We asked you...

THE BIG QUESTION

What has been your biggest

cycling-related indulgence?

The chocolate bar that re-energised me
when I had bonked.
Alex Fulton

Moving in with a cyclist.
Liz Johns

Half a lifetime invested just to
impress 60-year-old men on occasional
Sunday mornings...
Paul Oz

I once bought three gels when really
two would’ve been more than enough.
I still have it on my shelf, which serves
to prove it was an indulgence in the
truest sense.
Scott Campbell

A 10-day trip to Perth to race in the Gran
Fondo World Championships 2016... and
then buying a Canyon CF SLX Aeroad.
Pete Hicks

Going to the Tour Down Under in

January for a weekend in 2018.

Annie Oakley

A custom-built bike.

Joyce Halstead

Two new bikes! Don’t tell the wife

though, I’m still not sure she’s realised

they’re both this year...

Ian Knight

Opening a bike shop!

Jamie Quiggin

Bikes in the house where it’s nice and

warm. I love them.

Laura Lancaster

Single purchase: new 105 5800 groupset.

Combined total spend in the last year:

coffee stops.

Mac McDade

Next week’s big question...

What is the best way to inspire yourself

to get out on your bike when you can’t

be bothered?

Stopping frequently on rides to admire

the scenery. Not sure whether that’s an

indulgence or just what cycling is really

all about.

Graham Mills

Zipp 440s in 1992. Worth every penny!

Stuart Pringle

I got a £2,000 tax rebate and spent it all

on Rapha.

Charlie Dawson

Buying photos of myself taken while I

was riding in a sportive.

Chris Brandt

Excluding bikes, pretty much anything

that I’ve bought more than one of, when

not really needed... shoes, helmets,

sunglasses, etc.

Dave Pargeter

Buying some ‘aspirational cycling

apparel’ to impress the cool kids.

David Walker

Stainless-steel vacuum flask that fits

into a bottle cage. Now every lane,

layby and verge has the potential to be

a coffee stop!

Erik Paige

This year’s indulgence was my Trek

Project One Madone.

Brian Woods

A power meter.

Brian Sharpe

Sometimes you have

to splash the cash
