Many more people are taking up road cycling – and many will be wondering about a host of questions. These questions might seem a little silly or trivial to those people who have been riding for a while, but they do require answers.

My Sunday Mail column this week focused on some of those cycling things that you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Mostly this article is for fun! Click on the pics to see the full pdf.
