    How best to deal with bad drivers?

    Part of my daily journey is on a 60mph road which a lot of lorries and other HGV's use. There's no path either. I've been riding on it since May and today encountered my first problem. A HGV driven by a lobotomised gibbon comes behind me and after a short while paps his horn. He then does it...

    So who got the Aldi deals?

    Aldi has a load of cyclist stuff this week. I got some nice thermal gloves and socks, didn't like the jackets and other layers though. Possibly the best purchase is a pair of lights. Built in rechargeable batteries via USB. Genuine CREE LED's. With the front light, even on the dimmest setting...

    Which scenario drains the most battery?

    So there's a steep hill coming up. 1. You put it on a low assist (1-2) and get pedalling, but at this assist level, even with pedalling you can't get the bike up to 15mph so the motor is working fully until you reach the peak. 2. You put it on the highest assist, with the same pedalling effort...

    Aftermarket skid plate thing?

    Since on a lot of hub bikes, the entire right side is a weak point. Like if you drop the bike on the right side, the derailleur gets bent but more importantly the wire can get severed to the motor. So i was wondering does such a thing exist as a metal skid plate or crash bung which can be bolted...

    Cycle insurance?

    Do most of you use it? In the fine print there does seem to be quite a few sentences which seem to be 'get out of paying' clauses. Cheapest I can find is about £70 a year though which isn't too bad. Are there any companies in particular worth using?

    How do people get such long range?

    I've been reading a lot of reviews on bikes and it seems some people quote very impressive range on bikes with relatively small batteries. For example a few people state miles of around 40-70 on the Crossfire E which only has an 11ah battery. Are these individuals just very lightweight and fit...

    What are you using for security and luggage?

    Title. What do you use to keep your expensive machine secure? Locks/alarms etc. And could anyone recommend a good set of panniers and a backpack. Maybe a seat post mounted rack as well. Thanks
