I've been asked if I wanted to do the coast to coast by my brother (what he can do I can do better) haha I'm either going to buy a new bike or borrow his spare bike  But I need help on what I'll be needing or any advice at all that'll help. I've been told padded shorts  he's done it before so he'll keep me right as well |

I'd suggest either a hybrid or a 29er. Speak to Paul mate, he'll keep you right.

As Dunc says, I've done the Sustrans route (road route) a couple of times and Reivers route which is a bit longer and goes via Kielder, so could help you on those routes, if your doing it mainly off road, then as said before Paul's yer man. Oh that reminds me...... I've got a nice Specialized Tri-cross Sport, 54" medium size frame (hybrid type bike) looking for a new home at a very reasonable price  |
