If that had been me, the smell would have kept the cat away.....

Sometimes get that way myself. Cycle down to North shields Ferry and cross the river to South Shields. Up through Jarrow and pick the Bowes incline railway route at Monkton then all the way to Tanfield Railway. Back down through Sunniside and the Teams to the river and along the river to home...

Not so much a pimped bike but one that has needed parts replaced apart form the 18t sprocket fitted pre delivery. 1. New 18t sprocket fitted by supplier - suits my riding style better on and off road. 2. New handlebar grips - ones supplied were damaged in transit and would twist under demanding...

I have been pondering over what type of clamp / bottle carrier I could fit to my Haibike which has no mounting fixings in the frame. I tried a clamp on type on the down post from the seat to the motor which I thought to be the best location on the bike but it was too bulky and held the water...

When I saw this I immediately thought - they cannot be legal http://ebike-mtb.com/en/first-look-haibike-sduro-hardfour-rx-and-life/ I am sure you have to be over fourteen years of age to ride an e-bike in the UK. Brilliant piece of kit though - no doubt some lucky lad/lass will find one in...

Looks something like what I need - thanks for the reply

Anyone using a handlebar mount for accessories? Are they any good and if so which would you recommend. I want to fit my new lights in front of the Bosch display that resides in the centre of the bar.

Yes, Yes, Yes - showrooms in the sixties had that very smell - you just took me back 50 years!! My father bought Anothony Newley's Sunbeam Rapier when I was a young lad and that stunck of leather - and class. I would roll back those years anytime - great times.

20 days later and no problems. These Schwalbe tyres are perfect for the riding I am doing at present and have given me a lot of confidence in the bike again - I really enjoying getting out and about on these tyres. They allow the bike to roll with confidence and behave themselves even a in a...

I have been keeping an eagle eye on the web for a bargain in the front light department for off road use and in preparation for the inevitable on set of the dark Autumn / Winter nights. I already have a cateye halogen bulb set from a few years back which was good in its day but is very bulky...
