    Indicator lights

    Puzzled On the wrist of an outstretched arm? I think you have got the wrong impression about the lights I am emailing about. These go on your wrist like a large watch, the LEDs blink when the arm is raised to signal a turn & go off when your hands go down to the handlebar. Derrick -...

In all my 55 years on/off cycling I have never seen them, to me the only tyre valves were Presta otherwise known as the French valve, or the Schreader. But now I can't understand why cycle makers still persist with...

    Panasonic Powered Calvin, Nein or Ja?

    Hope again Because of the bikes now using the Panasonic motor Giant can't maintain the fiction that bikes using this motor were to expensive to make, perhaps they might revert to it again? People like me could hope that Giant will offer motor/controller units as spares, for the LaFree ,at a...

    Full Kalkhoff Agutta test imminent

    Disabused When I bought my Lafree Twist (with a crossbar) in Dec. 2004 I was 64, imagining I was 30 years younger, I was soon disabused from this dream. The next bike will be a step-thru,either a Kalkhoff or the equivalent Raleigh, I will never buy a bike with a crossbar again! Derrick -...
