    Bike Forks?

    Shocking.......pardon the pun. I mean really? Did you by any chance contact BH directly in Spain to complain or get satisfaction? Might be worth a shot.

    London Cyclist Assaulted

    I agree that the cyclist was probaby the author of his demise. I do confront motorist when I get the chance and stay calm. I also make sure they see my camera and let them know they are being recorded as was the reason I stopped to chat. It would be very nice if video evidence submitted by...

    Wear and tear

    Way back when I purchased a road bike, I joined a triathelon club and started the level of ridership that goes with the training and races. It was a 14 speed entry level bike with a basic shimano and chain setup. I had the bike for 5 years before purchasing a Merida Road Race. When I sold the...

    Riding On Pavements

    I did not know that this thread was there. It looks like I may be repeating but I feel it should be repeated until some action is taken against drivers through education and enforcement of existing laws. Flecc's posting above on the 1999 law an its interpritation flies in the face of what is...

    Need a more comfy seat

    Try before you buy! If you going to be doing mostly rugged trail riding, the full sus will be great. On cycle paths and roads you will find that the bike will, what I call, pedal float. The bike will bounce up and down to the rythym of your pedal stroke. Most annoying as I have used a full sus...

    Riding On Pavements

    It is illegal to ride a bicycle, electric or otherwise, on a pavement unless it is designated as a cycle path or shared use thoroughfare. This I have been made well aware of here in Leicester. In a city that claims to be cycle friendly, trying to find safe routes can be daunting. Recently the...

    Bike Forks?

    All this negative talk of Suntour being crap has me a bit mystified. I had a 26" MTB I bought in 2003 equipped with low end Suntours. I rode it about 100 miles a week, road and trail, from April to September as part of my training as an ice hockey player. I used the bike like this until 2007...

    How to avoid Roadrage...

    Here is how I do it (Does not always work for me or them) If it is not that serious, do nothing. I just shake my head. If there is going to be an interaction, take these steps: 1 - Stay calm and focused. Avoid shouting or using obscene gestures. (This is sometimes hard to do when someone has...

    Can anyone recommend a good bike for hill climbing and distance

    The BH Emotion Neo Cross is a great bike when equipped with the 12ah battery and should do a round trip. I have only driven one twice and was impressed. Not cheap at £2,200. A cheaper way to go could be a Freego Hawk or Eagle equipped with a 16ah battery. The range is stated as 50 miles. I rode...

    Juicy Classic

    You should get about 30 miles on a full charge with pedaling. If you us just the throttle you will get much less. The indicator lights will go from four at no load, down to three, then down to two an finally only one will light. This is the time to charge. As your battery discharges, the lights...
