Not a cyclocross bike, not even a gravel racer – after all there’s not a great deal of gravel road to be found in the UK – but something a bit like both but with added fat tyre bounciness. I’m calling it a Byway Bosher.

£850 from Evans Cycles Luminous green, slack geometry, flared bars, full hydraulic braking, 1 x 10 bar end shifter set up from SRAM and big fat 40mm tyres, I’m expecting this go-anywhere-do-anything bike to be a lot of laughs.
