    Dog attacks.

    We've had a few over the past year or so. They've all been forgiven by both me and my extremely tolerant dog, who can fight like a banshee when he's pushed to it. Some, are more humorous than others. This one happened this morning. :)

    Pete's freego.

    I thought "Hey that guy ahead isn't pedalling. Let's have some fun!" :) Me, "Is that an ebike mate?" :rolleyes: Pete, thinking I was just another abusive cyclist, "Yes it is, and I can do this"... (tries to zoom off ahead). Me, "So can I"... ZOOOOM! Me, slowing down.. Pete, "Yeah but mine...

    Ebikes hill climb challenge.

    We got jealous of Eddie's alpine shots. So we decided to go out on the piste ourselves and do a hill climb challenge. :)

    Our ebike race.

    He's 30 years younger than me. So, I thought I'd better give him a head-start! Especially as he's on a puny 250w. :D There's a camera on the handlebars of each bike. I've chopped the footage together. You'll work it out I'm sure. :)

    New bike test ride video.

    I bought a great little kit bike off 'STEVEMANFA' yesterday. It's much better than I could have expected. Steve has a few bikes and has built me a good one in this. The family are queuing up to have a go on it now! :D You can put it into high definition via the little wheel at the bottom right...

    Raising the bar

    I got this in the post today. Sick squid (£6) from China. It seems quite strong and 'well made' at first glance. It's done a great job of raising up the bars. It's intended purpose, straightening my back for a more comfortable seating and riding position. It was pretty solid on a brief test...

    Talk torque please.

    Pretend that you're answering someone that doesn't know much about such things please. :D 'Torque' - a force that tends to cause rotation. Reading here, that 'DD' (Direct drive) motors don't have as much torque as others interested me. I have a DD motor and I thought that it did ok up the...

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    Reliability, longevity, entry level parts, performance, resale values and no pedals. Are they really worth spending as much on, as you might do, when buying a decent used car? What really makes these bikes worth £1k, £2k, £3k or even £5k plus?

    E-joring

    With bike-jor, ski-jor and scooter-joring sports the dog(s) are attached to the bike by bungee lead and harness. They run and pull whatever they're attached to and the rider pedals or assists in propelling the vehicle forward. Everyone that does this sport will ultimately crash at some point. On...

    eMTB Tyre recommendation request please.

    As per the title folks. Size 26". 2.3 inches wide or thereabouts preferred. I would ask for advice on any relatively wide and knobbly tyre as I use the bike 'off road' a lot. I use slime inner tubes. Much obliged. :)

    Night riding

    If you need a good bike light, I recommend this one. It has 3 levels of light, all of which are very bright, and a flash function too. It last for well over 3 hours on the highest level. I gave it a 6 mile test last night on paths and tracks. I flicked through the light functions in the video...
