    Dawes Boost Suburbia

    Juicy you need to be here https://cycle2work.secure.force.com/siteadvicecentrebrand so that the Gov scheme members can get to you. I like the look of the XR16 myself, quite a powerful bike I would think but it needs to be £1000. I should clarify, the scheme run by the NHS and others who use...

    Dawes Boost Suburbia

    Hello, popped in again for a view on the Dawes Boost Suburbia at £999. Dawes Cycles - Boost Suburbia Gents Cycle2Work scheme is on again and I think it's between this and a Powabyke 24 for a colleague who has asked for some advice. It's been a while since my Mistral went to a new home...

    Home Build - Next Gen

    Thought this may interest forum members. TREXA - READY. SET. BUILD. I reckon I could weld a cycle frame onto that.

    PiCycle

    Searched the forum and I don't think this company has come up before. The design is fantastic as you'll see and the designer, despite his annoying accent, seems to know what he's doing. I'm glad there was no 'Add To Cart' button. PiMobility

    Sting operation sees stolen electric bike returned to owner

    I'm still hanging around the forum despite being without an electric bike. I have daily hands on and supervisory experience of policing stretching from the mid 80's to the present which includes some unique specialism and the basics of throwing offensive drunks into the cells at weekends...

    Cytronex bike on Gadget Show Tonight

    That was a great bit of TV and a fantastic ad for electric bikes. It was a cold March morning when a lycra clad foe on a lightweight Trek road bike was passed by an Aldi clad fool on a Mistral commuter up the 'hill of death' on my daily ride. Currently I remain powered only by bananas and...

    CNN Report On Electric Bikes

    Will e-bikes be the new 'commuter cool'? - CNN.com That guy on the bike is a big unit and with the trailer attached his Optibike is certainly working hard. Having had a look around the Optibike website, I think I want one.

    Wisper Launch Carbon XC Tourer

    I am somewhat puzzled by the choice of a carbon fibre frame for a XC Tourer. The weight saving over alloy must be minimal and the cost must be much greater. Saving the weight on the frame seems to make no sense when the bike appears then to be fitted with cheap and likely heavy front...

    ALDI - Winter Cycling Deals

    I may be a bit of a fraud (no electric bike and no SEAT Altea anymore) but you still need to know if great deals are to be had. I can vouch for the SPD shoes, winter trousers and socks, still using mine a year later, great VFM, overshoes are poor, cap is ok. Think I'll get another pair of...
