Dumb..Dee...Dumb I have been to high end bike shops and I can afford the high end bikes. But my cheap mid range bike does what I want it to do . Maybe you didn`t fully understand the question?

This is a hard question. I paid less than a £1000 for my bike and batter it over country lanes and farm tracks all the time and it never lets me down. I don`t think I would pay more because I now know I can pay that price and get a bike that ticks all the boxes for me. Steve

I never have a problem and so I do not think it is the system. Steve

I did not listen to the broadcast but I would pay a lot of attention to what the lorry driver have to say. I drove lorries in the UK for many years, up to LGV1...or HGV1 as it was then. You can decorate the front of a lorry with mirrors, until it looks like a 1960s Vespa scooter and there...

I carry a couple of pairs of very thin surgical gloves for those messy occasions. I use Schwalbe Marathon tyre and tubes and cannot rcall the last time I had a puncture, years ago. It sounds like you have put the tube back in after turning it 90 degree. If you can take the tyre off and...

I think this should be also done for a battery guide. Batteries must cover 60% of the technical questions on here. It is the same questions time and time again. Steve

I find the velcro fastening ones to be a real pain to wear because they flap all over the place. Motorcycle vis vests always zip up which I find to be far more comfortable. I also have an Altura Night Vision cycling jacket which is first class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWT-FxvGkPU...

Isn`t it strange how we all know how dangerous bungees are and yet people still have accidents? I stopped using them a long time ago and now use thin webbing straps instead. They hold just as well if not better. I also use them to pack my motorbike when touring. No chance of taking my eye...

It has been a lovely weekend in Denmark. Sunshine all the time and more to come. It was -23 in my garden last night but had heated up to a balmy -13 for my ride today. Good job I wasn`t fishing because the sea is frozen solid. Nice ride but this cold just sucks the power from the battery...

Oil is always a iffy subject, regardless of what it is going to be used for and we will never agree on this. I use WD40 on my offroad motorbike and all my cycles and have found it works perfectly well and does not cause undue wear as it is often claimed. I find it does not pick up as much dirt...

We were down to -20 in my garden last night. We have had snow for a week but it was sunny all day today. I am not complaining. I love it when it is snowy and sunny. We usually start with snow at the end of October and so it is going to be a very short winter for us. Steve.

I totally agree with you Bob. But I would also like to say that most car drivers in Denmark are also cyclists and therefore have a better understanding of cylists and cycling. If they are not cyclists themselves then members of their families certainly are. I am sure people do not post things...

Very sad. We have it so much better over here in Denmark and in Germany and the Netherlands, I found this video recently and it appears to give a utopian view of cycling but this is actually what it is like cycling over here. You will see that the Dutch were in the same situation you...

Here are lots of ideas. Take your pick. Personally I like the shark. recumbent trike fairing - Google Search Steve

I can see what you are saying. The first problem is finding a "very small" petrol engine. That is going to be difficult. My second thought, and this is just a personal one, is that I use an electric bike instead of using a moped. This is in order to help save the enviroment. Strapping on a...

I have seen lots of motorbikes in Denmark and Germany with nonesense like that on them. The police over here are now cracking down hard on them. Steve

You can use it in the snow but give it a bit of a clean afterwards and take it easy on the throttle when you get to the slippy bits. It is about -7 over here in Denmark and we have had snow for about a week. Jannie rides her Compy the 10 mile round trip to work every day. She really likes the...
