Absolutely, I don't know why he is in hospital, clearly jail is the right place.

"Believe" is police-speak for "know" but can't say for legal reasons. The alleged victim will probably be asked to make a statement to the effect that he hadn't given the goods to the alleged thief. Until then, that possibility still exists. I may be wrong but I can't help but feel that...

I worked for the old CEGB and, for a short while, one of its successors, Nuclear Electric. There was a lot wrong with the nationalised set up, but at least it was basically honest, it had a statutory duty to ensure security of supply and it was accountable, in the end to the UK goverment. The...

Gorgeous, but dare i ask the price?

"If you've been reading my posts you'll know that this bike's range is also falling short for me, the battery price to upgrade the range is a 650 quid battery - I'm not paying that for a battery I'd rather get a new bike and sell this one" Ye gods, what sort of battery cost £650? Is it nuclear...

I would happily throw £25 at them if they worked. Despite gloves of all sorts my hands ache on a cold morning. Last Feb I gave up cycling for a couple of weeks as hands too sore. This AM wasn't cold in any serious sense but still couldn't use a mouse properly for about 15 mins. If anyone has...

Voila, your bike is now capable of the new speed that you just set! Excellent. Now, how do you upgrade the brakes and lights to cope with that speed on a wet night on a cycle path? I say this as a guy has recently started riding an unrestricted ebike along my commute home. Bike certainly...

Now what wouldn't I give for a golf buggy. Like many in Tewkesbury, I live in an alley. Mine's one of the wider ones at about 5 foot between house railings. Everything - including furniture, building materials etc. has to be carried from the nearest road by a variety of barrows, carts, trolleys...

"Well, that's over at last", he said pulling his full 5'4" from the slough of despond in which he had thrown himself, in despair, many postings back. He slung his 27" inside leg over the saddle of his Bristol- tried, Bristol-bought bike, got comfortable and rode off whistling. "Maybe just...

Ahh, that's because you want its sister publication: Electric Bike Inaction Magazine. This month has a special pull-out "Weave your own wicker basket" and a free bell cosy. The website will be available after lunch, say 4.30, tomorrow.:)

And the lamppost it was chained to. Don't worry about wrapping it, just as it comes.

Denwyn At some stage you are going to have to try some bikes. Now would be a good time, before the weather and clocks change. If you are able, why not go to Bristol for a day to two, visit Atmosphere, ETS and any others I've missed and try some bikes. Sit on them, pedal them - Park Street will...

Have to say you are unlikely to get anywhere near 14kg weight, but if she knows your Freego, she probably knows that already. What about the Momentum Model T at 23Kg? Not sure how well the 2 speed auto would cope with hills, but it gets good reviews. My own Smarta LX8 is a step through, climbs...

"On the subject of punctures - how much faith can I put in my Kenda "puncture resistance" tyres?" I don't remember which model they were but my bike came with Kenda tyres. Had only 1 puncture in 9000+ miles. In the end the tread stripped off both tyres, but still held air. When the first...

Only to 4 to 7 year old, and possibly only until the next election.:o

I might. I was very impressed with the Model T at Bristol. Wouldn't mind trying it on the road. I do 24 miles most days on reasonably flat road. I am not sure it would prove as robust as my Smarta, but it would be lighter. I only use 2 gears most of the time 5 and 8 on a Nexus hub, but I would...

Getting bored with hearing the word "cheat" though. Anyone got a withering response to this jibe "I think you're confusing me with Lance Armstrong"

Nearly £1700 and no where to hang your carrier bags?:)
