  1. Hi Everyone one, Camping holidays used to be a breeze when it was me, the wife and the two dogs. Everything used to fit n the back of the car and two bikes on a towbar mounted rack. Then child one came and we upgraded to a little venter trailer. then child 2. things still worked out with the trailer and the bike rack while they were small. now things changed as I have 4 bikes that needs to come with. (one still small). on my last trip (the first one with 3 bikes on the rack, one in the trailer) I found that the trailer pushes against the bike wheel when I have all 3 on the back. We have also now upgraded to a bigger, offroad trailer with a nose cone so we will have even less space between bikes and trailer I need some advice now. What is the best option to travel with bikes and a trailer? IS it advisable to load bikes on a roof rack on the trailer? worried that the trailer might be too bouncy and damage bikes. is it better to load the bikes on the car roof? I have seen option to mount towbars on the back of trailers and then adding the bike rack. is this a viable option Thanks everyone!
  2. Hi Everyone, I am in the market for a replacement bicycle after some @#£@ decided to borrow mine, permanently....and without my knowledge... I need some advice on what to buy. over the last few years I really fell in love with cycling long gravel roads and hoping to do more 100 mailers in the future. So from that point of view I am tempted to buy a gravel bike. Then again I don't want to give up the option to go ride proper MTB trails with friends and budget does not allow to get two bikes. Do any of you have some recommendations on what to buy?
  3. Hi everyone, Life happened and now my daily commute to work will be about 3 hours in total resulting in me not being able to do any week day riding and with family time being limited to weekends now I will have very limited time to get out riding. I now need to find an indoor training option that will allow me to do short high intensity workouts at night so that I can stay fit and strong. When I do get out I want to be able to make the most of it What are you recommendations for trainers? I do know about some of the awesome highend trainers out there but I am also on a tight budget. Are spinning bikes a viable option?
