Thanks for the heads-up. Nice write up. Already emailed it to a small business mate of mine.

This has come up on here several times (how to respond) and there have been several inventive comments over that that time that some offered as their favourite retorts that made me LOL, such as - When it's a bloke accusing you of cheating, my favourite was: "Ask them if they own an electric...

Nice little pro e-bike article in today's Guardian. Full honours go to Wisper in this article. In defence of the electric bicycle | Environment | The Guardian - The Guardian is supposed to be the newspaper for the more liberal-minded reader. So have a laugh at some of the more ignorant...

Yeah - I've just checked a couple of American sites who are running the same story and they too, have printed it verbatim. Sounds like Flecc has the right figure, and not Reuters! :D In the UK, for this year 2009, there are estimates of e-bike sales numbering in the region of 23,000 units -...

Caught the Edwardian bicycle programme by sheer accident last night (was more than ready to enjoy it, started off well with the 'most important invention mankind has ever come up with, but thereafter it lost its way and went on to become a wee bit pish though). Thanks for the heads-up on...

??? It's published by the Cycling Plus people, Frank. Or do you mean the Cyclescheme people hired Cycling Plus to print it for them? I looked inside and you can see the famous Cycling Plus mag logo there, (Britian's premier cycling monthly) proudly taking credit as the publisher - here it...

By coincidence I was in WHSmiths this lunchtime and happened to spot this - - A newly published one-off magazine called 'Ride To Work' with the strap-line: 'Ride to Work - The Essential Guide to Commuting' . It features regular bikes, folders and a tiny, tiny, reference almost as an...

Yes, and not only that, but you also have to take into account the different pressures each individual retailer is under just to survive in this credit-crunch induced recession - just to attract sales in the first place. For instance, I've just read today, that Harley Davidson are to lay off...

Ah, pleasing to see that my hard-earned reputation as the person most likely to offer the incorrect solution to a problem remains intact. :) Won't hurt it, besides it makes no odds as the Salisbury charger automatically shuts down once it detects the battery is fully charged anyway, so if you...

Abs N - Sounds like you're posting from work as you refer to 'not looking forward' to the journey home. (Edit: Yes, just re-read and you do start off by saying on the way to work). - You don't mention the state of the battery lights whilst the incident took place. So, I have to ask - was the...

What about this little baby then? Yep! You guessed - it's from the land famous for having more than it's fair share of lard asses, (reasonable too, at $40). Whereas the world famous Brooks and to a lesser-known extent the Rido, are both from here, the land of the pain-in-the-ar$es...

Your sitbones are too wide? LOL. No way! It's the saddle that's too narrow! (Unless you're female with the customary wide pelvic bones to contend with). Just what is your mate suggesting? That there's nothing wrong with the saddle - that you've got an unusually big ar$e??? - I know those...

This question is as old as, and has been asked of, I guess, ever since the invention of the bicycle. The short answer is that a bicycle saddle that one person finds satisfactory, is often compared by others, to an instrument of torture that could have been devised by Torquemada himself. If...

The derailleur fitted to the Salisbury is not up to the job for this range. In fact I found it a very poor mechanism as it stands regardless - the worst I've ever experienced. As mentioned above select a wide-range derailleur.

6 SPEED SHIMANO CADET MEGARANGE FREEWHEEL 13-34 They're still available brand new (just checked) from Edinburgh Cycles. In fact they've gone down in price! Last year I paid £9.95 - this year they're about 20p less. I did post on here at the time they were available - I called in at one of...
