    Maybe it was the dead cat they were examining? Steve

    ....but you can only ride one at a time!

    I have passed a place in Denmark which surpasses that place by quite a way but I cannot recall where it was. I did not even realise that it was piles of old bikes until I was right on top of it as it just looked like a house as I rode up to it. The pile out front was literally the size of a...

    Erm ... are they sure about that?

    Now everything is made in China and Tiawan, and I don`t just mean electric bikes, I mean all sorts of products. I am sure there must be a vacant position out there somewhere for an "English instructions correction person", or something titled along those lines. I say this because so many...

    The Times launches a campaign to improve the safety of cycling

    This article is just full of sentimentality and I hope that if they do launch a campaign that it is far more factual and to the point than this article. I cannot see what Marys writing style and quirky dress sense has anything to do with making the roads more safe for cyclists. Mary may have...

    100miles on

    I actually managed to get my road bike out for three days last week. It was dry and sunny and not too cold. It was good not to have electric for a while. It made me feel that Spring may be on the way. We are now back to a foot of snow and I have pulled a tendon in my ankle and so I will not be...

    Olympic Venue bike ban

    A bike frame packed with explosives would make a great bomb. I was an Royal Engineer for 12 years (not EOD) and it would be simple for anyone with even a little explosives knowledge to set the bike up. I can see why they are banned. Roller blades...spectacular suicide bomber maybe? An...

    Cardan Electric bike?

    I ride 2 motorbikes. One has a chain and the other has a cardan shaft. Maintaing the shaft bike is so much easier and cheaper than the train. I have seen cardan shaft cycles and just wanted to know if there are any cardan shaft electric bikes? Would there be any technical reasons why a...

    Canopy anyone?

    I know a couple who are travelling around the world on their Moto Guzzi at the moment. They have rigged a canopy on their motorbike and cannot speak highly enough of it. They like it so much not because it keeps the rain off them but because it keeps the sun off them. Kitchenman...I...

    Camera bike mount.

    I think you still need to get the mount off the bike and onto the helmet unless you are using a GoProHero camera. When the mount is on the bike it takes all the vibration from the road and even though it looks passable on a Youtube screen when you enlarge it to a TV screen it shakes...

    TONARO on Ebay

    It looks like a version of the Tonaro. They did make them in yellow as I have seen quite a few on the net. Tonaros are made under different trade names all over the world. The transfers are put on over the paint and not under the topcoat. They are simple to remove with a hot air gun. The...

    What do you call your bike?

    I don`t call my electric bike anything but I do talk to it. When getting it out of the shed I say things like "Come out of there you big heavy begger". I have 2 motorbikes and they are called Big Red and Little Red. Steve

    Radio Prog Alert!

    I saw this on Youtube a few weeks ago. The cyclist was one of these guys who you would love to get hold of and shove your bike pump where the sun does not shine. The jist of the story was that the police officer wanted to give him a fixed penalty ticket for jumping a red light and the cyclist...

    Weight versus cost.

    I think there is more to it than just weight. There are also the components that go up to making the bike. I cannot see a manufacturer with any business sense putting cheap Tiawanese components on a carbon bike. It would make it nice to carry up the stairs but useless to ride. Steve
