    Which mini pump?

    I just went off the reviews, maybe there are ones at half the price and just as good but I read lots off reviews off cycling forums/mags and that's what I went with and I can recommend it. Personal choice I suppose.

    Which mini pump?

    The small lezyne pressure drive pump is a fantastic piece of kit. Very small and light and has a bracket with Velcro back up to attach on bike. Worth every penny. I bought one for my road bike and it does the job perfectly. Several colours available as well.

    Caught on my van camera today.

    I must get a cam perhaps a garmin one when I have the money. Some guy cut from the 3rd lane on m6 to an exit in last few yards ,I was in 2nd lane and he could have caused multiple accident. Do police act on a supplied video like yours ?

    Thinking about getting an E-Bike

    Before I got my Powabyke a few years ago I hadn't really ridden a bike any distance. The Powabyke Euro got me into riding up to 30 miles or so. I wasn't overweight or unhealthy but I wasn't fit either. I then wanted to ride further so I got a Kalkhof Agattu which allowed me to ride to about 50...

    Cars are driven faster than the law permits on a mega scale in all areas. On motorways when I travel at 70mph...the legal limit...90% of cars pass me....the police choose to ignore it..it is still illegal. The point is most illegal pedelecs can't even keep up with an average club rider and even...

    Now I have been branded a criminal I have amended my signature. I suggest all the other criminals identify themselves in the same way so that newbies know that they should steer clear of us.

    As long as riders are blasting through public areas in an irresponsible manner then there is no problem with bikes that have been....designed....to do 25/28mph. For the rest, myself included (mine assists to 21 mph) then again I see little problem after all the police have been allowing people...

    Well, I have just gone and done it - Kalkhoff BS10 ordered today

    I had a legal Agattu, an £8 motor sprocket made it illegal. It doesn't really matter what 50 cycles sells as long as they state or its says in the literature that it is illegal on uk roads, it then becomes the buyers responsibility. Personally I am more bothered about the thousands of uninsured...

    If you download garmin training centre software and import your ride into it, it will show the gradients on the ride you have done.

    How fast do you go downhills

    52 mph fastest and several times over 40 mph. Always make sure bike is in top condition and road and weather safe for those speeds though.

    My first commute - feeling hopeless :(

    Don't give up. Everyone can be a bit wobbly after not riding for a while, as your confidence and strength improves so will your balance and your speed. As for the journey after a few rides you will remember which way to go without any help and you will probably start experimenting with different...
