    Motorist apology

    No doubt, a cougar. Those 5 years of cycling have not been wasted. ;)

    A bit of topic but I would REALLY value your advice.

    There's a local chap with a trike of a similar design to the one that Mussels posted. It's a tad more sporty looking with 27" wheels, drops, thin tyres and no mudguards but, yes, that is the sort of image I had in mind. I'm genuinely impressed with Prowler and the way you've kitted him(?)...

    Could someone please explain 5

    Yes I've had a fair few soakings this year. Usually though when I haven't bothered to check. I've noticed of late the forecast can change significantly overnight. Couple of months ago I thought I was cursed since it always seemed to start raining just before I left work regardless off the...

    Yes, just Googled it. I always like to checkout new stuff. Just copy and paste the detail into the google search box. If you click on images rather than web you can also see any photos that have been found. I think it's how I originally found this forum.

    There is no technology. It's all done with pine cones, seaweed, squirrels tails arthritic joints and fields of cows srategically positioned throughout the country.

    Could someone please explain 4?

    Flecc & Tillson have nailed it. At last I've seen the light... I'm cheating. Great fun. I was most definately cheating when I overtook a couple of sporty cyclists uphill last night. Ahhh the power of the Boost button. So that's the reason I don't wear lycra.

    A bit of topic but I would REALLY value your advice.

    I think I'd have problems pushing a non electric trike at 15 mph for more than a minute. 11 MPH sounds very reasonable. I understood trikes to be much heavier than bikes with additional resistance for the extra wheel. Any exercise is a plus. The fags have to go - I'm talking to myself here...

    Red Light Jumping - Crack Down

    Yes, I've seen the same. It's not uncommon. I've also seen a bloke shaving while driving. Not to mention a driver and passenger watching a fair a sized DVD screen positioned above the front windscreen.

    Emotion Sport Max +

    Thanks Harry. That really is a most interesting bike. I guess you'll be looking forward to a bit less maintenance as well given the disc brakes. What's the ride like in terms of comfort?

    Gocycle review in The Telegraph

    Personally I'd much rather spend my money on Harrys bike - the Emotion Sport Max+. Having checked the bike out on the onbike site I think it looks great: http://www.onbike.co.uk/e-motion-+sport-max-plus.html I'd also be most interested in your experiences when you have time Harry. I hope...

    Help - Police impound bike

    Big thumbs up for co-op croissants here. Big yawn regarding the chances of being nabbed by the rozzers for exceeding the speed limit on a pedelec.

    The perfect road bike combination..

    eTim, Good to hear you're still enjoying those marvellous bikes. No wonder you're losing weight if you throwing in some 40 mile commutes. I might be wrong here but I suspect you're the only one with a road bike combination.. I've got the hybrid and folder combination. I love them both. Mind...
