Anyone understand GPS? A bit wierd, but I set my phone (an HTC) recording my walks this weekend as my mate had just bought a new Garmin and we wanted to compare (sad I know - but boys and toys - what can you say) I have two programmes on the phone which record GPS data: Memory Map, and now...

Thank you - I bet you say that to all Ezee Riders! Just as well it displays in either flavour then! I must admit I always refer to my running events as 10k runs, but somehow I always think about my cycling or walking in miles - bizarre? Just back from a cracking weekend in North...

I think there is a link top right below the word "Blog" next to the Login link which lets you switch between metric and imperial units. I agree its a nonsense in kms - lets hope the coalition leaders will let us get rid of kms altogether! It is really interesting to see actual performance...

Yep - Junctions seem key - on the morning I made that run I think the first time I used the brakes was 6 miles in, and after that hardly at all - I think I arrived at every light and roundabout just right - fortunately I have some cycle lanage to use through Warwick and Leamington which helps as...

First, thanks to Vikki and Mussels for posting up their more typical data in a previous thread. It was seeing the results Mussels had uploaded onto "SportyPal" which prompted me to instal that surprisingly good little free app for my phone and gather some more data myself. See : Fast run to...

I had been passing a guy (on an unpowered touring bike) in the opposite direction for a number of weeks when one day we both had to stop either side of a busy road to cross onto the continuing cyclepath the other side. He waves at me and ducks accross and stops to speak to me I am...

Ref Cycle 2 work voucher A note about the process if you are using cyclescheme.co.uk When I applied for mine I was impressed at how easy it was and how quickly it got approved - right up to the stage you are now at! What happens next is cyclescheme.co.uk will email an invoice to your...

.... you think about journeys in terms of the Watt Hours they would need your evenings are punctuated by visits to the shed to check on charging batteries you carry three different methods to repair a puncture with you and pray you never have to use any of them - ever! - what are your...

….. I`d write poems (obvious really!) And today I`d write a poem about my ride into work which would include some of the following sort of stuff:- 06:30 Fresh clean cool air Mist on the horizon, and hanging above the river Bright sunlight just beginning to bring some warmth Puddles on...

Me too I tried joining ages ago using my Hotmail account (my main personal email account) only to get a nmessage that the account was "Banned" I tried contacting admin to no avail, so in the end joined using another work based account. I have since tried to change my email contact details...

Inner tube selection & pressures Excellent that there then follows some very helpful advice for Ratzakli and others on how to remove the wheel to replace the tube, which it sounds like has done the trick - fantastic Also follows a number of recommendations for Marathon Plus tyres - also...

Not an April Fools Post To be clear - my post and list of items is not an April Fool joke - I do carry said items in the back of my kayak. I was just wondering if the inventive folk on here had any other non standard items to suggest - I always find the little kits you buy ready done of...

First - apologies if this has been extensively debated before. I have tried using search, but searching on "first+aid" returns nothing, while "first aid" returns thousands of posts with either the word first in them, or the word aid, so I probably need a tutorial on using the search function a...

Range ? Very good - but what about range? lol! Sorry - couldnt resist Bob_about

Two Batteries Hi Tex Two Batteries, One Bike, One Love ! Although I had the second connector wired in by OnBike at the point of sale (and as such it is covered by the warranty) I undersatnd from Andrew that all new Ezee bikes come with a twin battery option (ie the wiring is already...

Hi Dynamic Dont know about the Kalkhoff, but my Ezee Sprint has the large back lit LCD display fitted. I missed the really bad snowy weather as I started using it on 1st March, but experience so far is ..... The first three weeks were dry and bright and most journeys in the first two...

OK - its a fair cop - hard to compete with 200 years of clever people from around the globe. Thanks for posting the link. Definitely worth bunging a couple of these in the bottom of the pannier as a get me home measure - I didnt know they existed. My only real paranoia about my daily...

Photo voltaic cells on the panniers / rack ? Dont tell me - already debated and not worth doing! Is there a new law of physics applicable to this forum - ideas can be neither created nor destroyed, just recycled with some energy lost to heat ?!! Coat already on! Byeee Bob_about

I am determined to bring at least one original idea to this forum which hasn't already been debated and discarded! So here it is - I hope - tapered straight inner tubes. I may even ring Drogons Den and the patent office! The concept would be to make inner tubes which do not form a...

Now I think about it, my old Morris Minor van had a timing chain rather than a cam belt. That was a performance motor! Happy days I'll get my coat Bob_about
