Most of these 'End of line bikes' are on sale in batches for over a year! As for support I had no difficulty getting the local bike shop to agree to service them. After the guarantee runs out you will have to buy spares anyway. One of the questions a review might answer is about the prospects of...

I was wondering if anyone had any plans to review the bikes being offered by Idealworld. These are typically E-Life but they are also doing some Dorchester and Viking bikes. It strikes me that these bikes are probably the most accessible ones for new enthusiasts to see and buy and while not...

The other place did put me in a yard round the back, but the bike was some sort of conversion that I could barely adjust to fit me. I am average size, 5 fott ten inch high with a 31 inch inside leg. It seemed to have two speeds fast & too b***y fast and was heavy enough to preclude riding...

Hi thanks for the prompt reply. I normally content myself with walking round Houghton & Stockbridge, Had a brief visit to a bike shop in Southampton but no time toi test anything. One of my concerns is that I would like to do some test rides. Last time I was on a bike was as a relief postman...

Hi I am Paul and as the title suggests I am a confirmed car user and ex-AA Engineer based in Hampshire, In fact right next to the Test Way... Because of this I started thinking about pushbikes for the first time in about forty years as I can get about on public cycleways well away from roads...
