    such a thing as

    an internal gear hub with integrated motor, googling seems to come up with lots of variations on geared motors which i'm sure is not the same thing. just wondered if there was a kit that had motor and gears in one unit.

    cycling getting harder

    i wasn't having a go at 'real' cyclists or trying to infer that ebikers are not real, just couldn't think of another name for non electric cyclists, just sayin i sometimes feel a little guilty as it's so easy on an ebike when riding home from work in wind and rain and you see the effort put in...

    cycling getting harder

    i'm not complaining about the aching legs, just wondered if others had same experience. i find the assist is great at lights and hills, i'm just surprised at how quickly i'm out of assist on the flat. it's hard trying to relax and go slower even though it's easier on the legs. anybody ever...

    cycling getting harder

    had my bike for over a month now and it seems that it's getting harder to peddle. i'm getting to and from work faster each day but my legs are aching more now than they did when i first started. i'm almost sure it's because i'm out of assist a lot more now. have other people experienced this.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you are probably right in respect that non of the politicians will be motivated to improve the situation of the public, just their own situations. i have a vote, which many people around the world don't have, so i will use it, even though in my opinion theres not much to choose between any...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    don't understand your point that we have a dictator, thought the conservatives were voted in. whenever has anyone thought that there is a guarantee in politics. i think you underestimate people in thinking we believe the promises and lies of all the parties and press. we vote in the hope that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    i don't feel under the thumb, the country is governed by an elected party. i will turn to the labour party as usual, if i feel that the government is not working hard enough,(i would vote labour even if things were looking good) as i hope the rest of the country would, even if it's lib dem...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    i don't trust any politicians but i have to vote, be it political parties or in the referendum, as to not do would make me feel unable to have an opinion on these matters. as you say 'the very people who got me into this situation' may well have been the conservatives, although things still...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the bit ' it is obvious we need to radically improve our situation' sums up my decision to vote leave, rather than the slow decline of staying in.

    short list

    i did have a look at your bikes and liked the one that can have the nuvinci hub. although i am so lazy about maintenance that the carbon belt was a big plus for me. i can live with the limitations of the gtech, i imagine that gtech is aiming their product at people like me, who have no idea...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    how do you know that its a 'fact' that brexit voters threw out who they voted for pre brexit. perhaps the people who voted remain and those who didn't bother to vote at all, actually got up and participated this time. you assume that brexit voters have now changed their minds, as i said...

    you tell me, as i can only assume that political party's are not offering or delivering what people want.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    people voting for one party, that party not delivering, people then vote for a different party, that party not delivering, and so on. it might not seem logical how people can change their vote from one extreme to another. gone are the days of the SRSY.
