This micro review is based on about 1 hour of riding and about 17 miles. A friend of mine has recently fitted a front wheel EZee kit to his bike (Giant Escape R8). He had previously owned a Panasonic crank driven Giant Lafree, sold that about 4 years ago, bought the Escape R8 and used that...

These stands are very good and will hold bikes up to 30 Kg. Get in there early, people tend to buy them up to re-sell on eBay. Link

I saw this British Cycling Membership on Hot Uk Deals and at £11.60 thought that it may be of interest. Link here Amongst other things, it gives you personal accident insurance, £10M third party insurance, 10% off all Halfords purchases, 12% off the British Cycling Wiggle Shop. It might benefit...

Im not sure if this should go here or in the classifieds. Premature ejaculator seeks dark haired lady with big breasts shaved lady region and...........oh dear, it doesn't matter now.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a high vis cycling vest? I would like something which is lightweight, suitable for daytime warm weather cycling and fastens with a zip. Ideally I would prefer orange. Thanks.

My Pro Connect has now reached 11500 miles using the original chain and sprockets. Last week, the chain started slipping on the heavily worn rear sprocket, thus exposing my magnificent testicles to the perils of a heavy impact on the crossbar. It had always been my intention to continue until...

I have been on the lookout for a new cordless drill for a few weeks. My old Bosch battery drill gave up (motor knackerd) after many years of faithful service. I have seen this one at B&Q. If I buy a 10 pence bolt as well, it qualifies for the 20% discount making the drill £80. I don't think...

George Michaels has come out in sympathy with the Captain of the stricken Italian cruise liner Costa Concordia. Michaels has been quoted as saying,"I have total sympathy with Francesco Schettino. There have been many occasions when I have found myself lying on my side with a very badly damaged...

Am I being unfair in my view that private medical firms who have fitted defective breast implants into women should now take responsibility for removing them? I have just seen an interview with a man called Mel Braham who states that he represents private clinics who are involved in the tit...

I first became aware of electric bikes about 10 years ago when I saw an old boy on a bike whizzing around town at speeds that were not consistent with either the look of the bike or his age. I have no idea what sort it was, but it looked like a Raleigh RSW which I think later became a Raleigh...

Vote for the bike that you would buy if money was not a consideration.

Buttock cheek faced, "Call me Dave" and "Catarrh Hero" Ed could do worse than learn a lesson in truth telling from this guy. I don't know about anyone else, but I am becoming increasingly frustrated by these two continuously telling whatever lies they deem it necessary to tell, in order to stay...

My 10 Ah Panasonic battery is approaching three years old and has provided excellent performance over many thousands of miles. It may well last for many months, or a sudden cold snap over the winter may kill it. This has caused me to consider alternative. I guess that my options are another...

I'm turning into an electric bike anorak. I drove into work this morning and at 07:33 spotted someone on a Kalkhoff Pro Connect Disc cycling past Heanor Market Place. And very nice it looked too. Was it anyone on here? If so I'm sorry if I embarrassed you when I wound my window down and...

I have just driven through Cossall village on the outskirts of Nottingham and as I approached the village I saw a number of very bright rear lights in the distance. As I got closer, I saw that these lights were bright bicycle lights. Closer still and I noticed that all of the bikes were electric...

Lidl will be selling these Workshop stands again on Thursday 28th July priced £29.99. Members who purchased them last time they were on offer seemed to be impressed by the quality. I lost out to the eBay rats.

Another twelve months of Pro Connect ownership have elapsed and so I have decided to do a three year / 9000 mile review. The bike has evolved since I purchased mine back in July 2008, but some aspects of the bike remain the same and so will still be relevant. You can read my original 24...
