Amused me...:D

Having read your recent posts I can understand that! :D Good advice anyway on pulling away. I read your comments on a much earlier thread and put them into practice. Much safer :)

Tess It looks like your commute is less than 2 miles. There's no way you're going to get there all sweaty, hot and bothered no matter what you decide to buy. You don't say if you're going to use the bike to venture further afield or if you're planning to tackle some serious hills. Given the...

Sorry, I meant watching the look on drivers faces while pulling away at speed. Eyes front :D

Isn't that dangerous :confused: :eek:

Looks like you can be done for the old offence of "cycling furiously" but not for speeding.

Never heard of a cyclist being done for speeding. Most bikes don't have speedos so how would we know :confused

Thanks that was funny :D Flecc - These high speeds seem to be down longer steeper hills. My personal best was 34 MPH. The hill just wasn't long enough. It was madness but it had to be done :D . Not that I don't like speed just that everytime I get to cycle down a decent hill theres bumps...

45 mph!:eek: That would scare the s*&t out of me. I haven't overtaken anyone yet except a mobilty scooter - it was doing 8mph. Undertaken plenty of fast cars while joyfully whizzing down the cycle lane at 8:30am. They're only averaging about 8mph!:)

LOL. Depressing isn't it. :( You're in good company. The average on my cycle computer is only about 11 mph. That's because I have to stop and slow down far too often. I only get the good speeds downhill :D .

Me too. Just thought of san alternative for the washing machine :D

I remember that Diavelo ebike on the internet. The picture looked amazing especially with the Shaft Drive. I kept checking the site out but it never made it into the real world. The next electric bike to really grab my interest was the Wisper but I ended up with Cytronex. Interesting because...

8 mile a day round trip commute 3-4 days a week. Regular w/end round trip of 18 miles.

I reduced mine because it hurt my bum. I had them pumped up to 100 PSI. Nice and lively but I felt every bump. They're about 80 at the moment which is much more comfortable. Maybe that's why they've not been slipping. The max on the tyres is 110 PSI but the minimum is not stated. A bit of extra...

I'm sticking with the 700 X 32c slicks for the time being. I haven't experienced any noticable slips yet but I have avoided leaves like potholes - as best I can and none too fast! No way am I going out in the snow though:eek: .

Impressive yet bewildering. :confused:

Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to check mine over. Surprisingly I found them all nice and tight - even the mudguards. :)

The Cytronex is aimed at commuters who don't want to have to take a shower when they get to work after struggling up hills. It's certainly not underpowered except perhaps in the sense that the assisted range is about 20 miles. The bikes a hill climber with plenty of torque.

Just to add my two pennies worth. Mines been A1 since I picked it up. No broken bits, nothing dropping off, no nasty noises and it's done exactly what I was told it would do. Quick email responses from Mark at Cytronex as well. There's has been some reference to hype about some of the...

I lift the back wheel up slightly, change down gear - pushing the pedal so that it derails and changes down. Done a few times when the lights have caught me out. Cytronex isn't a heavy bike and the motor which is pretty light anyway is on the front wheel. Also the battery is towards the front...
