What is the best drink to have when the sun is very out? Iced coffee? Coke Light (imported from Euriope)? Lager shandy? A good ol’ cup of tea maybe..? Probably not Bovril.

As we gulp down our pints of iced Sparkling Vimto here in the Costa del Tod, we bring you the very freshest of Fresh Goods. Nevr mind the quantity, feel the width. Or something.

Bike Industry: send us some interesting stuff for next week please! K THX BYE.

What’s your favourite track that mentions mountain bikes?DJI Osmo Mobile 7P

• Price: £135.00
• From: DJI

As an older person, I cannot be doing with small screens. So while stabilized action cameras are all well and good, I find the screens just too small to assess things like critical focus or even general framing, let alone trying to read and navigate menus on a screen the size of a hotel pack of safety matches (remember those?) Anyways, I hope having this smartphone gimbal will come to my rescue when I feel the need to do some solo-shooting of test bike walk/talk-arounds and such like,.

BITD STW sez: “There aren’t many of us who’ll visit the local bike shop and end up one £8000 bike richer. Fortunately you can score a complete Solo for less than half the price of our test bike. First impressions are that it’s the perfect blend of up, down and along thrills.”
