June has come around quickly -- the days are getting longer, though annoyingly not much warmer -- and that means National Bike Week has snuck up on us. The week-long celebration of all things bicycle-related kicked off at the weekend, and there are loads of goings-on take advantage of.

From 14 to 22 June, Bike Week events will be getting people out and about and away from their cars. Being a big fan of pedal power myself, I picked out five things that you can do to make the most out of the next few days.

Reason 1:
Get your kids involved -- on Friday 20 June 2008 Chester Zoo is holding its Midsummer Cycle. From 6:30-8:00pm you can see the giraffes, elephants, flamingos and even gnus as you cycle round the zoo's grounds -- and a fish-and-chips supper is included in the £12 ticket.

I love my gadgets and have been using Sports Tracker on my new Nokia.

Seeing the photo on page two here, however, I have to recommend my favourite bicycle gadget which does the same thing on old skool technology -- a bell with a compass built into it. I think mine cost a tenner. Here's a product page with a similar one:

Umm, you've got me there. I've no idea but the answer is almost certainly yes. I'll check on the way home now.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
