The August 2026 issue of Cycling Plus magazine (#448) is on sale now, packed with training tips, reviews and ride inspiration.
This month, we bring you rides in the South Downs and Scottish Highlands, explain how to smash the hills on your next sportive and ask how cycling on the roads can be made less of a nightmare.
We test sub-£100 helmets, bikes from Specialized, Ribble and Trek, and DT Swiss's latest carbon wheels.
Plus, we reveal how to make bike parts last longer, take a look at what sports nutritionists eat, see how bike lights are put together and find out whether tortuous cycling physiology lab tests are worth the pain and cost.
