At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.
What the road.cc scores meanGood scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

Let's get the whole 'saddles are a personal thing' bit out of the way - I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't think the Charge Spoon is a comfy perch. That's pretty rare, so they must be doing something right. Other things they're doing right are making it look cool, with a nice stitched finish, and not charging the earth for it. The Cromo version is still the winner for value, but the lighter Ti version is a lot of saddle for the money. It's available in brown, black leather (for a bit more) and pimpy white.

Deliberate traffic violation + professional driver = immediate driving ban.
Do the bike registration schemes have any effect? Do they make it harder to offload a stolen bike? ...

Nice for Nadeem. Bicycle theft is often associated with other criminality. Same as road violence and other lawlessness on the roads.
Yes. If we expect people to cycle to places they now mostly drive to then they have to have routes that go to those places which feel safe and are...
Pretty stunning disaster of a comment. Gratuitous bigotry, irrelevant to the point of the article, nothing of substance worth saying or replying to...
