My Bicycle and I

Hello
A couple of months ago I cheekily made use of this forum to spruik my magazine-style cycling website/blog My Bicycle and I and now I find myself in the position of having to do so again – not because I am desperate, but because a domain name change has been forced upon me and for the past few weeks anyone who might have cared to follow my posts would have found that the site was ‘unavailable’.
Now it is back up again – for good this time – under the address:
http://www.My-Bicycle-and-I.co.uk
By way of introduction for those who didn’t notice my blurb last time around, I am a long-time magazine writer (Time, National Geographic, Conde Nast, Nature) and photographer who loves bicycles and cycling but who seldom gets an opportunity to write about either in any of the publications to which I usually contribute. And so I decided to create my own magazine-style blog and give myself an outlet. I hope you will have a look and that you will find some things on there you like.

Like the new bike - considering getting a tourer with bar end shifters although I've never used them - how do you find them?0

I've used bar ends for 30 years and really like them. Very very simple so nothing can go wrong with them (and if anything did, they are dead easy to repair!) and that kind of simplicity and reliability is essential on long remote tours. They are also that bit more accessible (I think, anyway) as you ride than down tube shifters, particularly coming up hills.
I would guess to someone used to Ergo or STI they might take a bit of getting used to, but on a touring bike I wouldn't have anything else.0
