    DAB on the bike

    Simply had to be able to listen to Test Match Special on the bike, so bought a Pure Highway and and the Pure magnetic antenna from DAB on Wheels.

    The arial simply stick on the to the pannier rails and there's plenty of cable to tuck neatly under the seat and into the tank bag, where it plugs into the Highway, which, in turn, plugs into the Starcom. Sound quality is great.

    PS. the Highway doubles as a personal radio with headphones - cricket wherever you go.

    Hate cricket? Well you've got me stumped.

    The set-up works just as well for radio 4, which will be my morning listening on the way to jobs.

    Try explaining what made you fall asleep while riding / driving.
    Sorry officer I was listening to the cricket, YAWNNNN.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    A shelf for strapping things on top. It is really useful.

    My wife and I went to Wales with her bag in the top box and my Ortleib waterproof bag strapped to the top. No alu boxes made for easy filtering.

    It is a genuine Givi add-on.
