Living in Canberra I‘ve noticed a considerable amount of home made number plates attached to bike trailers. What is the reason behind this as surely when forking out hundreds or more on a bike trailer one can afford the additional $50 for a number plate? Not sure if the police actually enforce...

Hi all, I ended up pulling the pin on a Giant Trance X Advance Pro 2 for $3,999 and am due to collect it this week. Lo and behold a Parktool spanner has been thrown into the works where on opportunity to go away for work for a few years has come up. I’ve spoken to the bike shop who have been...
