Are any of you into cycling and combining that with your "lifestyle suv's"?
I got bitten by the bug 3 years ago (after a football injury forced me to hang up my boots) and love tearing around on a mountain bike during the winter, and a road bike during the summer.

I bought a BMW M Carbon road bike & BMW Enduro mountain bike ! most people who own BMWs dont even know they even make bikes .
Just bought a carbon disc synapse , it is brilliant although you have to remember the brakes stop it instantly it is like having carbon brakes on a bike .

Better than you think.
When I bought it friends said the tyres would make it unrideable because of the rolling resistance but in truth I find it much easier than my Orange P7.
Haven't ridden much because of the weather but hoping to do a few rides this year when the weather (hopefully) picks up.
I bought it when I did because I wanted to try it in the snow but all we've had is rain.

Re: Cycling
I find the same with my cube 29er. Really comfortable (and only slightly slower) than my road bike over short distances. The locking fork feature helps eliminate the bounce when riding it on the roads.

Re: Cycling
The folding bike is a hoot in central london. A real conversation starter with all sorts of people. My commute is a 5 mile ride to nearest oyster accepting station, then tube to central london, followed by a 2-3 mile ride to various offices. By taking a tablet (+ bluetooth keyboard), i can take a smaller lighter racktop bag, which means i arrive pretty fresh

The canondale bikes are regarded very highly by the cycling world. Not sure the BMW designed ones would come close, but never having seen reviews or riding one, i could be wrong. Put a few pics of them up when you have a moment

Re: Cycling
Are you running a full Dura ace Horizon ? what does it weigh ?
The M carbon is a 58cm weight 7.25kg without the pedals , Synapse is just over 8.5kg size 56cm but has heavier discs on. My son has just got a Caad10 2015 very light & changes direction like a nat .
Worst thing is finding time to get on the bike although better weather on its way hopefully .
