You know, I can't be sure the driver did go up that buses-only road on reflection but I seem to recall he did. He may have just continued up that side road and the whole near-collision could of happened earlier before the giveway which looks a bit faded doesn't it.. The annoying thing is, I was...

Yeah that's exactly it, it's hard to keep your nerve and maintain confidence on busy roads, even though we have as much right to be on the road and even if we're going slower and holding up traffic a bit during these situations...I guess confidence comes with experience of riding on the roads...

Just to clarify, when I said "oncoming traffic" made me less confident to continue my intended course...I meant traffic coming down that side road when I eventually went up... It was one of those situations where there was traffic coming towards me, traffic building up behind me, buses coming...

Hehe rather wacky idea! How about "keep your distance"

That seems a fair assessment I think I was rather foolish and lucky not to get in hospital. Lesson learned!

I do have a mirror but it's a bit useless and needs sorting out, keeps moving. I think you're right, my mistake was not staying in the right lane and that probably confused the other driver, assuming he was even paying any attention to me.

This weekend I nearly had my first road accident (collision with a fast moving car). Luckily I wasn't going very fast and a disaster was narrowly avoided. I'm wondering however who was to blame..I feel it was either entirely my fault or partly my fault, I must confess I was a bit tired that...

I thought I was going to be stopped by the police the other day for failing to signal when I was making a turn into a giveway...I normally always hand signal, but on this particular day I didn't and as luck would have it, there was a police car right behind me... they continued to drive slow...

Nice looking site and bikes robbie.

I guess this is going to be a problem for the ebike industry for a while until more reliable technology emerges that can cope with the demands.. batteries are something of an unknown variable because they can vary in quality and also it depends on how users ride their bikes and how often. it...

Hope Indalo doesn't stay out in the cold too long, he reminds me of a cat that walks away after waiting to get back in when you open the door for it. :D Snow Patrol!! I was just about to PM you Lyn, no sooner had I closed the chat window I had forgotten the name... 40 going on 70. Brain cells...

Thanks for the heads up on the mailbox, cleared it now.

Here is a quick video I made the other day showing my daily work trek to the sorting office across town.. it's a journey of about 5 and a half miles round trip that takes me under 30 minutes.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_8ikxggx1k And no, I'm not riding at 100mph I just sped up in the...

David when he stopped you did he check over your bike at all or ask any questions? Did he comment at all on it being electric?

We have our new name Voting has now closed for the poll to decide a name for the project. Cyclecharge won by a clear lead with 52% of the vote! Thanks to all those who voted and suggested names. I've registered cyclecharge.org.uk for the new site domain name. I also took the opportunity of...

Great angle there Alan, something we never even considered!

Few sellers like this one, got them on eBay.

I just noticed the status of these two members is showing as banned. I'm quite surprised as I haven't seen anything happen in the forum and they were commenting a few days normally on posts... have I missed something? Seems a shame to lose two long-standing members. Maybe its an error?

The way I've approached it is something similar to what d8veh has suggested.. I've just used a decent roomy handlebar bag (very cheap off eBay approx £6) and it holds my controller and 10Ah 2.3kg battery. I don't need to remove mine as I never the leave the bike outside anywhere, but if I did...

Maybe other suppliers are giving a more cautious figure to minimise possible warranty issues on a consumable item which can be an unknown on an ebike.
