I've been thinking about a road bike for a little while now, and like any self respecting geek I've spent countless hours reading and researching online.

After chatting to Phil about bikes a few weeks ago I started looking seriously at the Giant TCR range, and this week, after much agonising I took the plunge and bought a TCR 1.

I think it's much sexier in real life than their product shot gives it credit for, and what an amazing machine. It's so light!!!!

Now I just have to learn how to ride it :)

On a fairly unrelated note,we're hiring programmers, designers and producers at the moment. Cyclists will fit in well. I also might have to start blogging more about technical subjects to keep James happy.
