    Cyclists claim they are being cheated from top spots on Strava by e-bike users

    You can set an android device to e-bike, and it will always be on e-bike as its default setting until you change it again.

    Cyclists claim they are being cheated from top spots on Strava by e-bike users

    It's not searchable in the way cycling and running segments are, but there are e-bike segments out there, I've made a few over the years.

    General News New roads should prioritise cyclists, says NICE

    Dropped kerbs a few feet from the junction is a big bugbear of mine, in the wrong place and I never ever use them.

    Newbie asking for advice about first ebike to get ca. £1200-1500

    I'm just a few miles south in the Peak District, I tackled Cooper lane a couple of years ago, if you follow the link I made earlier you should be able to see my stats and ride. If you're going to spend most of your time off-road, say 80% then go for an MTB, but if it's the other way round at...

    I'm sure that once you get going you will want to ride up it! you'll not stop once you get the bug, they're wonderful things are e-bikes. You'll be trying your hand at Cooper Lane too :)

    Newbie asking for advice about first ebike to get ca. £1200-1500

    There aren't many places where you get 25% grade hills going on for miles. Here's another one, iconic for some, not that steep in reality https://www.strava.com/segments/19642694?filter=overall

    Newbie asking for advice about first ebike to get ca. £1200-1500

    I'm sorry Andy that just isn't true. my old high geared and hub geared low torque bosch classic gets me up 25% gradients, I went off to create this segment in Holmfirth, I don't think Strava will back search activities and load me onto an e-bike segment (unless they've fixed it now). When I...

    Cube with CX or Active plus ?

    I'd go hybrid then https://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/m12b0s184p19823/CUBE-Cross-Hybrid-One-500-2018

    Cube with CX or Active plus ?

    I'd take one with a larger battery and less power every time, in reality you'll rarely use all of the power of the cx motor, so this would be my choice. https://www.leisurewheels.co.uk/m12b0s181p19805/CUBE-Acid-Hybrid-One-500-29-2018

    Ribble E-Bike

    A friend has just bought an Orbea Gain with Tiagra, she had a long discussion with the shop's mechanic about going for 105, and he convinced her there was no need, the latest Tiagra shifters are now actually the last version of 105, so in reality you're just getting an older version of 105.

    Which e-bike for the wife? (Bosch motor Qs)

    My Garmin clocked 4734 feet, but it always underestimates so nearer 6,000 feet going off other riders stats on the day. https://www.strava.com/activities/485023813#11640864343 That's interesting about the zero resistance above the motor speed. mines a first gen Bosch classic and I've never...

    Indeed indeed, hence my challenge route which would give a really good comparison to my bike, although there is of course the rider variable.

    Which e-bike for the wife? (Bosch motor Qs)

    Those are seriously impressive range figures Andy, I really need to try a newer bike, my bike will be 6 years old soon, and I'm guessing my batteries aren't as good as they used to be. If you're up for a hard test of you and your bike it'd be really really interesting to see how your 500 w/h...
