    Look what the postman brought..

    The 3000LM CREE XM L2 LED Cycling Headlight. It is amazing. Cheers for the 'heads up' on this item d8veh. :) I knocked up a couple of videos to show it's brilliance. Compared with a 6000 lumen bike light.

    This guy was hard work for me.

    I saw this young guy tootling along, travelling around 20 mph on a regular push bike, and he didn't seem at all taxed going at that speed. So, I decided to give myself a bit of a workout and try to keep up with him for a little while. :) My cut-off is 19.5 mph.

    Nothing special. Just getting wet.

    Once upon a time, after work, I planned to take the dog for a run around the park. But my youngest daughter had taken him out earlier today. I still went out, as it was nice and warm and T-shirt weather. It rained, but due to it being so warm, I loved it and it made me feel particularly happily...

    I saw another 2 ebikes today.

    That makes a staggering total of 6 in the past month. :eek: They're getting very popular around here. :) The guy's bike is from EBC, Kent (Electric Bike Conversions). The MTB that the kit's on is a Camaro. The ladies folding bike is an Enviro-bike explorer electric bike.

    Winter safety. Dark nights, lights, tips and tricks.

    Winter drawers on. But keep that to yourself madam. :) Any tips, equipment and safety tips for the darker nights? Please share them here. :) I'll kick it off with this £1 head torch from poundland. I've had mine for over a year now, it needs new batteries, but it still works well. I carry it...

    Two punctures in two days!

    I fixed a puncture yesterday evening, replacing the regular inner tube with a slime, self sealing tube. They seal punctures of up to 2mm. I only had a one mile walk home with that one. Here's the puncture occurring. Today, it's just my luck to be as far away from home as possible on my...

    Ebiking lets me..

    Keep fit, have a laugh, and meet happy people. They're a good ice breaker. Love them or hate them, people always have questions to ask about them. Especially when you bump into someone else riding one. :) Maybe you just like the electronics, the brexit thread, or simply getting out there into...

    I should mind my own business.

    And watch what the road is doing.. :oops:

    Speed matters

    Here's a little video showing the braking distance difference between 15 and 20 mph. I hit the brakes when I reach the sign post on the left, then I dismount and turn the camera and bike around to show the stopping distance achieved. This one is on a dry pathway. I'll retest when it's wet. My...

    They clearly didn't expect us. :)

    Haha! :D She was caught out, giving him a robust hand massage, as we came over the hill on our evening mush. :oops:

    Light test. Various brightness levels and flash.

    Whilst smashing it up around the park, I made a little video whilst testing my bike-light out. :)

    Brian, 77 years young, and his G-Tech ebike.

    Whilst preparing to e-stalk :D.. I happened across Brian on his bike.

    E-Stalking.

    Noticing that many bikers have a competitive edge, the need for speed and an OCD for pain and gain, I've devised a new pastime, 'E-stalking'. What is that? :confused: It involves pursuing and pushing regular bikes and their riders, closing distance gradually, before they've even realised that...

    Three's no crowd.

    I bumped into some fellow ebikers today. One 82 years of age, the other, 95! There's hope for us all. :) They were riding a 28" wheeled KTM Macina and a 20" Byocycle.

    Pokemon go! Just go please!

    Oblivious to the world of danger around them, the intrepid Pokémon hunters know no fear! :eek:

    G-Tech. I got asked again..

    A disabled gent asked me about the G-Tech, they've all seen it on the telly. I told him that I thought that it was a good deal. But in my opinion, a better bike right now, is the Carrera crossfire-e. Especially at it's current price point. We chatted for 10 minutes or so on kit bikes, E-MTB's...

    Living the dream.

    Daughter, grandson, ebikes and me, hit the park for some fun. :)
