We are migrating over to the new platform for selling, buying and trading ‘Ready to ride’ bikes. Whereby accessories are only exchanged as part of the general sale of a bike.
Bike Shelf has been a steep learning curve but Bike Shelf One is the future, so if you haven’t already visited and liked or followed, please do so now. Very shortly this page will be discontinued and no longer available.

Got a pair of Womens HokaOneOne Bondi's Ex Demo size 9.5 going cheap.
The details behind my progression in running:
How it started: Pre 2019: 3.5hours average throughout the year per week. 2019 = 5.30, 2020 / 2021: 6.14.
I’ve been sponsored by HOKA since 2019, the range of shoes available, and support I receive has been a huge part of achieving run consistency.
Alongside (+more):
👉🏻 Rest and recovery (maximising between sessions, no alarm days where possible for max 😴).
👉🏻 Run load management in training (consistent loading helps me, no sharp increases).
👉🏻 S&C (primarily heavy lifting throughout winter, although I’ve been terrible since the season started 🧐).
👉🏻 Mixed terrain running.
👉🏻 Track history (400/800m) in younger days (plyometric and underpinning run tech).
👉🏻 Easy easy (5min k and slower - a lot slower in our trails!).
👉🏻 Fun / adapt sessions to train with others.
👉🏻 I often have my best thoughts running - no gadgets. Freedom.
👉🏻 Clarity on what you’re working towards. Consistency by number for you. Ie if your goal is 3hours a week, aim to do consistently.
👉🏻 Periods, understand your cycle (I lost mine for two months this summer, I addressed the stress and they came back).
For me (everyone is different), this has helped enabled my run to become a strength, rather feeling vulnerable coming off the bike. And has taken heaps of years (like 20!!) to progress to where I am now. Sometimes we can feel we do all the right things, and still have setbacks. So that’s why it’s important to celebrate the small wins when it is going okay ❤️.
These new Bondi X have become a staple run mileage shoe. Weighing 300g, with the softest HOKA foam to date. For every runner, looking for that extra spring in their step. Maximum cushioning with a lush carbon fibre plate. This shoe is for everyone no matter what your goals are ❤️

If you need anything bike related we can get it to you and ship straight away. Within in reason, ie. a new Pinarello Dogma might be a stretch but other than that it’s out there, and we will search the community to find it if we haven’t got it at hand.
Also feel free to post your gear for sale on here, and complete ready to ride bikes on the newly created page BikeShelfOne.

The Danes are accusing the GB Olympic team of being Brain Dead, after the rear ender, against the dropped team mate. The brits think that Charlie Tanfield's friction burned suit sums it up perfectly. NB: Photo showing Frederik Madsen of Team Denmark giving poor Charlie a lambasting, even though Freddy crashed into him.
