GETTING INTO GEAR

Editor-in-chief Sarah Sellens rediscovers her love of road cycling with British brand Pearson's Forge 105 bike and a ride in France

If you used to be a keen cyclist but riding fell to the wayside when life – or the roads – got busier, you're in good company. A combination of more cars and less time has seen my cycling ventures diminish to the odd celebratory birthday ride, a summer triathlon or two, and a whole lot of indoor pedalling. And in this time, I've not realised my old-faithful road bike has reached an aged status whereby it feels heavy, clunky and not at all enjoyable to ride. So, I tried the Pearson Forge 105 (from £4,700, pearsoncycles.com) and my whole perspective of road cycling shifted.
