    Datatag systems on KTM Bikes....

    Datatag has certainly never stopped motorcycles being nicked, neither has it had any affect in stolen bikes being recovered, as there's loads of reports on bike forums of datatagged bikes being nicked and never seen again. Bikers generally do not see it as being much worth. I don't know anyone...

    Datatag systems on KTM Bikes....

    Datatag, and the other system Alphadot were used on motorcycles years ago...... no one bothers fitting them anymore. There must be a reason for that. I'd be much more impressed with a decent lock given with a bike.

    Blind spot

    Seeing as trucks are about £100,000 each..... good luck with getting the transport industry to fork out the billions needed to change all their trucks, just to accommodate the few cyclists stupid enough to cycle up the inside of trucks. Not to mention the fact that these modified trucks could...

    More news on Shimano's STEPS e-bike systems

    Indeed..... and my personal opinion, I will always have more faith in Japanese made products than I will from European made ones.

    Electric Transport-Charging Times-what am I missing.

    I've always thought it was bad for the batteries to be charged too fast..... seeing as even mobile phone batteries take at least an hour to charge. Also, I now only use rechargeable aa and aaa batteries in radios, bike lights and torches. When I've charged these in fast 15 or 30 min chargers...

    why do you have more than one bike.......

    I don't think i'd want another ebike, on top of the one I have, but I am going to buy an unassisted bike to compliment it. It will probably be a Boardman Cyclocross. That will be it for me on the bike front. Much harder, is trying to stop myself buying more motorcycles...... i'm finally down to...

    Which are you?

    With motorcyclists...... they say there are old riders, bold riders, but no old bold riders. This could easily apply to cyclists as well.

    Which are you?

    This is true, when they say 'sorry I didn't see you' it often means 'sorry I didn't look'

    Separate speedo on a Bosch bike

    Must admit, I've no need of a smartphone on a bike. In fact I don't want a smartphone at any time. I got sucked into buying one once and got fed up with charging it all the time. So I was glad when it developed a fault and I got my money back. Gone back to my ancient Sony Ericsson W810i, that I...

    Another cyclist dies in London

    The reason why the drivers of trucks sit up high, is because they are effectively sitting on the engine. A low driving position can be achieved with buses because the engine is in the rear of the vehicle. Easily done in a rigid passenger carrying vehicle, not so in a goods carrying vehicle...

    Another cyclist dies in London

    Until many cyclists lose this mindset that they shouldn't ever have to stop on the roads in traffic, then fatalities will carry on happening. I see it time & time again. Cyclist enters a road from a side road and turns left. The cyclist seems to think because they take up so little room that...

    Changing appearance ?

    You could always get Tim Westwood round to 'pimp your ride'...... That's if you could put up with that intensely annoying white boy 'Jamockney' accent without punching his lights out.

    Is It Safer Riding an Electric Bike?

    I don't think there's any difference. Whether you're on an ebike or a push bike, you're still slower than what all other traffic is capable of. You're still the smallest vehicle on the road and you're still vulnerable with no safety cage around you.

    Moustache eBikes - What do you think?

    Seeing as its a mountain bike, I guess the larger wheel up front has been copied from off road motorcycles that also have a larger front wheel and smaller diameter back. A larger wheel at the front is better for riding over ruts, tree roots, rocks etc.

    My favourite two bikes

    Our current bikes are always the best ones..... until the next one we buy. But I do have fond memories of my first road legal bike, a purple Yamaha FS1E, or the Fizzy as they were known as. No pics of it sadly. But i'm still riding Yamaha's.....

    For sale: Burisch Synergy GT250 Large Ebike + off road controller (as new)

    If I were interested in buying this bike, before I do anything I would contact Burisch to find how I stand with any warranty, anyone would be a fool to just take the sellers word for it. I have my doubts that they would agree to honour any warranty, and if this is the case I would expect a...
