Without a doubt one of the most complex activities related to triathlon is the preparation of the kit bag pre-race. Over the years I have worked up a method to avoid forgetting any of the tools of the trade. The trick is to mentally envisage each of the steps, from the moment in which you…
13 of the best bicycle shops in the world Here’s a short list. Very personal. Very mixed up. For sure I’ve missed somewhere. Places I visited; places I know; places I’ve read about; At almostthere we have selected our personal favourite 13 bike shops in the world. The selection has been made from many…
