Keep your toes dry while you cycle

Advantages: keep your feet dry
Disadvantages: wear out quickly

...Endura MT500 overshoe If you cycle for pleasure or out of necessity then there will come a day when your feet get soaked and, as a result, cold. That?s where these overshoes come into their own. While they will not always keep your feet perfectly dry they will keep them warm. Formed from stretchy, windproof and waterproof material and with reflective trim for added safety, they are designed to fit quite snugly over cycling shoes and if you cycle in trainers you might need to buy a larger size than you would anticipate. Worth saying that road racers will want even more snug fitting designs to cut drag. These shoes are intended for mountain bike and cross country riding. The design allows the cleats of cycling shoes (metal parts that fit like a key into a lock on the pedal) and the tread under the shoe, to protrude and engage. This...

Advantages: Has EVERYTHING you need, site is easy to use and secure, Excellent online experience

Credit crunch cycle clothing

Advantages: Safe and secure, very quick delivery, very reasonable prices, great quality products
Disadvantages: Limited products - unless you want Speg or it's own brand then forget it

...Cycle-clothing.co.uk Cycle-clothing.co.uk is a website that, as its name suggests, sells cycle gear. The site is divided in to three separate tabs that are cycle wear, eyewear and custom designs. Whilst the first two tabs are self-explanatory the third one isn?t. With a heading of custom designs you may think that it is ?custom? clothing, i.e. items specific and unique to Cycle-clothing.co.uk. This is not the case. The custom section allows customers to send in their designs and Cycle-clothing will endeavour to produce it, for a price. This is the place where cycling clubs can get their team kit made, or an individual can get a personalised jersey made. The tab gives very broad brush prices but if you want something made then you need to contact Cycle-clothing.co.uk direct to discuss specific requirements, which are then...

My life Cycle

Advantages: Keeps you fit
Disadvantages: makes your legs ache

...I see this review and thought this is one for me because I ahve been cycling all my life. The first bike I remember having was a metallic orange chopper. Some of you might know what a chopper is especially as they have just made a comeback. A chopper was a laid back bike with handle bars that turn in towards the elongated seat. The gears were like what you'd expect to find in an automatic car with a red handle to make it easy to locate. This bike lasted me for years, then when I was about 12 years old my grandad bought me a limited edition Peugeot Touring racer. This bike changed my life in a lot of ways, firstly it helped me loose weight. Thus gaining more self confidence, Secondly it gave me a chance to get out of the little village I lived in and visit the local townand thirdly get a paper round. The paper round I had started in my...

Review of Cycling - General

Fawkes Cycles

Advantages: Great quality footage
Disadvantages: More expensive than cheap helmet cams

...New website for cycling goods, I like the layout and format of the site. The live stock levels gave me the confidence to order, the stuff arrived in three days as promised. It would be nice if the mailing was faster, but the price was good and the delivery free of charge. The product images are really strong and amongst the best I've seen online. Most of the descriptions are good, but some are a little lightweight or incomplete. I ordered one of the ContourHD helmet cams, amazing price (£50 cheaper than elsewhere) , it arrived on time as was as described. Nice to have another site which looks like its been well designed and thought through as a alternative to the usual suspects (CRC and Wiggle). Seems that they focus a little more on niche products. Overall a decent shop!...

The Fashion World - The Devil wears Prada

Advantages: Good storyline, great acting
Disadvantages: Doesn't stick to the book

...I had actually read the book of The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger before seeing this film for the first time and therefore think I may have a slightly different opinion to someone who has not read the book. The plot of the film is that a young girl called Andrea who has just graduated from college is out to find her first job. She really wants to become a journalist but knows she must find any way into the industry she can. She ends up going for a job at a top fashion magazine Runway. This job isn't for a serious journalist role though; it is to be the new assistant to Miranda Priesly. Miranda is a notorious woman in the fashion industry who will not take no for an answer. When Andy attends the interview Miranda looks her up and down and is certainly disapproving of her attire. Andy ends up bursting out in anger during...

Review of The Devil Wears Prada (DVD)

The Devil Wears Prada

Advantages: Acting, Fashion
Disadvantages: Not Many

...The devil wears Prada is a 2006 comedy drama film directed by David Frankel and starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. It revolves around the vicious and back stabbing world of fashion, and the people in it. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) has just graduated from Northwest university and moves to New York, hoping to be a journalist at the New Yorker. However, the reality?s a little different. While looking for jobs, she finds out that if she becomes the junior assistant to the infamous Miranda Priestly, she?ll have her pick of great jobs after just a year. Although it seems like an amazing deal, it soon turns out to be anything but. The job that a million girls would dream for turns out to be more like Andy?s idea of hell, working for the demanding Miranda Priestly exhausts her and her life outside of work begins to disappear. Also, she doesn...

Wear it maxx for 1 day!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Chips after one day

... Introduction I only occasionally wear nail varnish when I use light, neutral colours. However I recently took up belly dancing and I wanted my toes and hand nails look nice while dancing. I was specifically looking for a colour that matched my costume. Of all shades available 'Velvet Rose' from Rimmel came closest to what I wanted. The packaging The bottle that you can see on the third product photo is small, round and has a handle of about the same size with a normal, thin brush. The black handle (annoyingly and misleadingly) says 'Up to 10 days'. The number 10 is exaggerated while the 'days' are in smallprint. (Now I see why.) Application This brush is quite small and is the standard thin shape, not the new fan-shaped one that appeared recently from Bourjois. The varnish can settle which means...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Merlin cycles

Advantages: Price and service
Disadvantages: None to date

...I have used Merlin cycles for over 10 years and have always found their mail order service to be excellent. Goods products always at competitive prices. My first contact with Merlin was when I need ed some wheels, following a good review in MBUK I took the plunge and purchased a set and have never looked back since. Although they now mainly do their business throught their website you can still give them a call for any advice you may need or to check on delivery, something that seems to be missing in this new email world. Customer service with goods prices what more could you want. If you go up to the Lake District like me occasionally why not call in to their shop and see before you buy....

Review of Merlin Cycles

Soap and Glory Slim Wear

Advantages: Great smooth skin,firm thighs,great texture and minty smell
Disadvantages: the price in a way

...upwards,so I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to give the company a try. I initially picked up two Body Butters for 10.00p,because I'd heard that they were extremely nourishing and gave your skin a good drink. I admitedly only picked up 'Slim Wear' because I wanted my free item to be equal in price and seeing as I'm a bit of a worrier about my thighs,it seemed the right option. 'Slim Wear' retails at 9.50p for a 200ml plastic bottle,but it was free to me due to the offer. The packaging: If anyone is aware of the company 'Benefit',then their products look very similar,but at a fraction of the price. Benefit can only be bought in department stores such as 'Hammonds' and 'Selfridges',and all their packaging contains pictures of 'vintage' photos or drawings,that are took straight from the 50's. Well Soap and Glory are...
