    "Helmets are required for E-Bikes"

    Get a grip. Will you sign a waiver that if you get hurt doing anything then you will pay the bill yourself? Why do you want things made compulsory? You've been spoonfed health and safety by the last Labour Government so much that you actually believe it. How has the human race survived so long.

    "Helmets are required for E-Bikes"

    I pay for my own NI thanks. Do you take EVERY precaution to stop yourself from having an accident? Velcro shoes and Hi viz when you leave the house? Do you ALWAYS wear safety glasses when strimming the lawn? Why am I stupid for making my own choices in life? The stupid people are those who want...

    "Helmets are required for E-Bikes"

    Are you being serious? If so, I think the government meddle too much into peoples affairs. If they make helmets compulsory what's to stop them making hi viz lycra compulsory. What about makig hi viz compulsory for pedestrians as well? Where would you stop? Why can't I, as an adult, make my own...

    Does anyone make money out of me?

    I don't understand this post. Since when was making a money something terrible? I don't know how much is made from these adverts but I'd bet it isn't 'sit back in the sun and do nothing' money. Why do you describe it as leaching from you? If you think it's easy and cheap to run a site like...

    "Helmets are required for E-Bikes"

    Reading your article, it seems that some people are wanting helmets to be made a legal requirement. Not quite what you say in your title is it. I hope it NEVER becomes a legal requirement in this country.

    SportsHQ 20% discount

    It's only a 17" frame. I had a bigger frame than that when I was 8 years old. Why do companies today make such small bikes for adults?

    Lightweight (portable) rain covers

    My local Tesco has a bike cover which fits a bike up to 192cm long. It comes in a small packet I can't remember the price but it was about £5 or so.

    Controller Problem I think?

    Why waste time with Ebay. You'll get a multimeter from Screwfix a lot quicker and it will only cost you £10

    Radio 4 Join the Bike Helmet Debate

    Whatever happend to a person's freedom to choose? Why are some on here seemingly campaigning for helmets to be made compulsory? Why don't we campaign to get ALL cyclists to wear leather jackets and trousers, then there will be even less problems if they're involved in an accident. Why don't we...

    Radio 4 Join the Bike Helmet Debate

    Nothing in 'origin of the species' says you will die if you do not take all safety precautions. If it did, all cyclists would have died out since bikes were around before helmets were invented. Bikes would have therefore been banned by all governments. The point I was trying to make is...

    Radio 4 Join the Bike Helmet Debate

    I'm not too sure what Darwin has to do with wearing a helmet. He's very often mis-quoted on forums. It's each person's personal choice on whether to wear a helmet or not.

    Illegal Bikes

    Which make of bike has the 700watt peak motor? I ask, since I'm looking for an ebike and live in a VERY hilly area. OK I live up a hill and the only way out is down so, to get home it's a fair old climb. I don't particulary need a HUGE range as I've only got a 5 mile trip down to work and a 5...

    Is the Alien Aurora a beast as Jim at Alien says???

    I realise I'm coming to this thread a little while after you last posted but I was looking at one of these alien auroras today. I have a question for you if I may. Is it noisy when riding? Also, now you've had it for a wee while. Is it still as good as your first imprsssions?
