality materials, and features that make a difference. The Carter may be a retro style, but there’s nothing…
