    Blind spot

    That's the first I have ever heard of the Think Cyclist campaign. Clearly not working, as I am a bit of a news junkie, and would at least have hear of it, even if I didn't know the detail.

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    On with the sun glasses and a seriously relaxing ride from Tewks to Malvern, by the slow route as the main road was flooded at Upton. Hardly any traffic, bright blue sky, fingers unusable for half hour afterwards as damn cold. All on top of a morning swim at Cascades pool - thanks to all the...

    BH Emotion serious problems

    I haven't read the whole thread, but if it were me, I'd by knocking on Trading Standards' door.. It is not the purchaser's job to go hither and thither over defective items. I appreciate that the buck may land at the LBS, but they have the lever with the distribtor or BH: Betther quality or no...

    Grab a Bargain -£70 only for Synergie Mistral electric bike...

    Well, I qualify for that (just) but have 27" inside leg. What is the height from ground to mid-point of the cross bar, as I like to stand at traffic lights, rather than balance on the cross bar using my testicles as grips.:eek: Thanks Bill

    Dropping In just to update.

    Consider yourself fortunate. I go to buy trousers. They cut 5 inches off the bottom, the fit is all wrong, and they want to charge you extra! :o

    Dropping In just to update.

    Good to hear things going well, and enjoy the trip. Would be tempted by the Trex but would need a ladder to get on it.:o

    A Crazy Printer Dilema

    I run a small computer business. We have long since given up selling cheaper (less than £200) printers as there is no profit in them. The money is made, especially by the manufacturers, on the consumables. This is even more the case with inkjets where £30/40 will get an extremely good printer or...

    Or buy a moped. 30 MPH, no pedalling, but you will need a licence.

    UPS use electric trikes in Europe

    It is good to see zero emissions being taken seriously again by large companies. I say again because the UK, and possibly elsewhere, used to have huge fleets of electric delivery trucks. Milk floats they were called, but I remember them beung used to deliver bread and soft drinks too. When I...

    Smarta GT

    Hi Warner I have a Smarta LX. Although these is same brand I am not sure how closely related it is to the GT. The LX ia a front motor step-through with a hub gear, the GT is a rear motor step-over with a derailleur. I cannot praise the LX highly enough. In 3.5 years it has done over 14,000...

    why do you have more than one bike.......

    Just two bikes I'm afraid. No space outdoors for any more. One is my faithful Smarta - now in excess of 14,000 miles on the clock; the other a Dawes hybrid bought in June for weekend leisure trips at a stately 8/10 MPH. Did have an Urban Mover folder, but since I moved from Gloucester to...

    Where did your pension go?

    I gave mine to a charming man from the bank. The same one who sold me an endowment mortgage, a PPI and all sorts of other `plans'. The same man who is today enjoying a multi-million pound income because his bank, although technically bankrupt, has been supported with billions of pounds of...
