Well, another year, another birthday. This year, despite being off the bike, I received a good haul of bicycle related presents and things.

There was a copy of Cycling Plus, a copy of Rouleur (which I now have a subscription to thanks to one of the founding members of the highway Cycling Group, my step-mum Helen), Graham Fife's the Beautiful Machine and to top it all off, Laura sent me a bike mag from Japan called Funride, not for my birthday specifically, but it arrived at the right time. Fantastic. Reviews of the mags and books will go up shortly.
