With it being a nice evening and not wanting to waste any of this all too short summer, I went out
riding for a couple of hours. I must have seen aroud 40 ish people out and not one on a Planet X bike.

I only ask because my riding mate is after a N2A Guru, are Planet X not very good ? Most of the
bike I see are Specialized, Cannondale and Giant.

    That is because those are the basic brands people can buy in shops. Nowhere stocks Planet X except for planet x

    If you head out near any triathlon you'll see shedloads of PX's.
    I saw one on the telly yesterday doing the London to Paris thing.

    Oh and one in the kitchen too.

    Would it be breaking the rules if I was to ride my PX home from work today? It's a long walk otherwise.

    Yes they are a good bike, I ride a Planet X Pro Carbon and ride at all sorts of different times.
    Some people like to buy bigger named brands that are available from most places.

    You shouldn't do that. My 82mm's are best served 7am-9am and/or 1pm-3pm as stated above.
