I hate driving in the UK, too many cars for a small island. When you drive on the autoroutes in France you soon realise how overcrowded our roads really are. Also, as a generalisation i find bikes have much more acceptable in France on the roads and given more room when overtaken due to strict...

It's a pretend one for school runs :), but really good if you travel to the south of France with 3 teens. I'd never squish a bike as aways give sooooo much room.

I'm tempted to get one as was nearly killed one night last month when indicating right and a Mercedes driver decided he would try and take me out.

Wow! there's some real idiots out there, but pleased your safe anyway. I must put my go pro on bike as they are invaluable, after being cut up so many times on bike. I can't tell you how many times a day i see people not indicating, or there in the wrong lane. What kind of test are they...

Afraid, we'll have to disagree on this. IMHO and from past experience these variants make little or no difference to the average rider. My old high end road bike made very little difference to me vs a cat rider using that bike. Example. I know someone who works for schwalbe in Germany. They...

Lot's of good advise given here Chris, so can't really go wrong as a starter. Either way you will either be happy with your choice or like most of us changes tyres over the years until you decide which you prefer. Much is personal choice. Remember more choice leads to more confusion (marketing...

I can see the evil streak in this one :)

I get your point, but i'm afraid producing a gallon of fuel (petrol/diesel) is as polluting as a Tesla doing 20 miles using electricity, due to how electricity is produced. God, i better take the battery off my e-bike :)

Sold my nyon in favour of purion. Nice bit of kit but not good off road map wise and felt fragile for mtb.

Even Teslas do. When you think of where they source product from and how it eventually gets to plant for build, it may well be more polluting than a locally sourced and manufactured diesel car (few and far between). Flying for business / holidays / exports has massively increased and causes far...

Gordon, surprised your phone gps is working in that weather, don't forget your paper map :)

Question is do you really need a specific groupset for e-bikes, (this group of bikes now being huge, from tourers to downhill. Infact, do you need e-bike specific tyres etc etc. IMHO, this is marketing hogwash. I've had sram, but i'm sticking to my shimano xt groupset, served me well over the...

Yep, cassette price is a big put off on this groupset

Nice n solid bit of British engineering. :) Good thing, these are easy to refurbish i.e. strip down, get rid of rust, re-grease, paint (halfords auto paint) and put back together. If i can do it anyone can!. There's a bit of satisfaction in refurbishing something. Also, a balance in how far you...

Rescued last year, was very very rusty.

Izzy, Good luck and hope the battery is ok. Note it only has 6 months warranty of course. I'm maybe unlucky, as most of my purchases of cheaper Chinese products have materialised in a waste of money.

I personally voted to remain. Not because i'm a fan of the EU government, but felt it was easier to try and change the system when your sat round the table being proactive, and also i want stability for my children. Many of the older, i'm alright jack brigade voted leave. Anyway, the father in...

24mph average and only 8 miles is poor. It's either a very old 400w battery thats about to give up the ghost, or there's something wrong IMHO.

I bought a charge spoon and very happy with it. The more riding you do the less pain you will suffer.

Agree, but i think i'd still buy the branded one. Soundwave site he recommended have good customer service.
