Under the heading 'other' and considerably lighter that the options already listed, don't forget the Pitlock skewers. Mine secure both wheels and the seat post. Having searched the internet high and low, they seem only to be defeated in a workshop using heavy tools.

Concerns that electronic cigarettes are dangerous, because of their alleged unregulated nature and because nicotine is a paralytic drug with toxic effects resulting from allegedly relatively low overdoses, may be allayed by some hard data. Nicotine is indeed a toxic substance. A single dose...

I started a little thread on this a couple of months ago: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/14254-spd-pedals-beginner-s-review.html

Welcome! You're not the only French person or resident here! Nice part of the world indeed. My own bike, a Moustache, is made some 100 miles to the north of you. Just next door, given the size of France!

How about the Moustache Lundi 26 Nuvinci ? Very solid, hub gears, stylish, battery under pannier rack, good range (400Wh battery). Negatives: price around £2650; weight 25.6kg. Moustache Bikes | Lundi 26 NUVINCI Note: I’m biased, I have a Moustache Samedi 9s.

Bonjour benMXrider! There are a number of members resident in France here. I chose the Moustache with the 250W Bosch motor, but they also have a 350W option; you may have seen some of them around. Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Just for info: the new French government has rescinded the requirement to carry a testing kit. I didn’t quite understand the reason; probably because it was instituted by the previous government.

What a brilliant find!

I agree. In addition, companies need a wider supportive culture in which to flourish. Ever since the war (the 2nd world war, for younger members!), most British investors have expected payback in less than three years. Most business people have been brought up in this culture. Bonus...

Just mind whom you're poking with that stick, ducky!

I think that us chaps, cognizant of the fact that far too few women ride ebikes, should do our duty to do everything we can to rectify this gender imbalance. This is why I make a point of addressing a particularly warm friendly smile towards every lady I pass. Other than from the odd grump, the...

What magnificent country in which to pedelec! Welcome!

You'll find loads of info here. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Welcome!

To survive on a motorbike you learn not to depend on the good sense or reaction of others. You should ride as if you’re invisible, observing and anticipating at all times. I’d only recommend dressing up in hi-vis to those cyclists who are not that way inclined; who, by the way, should never...

Couldn't quite get the controls to work, but saw enough to admire a proper cycle highway. Bravo the Dutch (again!)

What do e-cigs have in common with e-bikes? Well, they’re both about becoming and staying healthy; about having fun; and about being switched on!

Thanks for your review. I’m trying to imagine what it’s like cycling there. I rather like the idea of it though presumably it’s not a year round activity. Did I read you right: bikes actually get stolen in Reykjavik? Where do they get taken?

Welcome, Zombie! Come in from the cold! I also visited this forum many times before going pedelec. It indeed proved most helpful. Tell us which bike you’ve chosen and give us soon your first impressions!

Perverting the course of justice is a serious offence, descended from ancient Common Law. Treat it with respect! It doesn’t exist in France; even the notion is untranslatable!

Welcome! Your bike excites much debate! It will be good to hear about it. Enjoy!
