Picked one up recently and it's been pretty great
Should be noted it's not a hardshell, it will eventually let water in.
With that in mind however I've not been in any torrential downpours yet wearing it but it's held up exceptionally well in the rain I have been in. It's great as a wind jacket, or an extra light layer when it's nippy that packs down extremely well when it warms up. Honestly just a great all rounder with an exceptional fit (trimmer than equivilent gore ones imo) and a rather smart look with tasteful reflective bits.
Only downside is the rather steep price, but comparable for the jackets in its price range.

towards the more cycle end of non cycling looking cycle shoes the decathlon 500 spd's are pretty nifty, easy enough to walk in/ not too weird looking to pop to shops/cafe etc before/after work
sole is as stiff as you'd want for walking, paired with a set of shoes tucked under the work desk has worked well for me for the last 4-5 months

definitely will have a look, will give me ammunition against house mates when they say "do you really need two bikes in the office room?"
@%~} that route looks.... a lot better...i can finally spend less time pushing more time pedalling

I'm impressed at how well the sticker has held up

I've been watching the lines like a hawk, this was planned for last weekend before the floods, weather was actually v nice today.
Atmospheric gloom and light rain at mam tor where you wanted it, pleasent cloudy sunshine elsewhere, better than the "rain all day" dark sky predicted

First foray into the peaks, should not have taken the quarry road out of Buxton, I was about to pack it in after that
The descent into bradwell was incredibly pretty, well worth,
Mam tor I completely under estimated and was thourally reminded of my congenital heart disease, pushed to the top, the other side is 20% descent???!! If it wasn't for the stunning rock formations that line it I would have gone the way I came up.
Road through hope valley is lovely, was planning to go onto Sheffield but with my heart feeling like it was going to explode I turned round a third of the way up, lovely wide road descent back into the valley, yet more great rock formations,
Got the train back to manc from hope

that is disappointing, guess you can't beat the "new bike pick two" out of nice frame, nice components and affordability
Whom was hauling it down oxford road this afternoon on a black and silver bowmans, looked good.
