If the potholes don't get you, the Photoshop will.

Have had a pair of these for about a year. They heat the palm of the hand but leave the fingers cold, which rather defeats the object. Good riding on main roads here as most cars stayed at home. Bill

We are told that the front wheel was 30 inches diameter, and the rear driving wheel was 40 inches diameter. The circumference of the rear wheel is 30 x 3.142 =94.26 inches, or 7.855 feet. Er, isn't the circumference 40 x 3.142 = 125.66" or 10.47 feet?

Wot? No flux capacitor. I could do with one on the bike these cold mornings, be at work in no time. The legendary reusable match,supposedly bought up the Swedish Match Co is also strangely not mentioned. Is this list published by Scandanavian spooks as a way of diverting attention?

"The reason our councils need these big rates is to fund their pension schemes which represent a massive hole in their budgets,as shops are going bust they put up the rates to the remainder,the law of diminishing returns!" Quote from Kudos's original post. Just on a point of information, it is...

I am not sure that all black clothes are going to show up on the black tarmac that Glos County insist on using on our roads. Now if they painted them yellow or white it would also reduce global warming by reflecting heat. In the meantime I'll stick with the hi-vis.

My instinctive, untested reaction to this is surprise. When looking in my small bike mirror any lights are better than no lights, and I (think I) see bright coloured cars better than dark ones. Worse are the matt greys that seem to fashionable amongst the Clarkson groupies. Oh, and bikes without...

I can understand that. But i worry that if you sell the bike you may still get the hassle. Trading Standards will advise on getting refunds made with security for both parties, or you could appoint a lawyer to hold money and goods in escrow whilst details are sorted out. Don't want to prolong...

"just got a email from James confirming that i can sell the trekking bike to recoup my money, if i wish to do so." I have been in retail for 20 years: I do not like what is happening here. 20ston bought a bike, it broke. In law he is entitled to a refund, or if he chooses, to have the bike...

Been some brilliant commutes this week. Tewkesbury is, as we say here, a bit damp and many fields between Tewks and Gloucester are under water. Stunning views, either in bright morning sunlight or by the light of the full moon. Hope weather lasts til Saturday so can take some pictures...

We have been approached by this light manufacturer/similar a few times recently. Although it does look good, it is still illegal to use lasers on the public roads. In that case, I'll stick to exhaust seeking missiles

"A Mercedes badge.......it doesnt actually have to BE mercedes, just have the badge....ok ok Im shallow" First car I ever drove was a Wolseley 1500. Wolseley's only unique point was its illuminated badge. Now if i could have a bike with a Wolseley badge featuring a high power LED, that would be...

Put a large windmill on the front and a couple of wings and it would fly.... Speaking of unlikely projects, any news on the powered pedals idea that won a prize for innovation earlier this year?

Hi Dave, "Out of interest how is that BMS battery being sent to you? After that batch of batteries blew a hole in the side of a US air courier plane (it landed just!) then CAA have started to get more aggressive about batteries in airplanes,the fines for incorrect labelling can be...

"Hi Billadie,pulled the following from my website,the statement is 18 month old but I cannot see much has changed. A big factor when considering the long term ownership costs of an electric bicycle. The most popular battery recently fitted to e-bikes has been lithium manganese, this has an...

As a consequence of this thread I has a look at Kudos's website. They might want to revisit the FAQ section on batteries before someone notices that some of the information about competitors products is -shall we say- dated. I am sure that this wasn't meant to make the competitor's products...

I really do not see the point of this topic. It started as a serious query as to the relative value of two models of bike. It has since degenerated into a pub argument. I suspect that there is history between some participants. I am also wary about people waving flags (legitimately or not) and...

Seems to me that there is a lot of pedalling going on here, but we are not getting very far up the hill. We live in a country where manufacturing, and manufacturing areas has been deliberately ignored in the interests of other sectors of the economy and regions of the country. The...

I'm afraid that most Union Flags are not made in the UK these days. Midland Imports: Europe's Largest Flag Wholesaler - Pages

I see that these bikes feature a flux motor. Can it do time travel? Also as it's a Transverse flux motor, would that be Sideways to the Future? It's been a long day.....
