Editor's current daily rider suffers electrical ohm my god moment

- Jim Moore

TDT IS THE HOOT I thought it’d be for a flat-out door to door thrash along the South Lincs/ North Cambs lanes in which maintained momentum is everything. If I’m not sporting a huge smile when I get to work or home, then it’s not a DT day.

That narrow seat's a pain – literally – especially with longer trips planned. The solution is an Air Hawk comfort seat. At £112.50 it isn’t cheap, but I can use it on any bike. It's an inflatable extra that secures in place on top of the original seat. I’m planning a mini-tour on the DT in spring of southwest Wales, so that’ll be the Air Hawk’s first proper test.
