Automatic e-bike control trial Made interesting reading, and into territory where I sense there will be some views, and possible concerns where, one day, it may lead.

I noticed THIS, to me new company venturing into e-bikes. Not least is its nice light weight of 16kgs, but the styling to my tastes lacks any "charm". I have never though realised a bike, "e" or otherwise needs AI, my mind and body quite quickly have "told" me how to select the gearing etc, the...

Sadly another fire fatality is attributed to charging an e-bike; LINK

Possibly I am running well behind the curve, but today I came across this venture that Livall are into. "Pikaboost" Brings back visions of a neighbour in the early 50s with their petrol powered device over their rear wheel. At least now the awful two stroke's pollution has gone, but what are...

Of interest as "cyclist" will be the Panorama programme on TV at 20:00 BBC1 tonight the 2nd Nov 2022 that focuses on this well-known issue to most of us. Just seen a "trailer" piece on Breakfast TV, so will be watching the programme tonight.

Not an e-bike but related and could cause us issues when these are so readily available. Or is it just me who thinks these will cause issues, and possibly harm? Their promo sheet said from the 19th inst. On that you need a magnifying glass to read it is illegal on highways, including roads...

Without going to gaiters I would like to preserve the exposed rods of my forks from corrosion, this being motivated by seeing a number of them looking sick so given no care, they can suffer. My thoughts are an occasional wipe over with an oily cloth, but that begs the question what sort of oil...

I live in Hampshire and have cycled all but the first handful of 70 + years, 50 + with my wife. To keep doing together what we love we have decided trying an electric bike could offset the weight of having to change to a step through from a lovely lightweight road bike. So that's what we have...
