    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Not had my two pennies worth for a while - but the helmet issue has always caught my attention - I guess i don't wear one for comfort and vanity reasons - and to be honest - I'd' have had bought a 125 cc bike for commuting rather then my easyglider if helmets were compulsory on ebikes.

    Does anyone ride in the rain because they have to?

    Hi Mandy Commiserations, Got pretty soaked myself on Tuesday - my commute is 8 miles each way - but my philosophy is just to wear the minimum - light waterproof jacket and shorts - and have an change of clothes waiting at work. I'm a pretty fussy glasses wearer too - but again - I rinse...

    Panasonic System Power Delivery Explanation

    Thanks for that Flecc - something to think about as I pedal Home tonight! A quick question? - on the Agatu review you included some graphs showing gradients covered - is there an easy way to produce these or was it a case of an OS map and a pencil?

    Gazelle Easyglider

    Did it! Well the test ride swung it and I've now got a brand new Gazelle Easyglider in my front porch. Had to transport it back via two trains and then a fairly painfull 1st ride up several hills from the train station. There's no doubt that it's a heavy (not so little) so'n'so but it got...
