I bought a pair of Maplins' battery gloves last winter. Keeps the palms warm but not very good at warming finger tips. Still better than unheated Sealskins in dry weather.

There hs been a welcome increase in trade members recently - Whoosh, Velospeed, On-bike - come to mind. Could I just ask that they identify themselves as such by using the Trade Member logo as displayed by Cyclezee, Xipi and others? It avoids any misunderstandings. cheers Bill

:rolleyes: But if you drink the lake water you'll cycle 5 MPH faster

Thanks for the replies. I am inclined to stay with ETS as I can't afford the possible risk of BMSBattery. Does anyone know of a cheaper UK source? Bill

I use a B&M Cycle Star long stem from Dotbike Busch and Muller Cycle Star Stubby Rear View Mirror - from £15.33 | Dotbike. Very stable but glass a bit small. I used to have a Raleigh, which has a nice big glass but I couldn't get it to remain still:after 5 miles it would flap like a flag in a...

After 2 1/2 years and 6700 miles my battery is getting a bit short of breath. It is only good for 18 /19 milles rather than the original 30. It is a phylion XH370-10J LiMnO4 battery, £350 at ETS. I see that BMS have a 36V Li-Ion NiCoMn at half the price...

You could frighten the plebs on that bike!:cool:

Some years ago I had a visit from PPL at my shop. The agent gave a long and rather threatening `speech' about the misuse of copyright music, how we might be defrauding performers and record companies etc. We do not listen radio or records at work. Being in an awkward mood I told him that I would...

My Smarta Lx8 is 2 1/2 years and 6500 miles old. It cost £1300 including kevlar tyres and an uprated controller. Since then it has had 3 services, a new chain and only 1 puncture. That equates to roughly 21p per mile total cost. The battery is original. The range has dropped to about 17 miles...

I think you are right about dogs' hearing. On my way home in the evening I travel A38 Gloucester Tewkebury road. At the busy junction with the Cheltenham road there lives a large dog. It stands silent whilst all other vehicles pass, but as soon as my (embarrasingly noisy) ebike comes along it...

At Tewkesbury town hall a display by the battlefield society. Painting of the medieval banners which are displayed in the town every summer. All the banners are hand painted by volunteers. They represent the various nobles & knights who fought at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. Chatted to...

And mind where you park your attachments.

Yes, except that for the steepest hills they recommended a donkey! :)

I bought a Smarta LX about 18 months ago. It is mainly used for commuting. Since moving house in June, I average between 75 to 120 miles aweek. My total mileage to date is just over 4000. I thought this was quite a lot until I read this review of the same bike, 15000 miles in 14 months... Hope...

26th November. Just had the first caroller of the season! Left empty handed. I'm still finishing the easter egg. Is this a record?
