    Cyclist hospitalised after riding across live rail

    Was struck by lightning in the Swiss Alps at 12000ft. Reckon I survived because my clothing was soaking wet, no goretex in them days!

    Giant E2 full sus

    Yeah noticed arcing on the battery terminals last week. So after a couple of hours of finicky soldering this morning have got it working again. However still not convinced that it is robust enough for off-road use. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
