Yesterday I decided to have a go at filming a bike trip I had planned across town to view a property I'm interested in.. I haven't had any success in finding a special purpose mini bike camera, so I decided to try using my Toshiba Camileo S10 pocket flip camcorder, which I somewhat precariously...

If anyone is interested I found a good place for cheap cycling trousers, SportsDirect.com: Mens Combats - Mens - SportsDirect.com I was on the look out for some as my best jeans keep getting caught in chain and they're not very comfortable or practical to ride in anyway.. I got a pair...

Just been out again for my early morning ride...I'm trying to put an hour or so in each day before I start work, for the exercise, and to gain more experience of riding electric..actually I'm finding it hard to stay off the thing! It was surprisingly chilly this morning despite the early...

As I gain more riding experience with my electric bike it's apparent the increased risk of accidents with electric bikes over normal bikes.. obviously electric bikes are technically vehicles. Anything capable of moving by itself has the increased potential to crash into someone or something...

I'm hoping someone with a bit of experience maintaining bikes can help me with this one, couldn't find any definitive answers online... I've just changed the tyres on my bike and also adjusted the gears (previously downgraded from 21-speed to 7-speed)... now, when I put the rear wheel back in...

I cleared out my shed today and put my old MTB outside it as I needed the space for storage... I was hoping the scrap metal collector would of been round to take it but he hasn't come today.. so I've left it out and I'm wondering how long it will take before someone takes it! It's in a...

I had planned another trip this morning as the weather forecast was for a nice bright dry sunny day, however I woke up this morning to the ominous sign of dark cloud and rain droplets on the window... I decided to delay my trip and sure enough by 10am it was chucking it down with no mention of...

I decided to unwrap one of my 36v 5Ah Chinese batteries earlier which I bought off eBay. Mainly to see the size of the cells and assess if the size of the battery could be changed to suit a housing enclosure as I had trouble finding a housing tall enough. My reason for wanting to put the battery...

Hi all, I have not been posting to the forum since before Christmas, so best wishes to everyone and hope you're all well. Some of you may remember my posts last year reviewing a Chinese Wisper clone which I subsequently returned (too heavy, under-powered and over-priced). I had planned to do...
