Jones in the Philippines

A few years ago I was invited to a bike festival in the Philippines. I didn’t know what to expect but it was certainly an opportunity I couldn’t miss. I am so glad I went. It was an amazing experience. I wrote about it in a previous blog post. And there’s a video taken […]

The Long Ranger

I built this bike in 2009. It’s made from 4130 chromoly. It came about from riding the tandem home alone from the school after dropping off the kids and from riding an old heavy Chinese ‘workhorse’ bike I’ve had for an age – both are ‘long’ bikes and both very stable. The Long Ranger […]
