I call my wife a cheat when we go for a ride, me on my conventional bike, she on her electric, she just laughs at me as I try to grab her for a free lift up the hills :cool:

As you can see from this history of Mac malware, it is a slowly growing issue, but nothing like it is for Windows, it's no surprise that you don't find anything, but it's best to be safe than sorry: History of Mac malware: 1982 – 2011 | Naked Security

No disrespect to yourself, but I wish traders on this forum would drop this piece of marketing guff. De-restricting an ebike does NOT make it legal for use off road, it would still be illegally used unless it was used on private land. I'm starting to get pedantic aren't I? It's not as if you...

Welcome to the forum, you need to state your intended use, distances involved, requirement for commuting, utility, sport or enjoyment, budget and how you will store and transport the bike (carrying up stairs, garage, van, car etc). Then we will have a better idea of your requirements and could...

Hi Tony, As Flecc has mentioned, the Haibike is a good choice for off-road work. In a nutshell, it will handle any terrain that you can handle, just like any non-powered mountain bike will. It will even do jumps in a jump park, if that is your bag (4-5 foot of air is all my brain can handle)...

For info: Just some of the latest info for the latest known threat to Apple Mac OSX users: Apple criticised for slow response to Flashback Trojan Contains detail on how to check your machine and manually remove the Trojan if found.

What a cracking idea !

I'm not really aware of what has been going on, but let me guess, is this anything to do with the endless discussion about the use of ebikes that are not classed as pedelecs (I can't use the word illegal bike, as that may not be strictly true if the owner has an electric bike that is being used...

I'm guessing the driver initially thought they could get round in time, under/over estimated the various speeds, should have slowed and allowed the bike to continue first but was under pressure from the following vehicle, panicked and turned left anyway taking as wide berth as he/she knew the...

I'm not bothered what people do with their illegal bikes, on or off-road, it's their own business, their own look-out, I run an illegal bike myself with a 190rpm powered Cytronex, taking it to a mind numbing 18mph! I only post for the benefit of the forum, so that the 'off-road' label is...

I can see several revolutions in the making: 1. We will all type to the same standard 2. More of the UK population will wake up to electric bikes and get pedalling 3. I'll stop making lists Or maybe none of the above will happen! I would like to know what we are going to do about the supposed...

I can only recommend the Haibike, I'm sure the Swiss Flyer X will do the same job, you've got remember that an electric mountain bike is just a mountain bike with power assist, you are still limited by terrain and technical skill! Without getting too pedantic, taking a technically illegal leccy...

Shush, don't mention that major benefit too loudly, otherwise you might have the forum do-gooders hounding you about breaking the law or riding whilst drunk or something !!

I think that introducing a registration scheme may potentially increase the number of bikes stolen. Thieves are innovative they will find a way of profiting from stolen bikes whether registered or not, those 'responsible' end buyers will go for a bargain before being strictly legal, let's take...

It annoys me that my car costs me zero tax and my motorbike costs £76! I should be reimbursed for my motorbike based on that logic.
