Gildeas is a firm of solicitors specialising in personal injury work that has been around for more than 30 years. We act for people who have been injured with minor sprains and strains through to major life changing injuries. We have a dedicated team that handles 2 wheel accident claims who know about the importance of the kit that we ride on and that we wear so we know how important it is to make sure the things that were probably thought about for quite some time before they were purchased need to be replaced with the same item and how to argue for this with the insurers of the at fault party. We deal with claims arising from negligent car drivers, motorcyclists and local authorities and know the evidence that needs to be gathered at the beginning to form the foundation of the case. We can arrange physio and other treatments to get clients back to being fully recovered as quickly as is possible and reduce their time out the saddle. We make personal injury personal. www.gildeas.net www.facebook.com/gildeassolicitors

An insightful chat with someone who has been behind the scenes and seen it all. Show Sponsor: Schwalbe is the number 1 when it comes to tyres. Whether you have a city bike, touring bike, road bike, gravel bike or MTB: The tires affect the riding experience like no other bike component. The choice of tire not only determines how well the wheel grips the ground but also influences how easily and comfortably the bike rolls. Ideally, the tire combines such characteristics as maximum grip, high mileage, optimum rolling properties, low weight and reliable resistance to punctures. Sounds technical? The sum of these properties is tangible to every cyclist: as an optimum riding experience. At Schwalbe, we work to continually refine and improve this riding sensation – day in, day out. www.schwalbe.com
