    I've been STOLEN, AGAIN!! :(

    Your only other option is to get something you can bolt to the bike, There are some plastic box type pannier bags or maybe look for a small motorcycle pannier that can be bolted on. As with most things the trade off for making the bag/box secure (as much as anything can be) is it's a faff to...

    Which lights and Pannier Bags do you recommend

    Ive used the for a while now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RCP-WP100-carrier-bags-2015/dp/B00OT3AR52 Good build quality and waterproof throughout the coastal downpours we have along with the mud and puddles of commute. Prior to these I'd sworn by the waerprrof bags from Canyon, though I couldn't...

    Confused about the range of a folding bike...

    20" is doable over that distance, I spent a couple of weeks using a 20" folder on my 27 mile round trip to work. Though I must say when I got my regular bike back the 26" wheels make it more comfortable for me to ride, just depends on if you want a folder or not. John

    Regenerative Braking.

    Yes braking force is increased, but it's only a benefit if bike brakes struggled to stop you. Regen will undoubtedly become more common, though this will be based on technological advances rather than a real need (along with a sales pitch). John

    I`m Dreaming of the perfect winter bike boot.

    No problem, Have you considered wet suit boots, not waterproof entirely, but it would have to be some downpour to soak them through, or goretex trainers and waterproof socks? John

    I`m Dreaming of the perfect winter bike boot.

    I wear a pair of Shimano spd shoes, with waterproof socks (£14 amazon) and an overshoe (Aldi), toes always toasty. Overshoes stop the mud penetrating my shoes rather than cold protection. The Dexshell socks I got from Aldi, but Amazon do them too, like a semi-neoprene sock, not quite as warm as...

    Test of pedelec vs road bike for long commute

    Great thread and info. This is pretty much what I have been through too. The ferry I used to catch became so unreliable I started riding round the islands (Hayling and Portsea/Portsmouth) it doubled my journey and with my aches and pains could only manage three days a week. Switched over to A...
