    E-RollingBIKES - bargain alert.

    New! Sirocco-Sport from Woosh

    Thanks for the review d8veh and thanks to Woosh. You said it fits your 5' 10" self. Did you have much seatpost left to play with? Do think it would fit my 6' 1.5"? (and 90kg) 17" frame looks a bit small (for me).

    Justebikes. Removal of thread.

    Well, I tend to disagree, I have seen dealers on here recommend other dealer's products. Certainly they may bring their own product to our attention, I don't have a problem with that. If they claimed anything outrageous, the more knowledgeable members here would soon shoot them down...

    Will e-bikes ever enjoy mainstream popularity in the UK?

    ....and another thing, IMAGE. British people believe it is only possible to own two types of bike. Expensive Mountain bike. Expensive road bike. Nothing else will do. And if they commute they are all Lycra'd up and demand shower facilities when they get to work. The idea of a 'normal' bike...

    Will e-bikes ever enjoy mainstream popularity in the UK?

    Absolutely, especially in winter when it's dark and raining and if you work out of town and the journey is on un-lit, twisty little roads and car drivers are late for work. My son's teacher was killed by a Chelsea tractor in similar circumstances. I see cycling commuters on my drive to work...

    Come for a ride.............

    A good alternative to tobacco is e-cigarettes or 'vaping' You get smoke (or vapour) you get nicotine. You don't get cancer and it doesn't stink, it's your ticket out of fag town, what's not to like? Good forum here: Planet of the Vapes UK Vaping Forums This is some of my vaping kit:

    Come for a ride.............

    Very interesting Bob, I love this sort of stuff, as does my son whom I have sent this to. I remember looking out of the Gent's toilet window in The Plough and way below was the railway line that went to Old Town railway station. I used to live in Devizes Road. My son lives in Cricklade which...

    Brilliant Bob, Thank you very much. " the Tourist Information Office " LOL hard to imagine many tourists in there. What history Swindon does have tends to be neglected like the Mechanics Institute. But credit to Swindon for their cycle path policy. I downloaded the pdf you linked to...

    Come for a ride.............

    Brilliant vid Blew it! I actually live in Swindon, you got near my house at one stage when you were at Bruce Street Bridges and the new B&Q. I never knew there were so many cycle paths. Is there a cycle map available anywhere? I haven't actually got my bike electrified yet, still not...
