    Feedback sought for Pedelecs site update

    Could we have a seperate section for batteries? A large section of questions are related to this subject but seem to get lumped in with everything else. Steve

    Latest cycle helmets

    I am assuming by the demo that people only get knocked off bikes in the winter. Or do they have a summer version as well ;Ø) steve

    Latest cycle helmets

    Can we also ban words like: Battery Oil Red Light jumping. I have already taken the word T???RO out of my vocabulary on here because I know it brings up all those jealous feelings in those who are not lucky enough to have one. Helmets: When I ride my road bike I wear a helmet...

    Latest cycle helmets

    Personally, I think helmets should be a banned topic. Regardless of your own view on them, you are never going to convince the other side. And why should you try. Some of us do not want saving. The helmet debate causes more wars than religion and politics on cycling forums. It does not...

    Other Cyclists. Where have all the manners gone?

    I watched the news in Denmark tonight. A young lady in Copenhagen nagged on for 5 minutes telling us all how crap and inconsiderate car drivers are. At the end of the interview she stuffed her i Pod ear plugs into her ears and turned it on and then headed off, only to turn right at the traffic...

    Now this might be worth keeping an eye on....

    How did we know the past highest bidder had a history of only bidding on the bike sellers items. I do not know where to look to find that type of information out. For him to retract his bid I assume he would have needed permission from the seller? As it stands now I would not be surprised for...

    Now this might be worth keeping an eye on....

    I am still a little confused and hope someone can help. I can see O+++S (444) was the top bidder and I can also see that he usually bids on wallets and jumpers, the kind of things the seller usually sells. The jump to electric bikes is unusual both for the seller and O+++S(444) I can also see...

    Courts applying laws incorrectly against e-bike owners?

    Does the fact that you don`t need pedals to ride an electric bike mean anything. Plus if these offences were close to each other it does imply that he had the pedals and a means of attaching them again. In which case should he have not been charged with going equipped to steal as well ;Ø) Steve

    A comfortable saddle

    Lets not go down the Brooks line again. John has made a point of telling us he is an OAP. I am sure he does not want to spend 2 years breaking a Brooks saddle in. I use one and I love it....at last. But it took a long time to get to this stage. I would suggest a more modern, commercial...

    Article in Sunday Times, ingear, cycledguy

    Andys..I disagree with you...a bit. There are no unsuitable riders for electric bikes, young or older. What they need to do is test them with a broad range of riders to get a true idea of what they are like. I don`t need an electric bike and I ride 22km to work each day. I have mine...

    Cadence and cramp - warning

    Do you know what your cadence was before you stepped it up to 80? It is ok saying 80 is average but average for who? A good club rider, a weekend hacker. I would rest a while and then make 90 as your average for a while and build up gently. The fact that your last 2 commutes have been...

    Isn't it time we had a standard to compare the ranges claimed?

    You would need to have the same rider, riding the same route, with the same weather conditions.....and frame of mind. On different bikes. Any volunteers? Steve
