The padded bike bag can be the most convenient option for travelling with your steed and the Aerocomfort is one of the easiest to use. Open up the three-sided zip and you find an aluminium box section taking up the full stiff reinforced bag floor. Simply stow your wheels in the padded, zipped pockets on either side then attach your frameset via its dropouts using the tough skewers provided. The bag’s wider at the handlebar end than at the rear, meaning you don’t even have to undo your stem or remove the bars, though you do need to remove TT extensions. We had no problems fitting a 58cm road frame inside, and only had to drop the saddle a couple of inches. Our first go only took around 10 minutes to pack and subsequent practising has just about halved that. Scicon have been very generous in also including skewers; frame pads; a nylon frame cover; rear mech hanger protector; and a TSA approved padlock (a combination lock padlock that can still be opened by airport security with a master key only held by them). Moving the bag is easy thanks to four replaceable castors on the bottom, a removable drag handle and a padded shoulder strap, but it can be a little unstable when freestanding. Its weight, at 8.5kg including all the accessories, is good for the protection it offers and once you’ve removed your stuff it’ll pack down to a svelte 34cm x 39cm x 98cm, small enough to stow under a hotel room bed.

The outward appearance alone (squat, solid can) illustrates that POWER HORSE is more than simply a drink for partygoers,

stuntmen, and highflyers – it’s a drink for people who work hard every day and who push the envelope when it comes to

performance. A product that has optimum taste and optimum effect, an “energy concentrate” that fits the hand of an adult; the

energy drink for “powering on” rather than sipping at parties. POWER HORSE features a special mix of taurine, caffeine and

the vitamins B12, B2 and B6. This is what releases the energy of the consumer, the power waiting to be set free in each and every

one of us.

Caffeine is the most well established ergogenic aid. Reams of scientific data provide ample evidence for its effects.
