There was a bit more in "The Times" today, and he comes across as a nice bloke that with hindsight made a few mistakes that have ending up potentially costing him a lot of money. The other side paid for quality legal representation from the off and he started by defending himself and making...

I had my first swim in the sea this year in Devon, lovely sunny day so I thought however cold it was I would be able to warm up when I got out, blimey, it was cold, cold, cold, I did not last long, 15 minutes maybe 20, but I was right, I did warm up once I got out. No wet suit, loads of older...

I had a very similar situation when a sixth form girl student absorbed by her phone stepped out from the curb in front of me with the only difference being that my shout, brake and slight swerve, also to the left like the guy in the newspaper report meant I missed her, but only just, and as I...

On the face of it this cyclist appears a little hard done by.

Cars are the same. Does it really matter? Now you know what the disparity is you can allow for it.

In their summer sale and supposed to have an 8 speed hub gear option. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Electric-Bikes-UK-Dealer/Hybrid-Town-Trekking-eBikes/Raleigh-Motus-Grand-Tour-Low-Step?sort=p.price&order=ASC Though it is not metioned and may not be an option on the sale bike. It is on this...

Saw a small story about tax breaks to steer us to e-bikes in The Sunday Times. Worth 32% for basic tax payers and 42% for higher. Also proposing to sweep away £1000 limit on value of bikes eligible with no limit for e-bikes. Might make my fantasy Reise and Muller top of the range Delite...

Do you mean that the bearings are wearing and play has developed with your crank arms. Try your dealer who might be able to help. Alternativley although I have no personal experience of him this guy may be offering the type of service you need...

Back in 2015 I bought an entry level Haibike Yamaha that has proved great with the odd bump in the road to overcome. It was the first year of the Yamaha motor being available on the Haibike and mine was the cheapest one £1750 back then. My very long record of ownership is here...

Sounds as simple as the magnet on the spoke might have got knocked. Worth checking.

Assuming your chain line is OK and there is no underlying problems with chain line geometry, a narrow wide chain ring of the right size and compatible bolt holes would stop your chain coming off and be very hard wearing as well. I fitted a Garbaruk chain ring to my Haibike sDuro Yamaha In Feb...

I think the best way to treat these batteries if you are doing a regular commute is to charge the battery back to full before the next trip to work even if the battery can manage a couple of trips as these batteries do not like to be regularly discharged near to empty. I do a regular commute to...

Drive train wear on a crank drive used off road is one of those regular ongoing costs. I use mine to commute to work off road and then back on the road using a 9 speed Haibike Yamaha. I have gone the other way using cheap shimano rear cassettes, 12 to 36 teeth (Now 12.95 delivered from Amazon)...

Does the lake get warm enough to swim? Looks a lovely area to ride. Beautiful view by the lakeside and also from the mountain top in the picture above.

The new Bosch active line plus motor with a 500wh battery paired together on a fair few different makes of ebike seems to provide the longest range of all the crank drive motors currently available but is not the most powerful. The good news is this battery and motor can be found together at...

Not working today so what better way to relax than ride one of my favourite local circuits up and down the North Downs and including St Marthas Church and Blackheath war memorial in Surrey. No motor on this bike but I thought you would forgive me and enjoy the pictures. Bench by the Blackheath...

When I bought my first electric bike, an Oxygen Emate City from 50 cycles in Richmond I test road a few of the Panasonic Kalkhoff's as well as the Oxygen in Richmond Park and was actually not that impressed by the standard 250w ones, (felt a bit flat), but did take out a 350w Pro Connect S which...

Hi Deere John, I bought this bike in March 2015, specifically to ride to work and back using some nice off road routes, and that it what it has done. The off road routes vary from gentle tracks to some more challenging bits that I love, but all in beautiful countryside away from cars. Usually...

My going to the shops bike works well but looks old and tatty with the battery behind the seat. I use a good D lock and tend to lock my bike outside whichever shop I am visiting, returning to it as soon as I have completed my task and then onto the next shop, to cycle back home at the end. I...

Nice morning ride to work setting off at about 6:45AM. Time pressure meant cutting out one of my single track loops to save a couple of miles but there was still plenty to enjoy in my 12 mile journey. I have broken through the 11,000 mile barrier, having now ridden 11,058. The free wheel on...
