Newish bike wanted

I want a fast bike thats easy to ride got about £300 to spend. Any ideas.

The Carrera CX bike will be OK and has some advantages - it'll be tougher and more resistant to punctures. However, if you're more interested in speed that practicality, you can get a Mekk Pinerolo with a carbon fibre fork for the same money - http://www.rutlandcycling.com/294813/products/mekk-2015-pinerolo-al-zr...

Wait till Evans Cycles opens on Mitchams Corner.
They might have some good opening offers.

I bought my Kona from their shop in London Bridge.... Love it.

Chapeau on becoming the owner of a Boardman - a wise choice, because it's well-known that red bikes are fastest (but black ones are better).

Now you need to learn some cycling lingo...

"Yeah, so I just danced up the Beechwoods; smashed my PB" ("I just rode up Beechwoods Hill; it took me half an hour but last week it took 35 minutes")

"That guy's such a chopper" ("He doesn't do things the same way as me, therefore I dislike him." Especially used upon sighting a cyclist in a yellow jersey, because "real" cyclists consider it a crime to wear a yellow jersey if you haven't won a Tour de France))

"You're such a Fred" ("You have a better bike than me, but I'm a better cyclist than you")

"You're such a Doris" ("You're a female Fred")

My arse is really sore of that racing saddle, sooooo uncomfertable.

Where is the magimix?

I know some motor bike lingo

"Check his/her chiken strips, only does straights".

He/her tires are not worn down the sides denoting they don't lean down far going round corners. They only go fast on straight roads. I,e. they are scarred of their bike.

You'll get used to the saddle - and when you do, you'll find that a hard, narrow saddle is actually a hell of a lot more comfortable for rides longer than down the shops and back than a wide, squishy saddle is.

You can have the Magimix when you can do a sub-25min 10 mile time trial. :-)
