Do you need a mountain bike to commute? There are a couple of interesting bikes on eBay. And the offers from Tom at LEBC too

Quality is as D8veh says a measure of different aspects of something( here a bike). If I want a bike to do 2 miles on flat road with limited effort almost any bike will achieve this spec. It I want to do big down hill jumps then I get a very different specification to an ultra lightweight road...

Who heavy are you what range do you need and speed any hills and what effort can you put in. And this is before we get onto budget style of bike and drive type( don't ask hub or crank).

It's clean too. You could be upto PDI but still no mugs...

Because you can go and test a few new bikes and see what they are like. You've enought experience to know what your upto now.

Ma bairns a quine, Sophia chust sux year aud. Anyway why the broad scots from an Englishman?

Martin spotless white gloves and workshop are suspicious? But the real sign it's staged is no mug on the bench!

The test is can the motor deliver 250 watts without burning out?. Any of the 250 watt motors that can produce 1000 watts now could just be reclassified with no real increase in power. (Simplistic reply there is more detail if you need it)

Doon the watter ya ken, past the Port

When it comes to pedal you @@@@"! If you go slow ie 6 to 10 mph it's realy easy. It's only above 10 when wind resistance comes into play and effort is required. So go slow and it's quite easy. Infact you get legs that work more and more. So you get faster.

Trex one is hard work. Which one?

Seconded the Gallego, for price and foldability. It's £1900 ish for nearest equivalent Brompton

Most of the cycling energy is used to overcome air resistance. Normally only a small percentage is used to get up hill and that is usualy used for weeeee fun agin not inefficent recharging. You could get power back but persons make around 150 watts. It you use that for charging you aren't...

The Atlantic can be as little as 3 weeks in a reasonable yacht. The departure times tend to be west to East early fall. East to west early spring.

Time for me to emigrate Hatti ?

Commuting 100 miles a week. ( I like the scenic route) Plus fun trips at weekend. I want my bike to last. And go fast too.

Frame size might help too

Well perhaps I should pay again? And get my new bike.
