Struggling to make it over those hump day blahs? Let this mid-week speedlink get you back on track. Starting things off, Tara Jensen offers her review of Pedalheads.

And finally, if you’re thinking of taking the family somewhere, you might want to consult with Jim Coulson first. He’s got some handy tips on how to save money when going on a family holiday. Planning ahead so you don’t pay for overpriced supplies is a good start. Going to less popular destinations is good too.
