Update: If you're looking to race rather than commute, take a look at our guide to cyclocross bikes.
Cyclocross bikes have to cope with pretty specific demands placed on them in their discipline. The dropped handlebars and 700c tyres means they're extremely fast, whilst the knobbly tyres, strong brakes and better frame clearance (preventing mud from stopping play), mean that they can maintain that speed over mixed terrain.
They can go where road bikes can't, and at a speed mountain bikes can only dream of.
Hardly surprising then that they've been picked up by many astute commuters as the perfect cycle to work bike. Able to cope with a daily battering far better than most road bikes and quicker than a mountain bike on all but the most technical terrain (sadly most commutes don't include any rock gardens or sudden drop offs), cyclocross bikes are probably the ideal jack of all trades bike that would suit most cyclists on their ride to work, most of the time.
So in the spirit of the season, we're picking our five favourite cyclocross commuters. Since we want our bikes to be suitable for cycling to work, we're keeping them underneath the magic thousand pound mark (making them available on most cycle to work schemes).

What to look for in a winter cycling jersey? How about high wicking, windproof, shower resistant, good insulation and ventilation for a start. Oh, and since they'll likely be a top layer a lot of the time they've got to look sharp too.
Cyclists are picky beasts and we're picky cyclists! We've scoured the cycling world to pick our favourite mountain bike and road winter jerseys.

A month late (thanks again e-mail gremlins!), but better late than never and a chance for us to relive the what must have been both the wettest weekend of and most aptly named event of the year: Mens Fitness Dirty Weekend.
Over to Ryan Evans. Course designer, Tredz sponsored rider and one of the fastest men we know on a mountain bike (especially in galoshes and walking boots...).

The new range of Specialized Globe bikes caused something of a stir when the pictures and specs were first released. With good reason. They looked drop dead gorgeous.
