When it comes to going faster on your bike, most authorities agree that one of the most cost-effective (i.e. speed increase for money spent) investments you can make is in an aero helmet.  Estimates vary on exactly how much time you can save over the course of a triathlon bike course (or, of course, a TT), but compared to spending £1000-plus on an aero wheelset, a couple of hundred pounds on a helmet seems like a bargain.

Yup; it’s the time of the year when runs start to get cold, wet and - if like me you live in a rural setting - pretty darned mucky! So with that in mind I thought this would be a good time to take a look at Skechers’ GOBionic Trail shoes.

The GOBionic Trails replace Skechers previous GORun Trail shoes (reviewed elsewhere on this site) and feature a slightly different approach, more akin to the GOBionic run shoes the firm introduced a while back. The idea of the GOBionic Trails is that they offer a ‘barefoot feel’ but with the obvious weather and sole protection you’d expect from a shoe designed for off-road runs.
