First outing on B67, feels good, irons out potholes across town, as always a quality product which will improve with age.

And what about the mess horses leave behind on the road and bridleways, maybe the owners should carry heavy duty bin bags to clear up after them?

Hi again Shan, big birthday yesterday for me and received a Brooks B67 in black, from extended family. Looks great on the Haibike, yet to try it but have given it it's first dose of Proofide. Have had numerous Brooks over the years preferring the wider ones. Have had titanium Swift, a Swallow...

Hows things up north Shan, got snow I presume?

Nice one Eddie, thought it must have been a mistake!

Hi Shan pleased you are still liking the Quick E , thanks for updates. There is obviously no offencive language in your reports, am I missing something? Can't see where the references to these are?

Got my eye on an Asgard shed or bikestore for next year once I've had garden landscaped, are you pleased with it?

Hi John, don't know where people gets the idea from that riders need to touch the ground while sat on the saddle, your sciatic pain is almost certainly due to wrong saddle height. Algoose is right in what he says. Your position on the bike is very important, if you're comfortable on the bike...

What do we use to protect our pride and joy from being knicked? I was amazed to see on YouTube just how easy it is for thieves to cut certain kinds of bike lock. So, depending on where I leave my ebike I use one or all three of the following; à Halfords reinforced cable lock, an Oxford Hardcore...

1000 mile marker reached yesterday without any problems apart from a noisy chain at around the 700 mile mark which was cured by cleaning it carefully. The SduroTrekking Yamaha unit continues to perform faultlessly and many friends who have tried the bike remark on its lively performance. It...

Sold the boot jump, loads of interest .

Sounds like a good approach, will try that next time. Just thought that some dealer's may take the initiative and advertise a deal up front considering the amount of competition as e bikes become more popular

Maybe the lack of feedback to that idea signifies that the dealer's would not be in favour!

Yes ,my wife has the female version, the light on the headset lights up initially and the main light comes on when it gets darker. Has a Yamaha PW motor with 60 NM of torque. A good value for money bike as is all of the Giant range.

Hi, not used the van recently so not had chance to try getting the bike in but will do next year now. Planning to site the van for a season in the Derbyshire peaks for next season in riding distance of home, about 30 miles as am finding it difficult to get away for longer periods. So will be a...

Hi Glyn, my immediate thought is "Don't panic!" In the past I've often thought I,d made a mistake when buying expensive items but I think you do need more time to think things over. In my line of work the phrase when assessing risk was "what's the worst that can happen?". In this case, as is...

I think you will probably hear less negative comments over the coming weeks as the wind and rain gets worse, especially north of the border. A lot of those 'real' cyclists tend to hibernate until the daffodils start springing up! As quoted by Riesse and Muller.... Ebikes have 'Tailwind as Standard!'

Hows about another idea? I've read somewhere that there is quite a mark up when buying a new or spare battery, so maybe a dealer could offer the customer a chance to purchase a spare battery at a reduced cost when buying a new bike from them? Sharing the profit margin could benefit both parties...

Hows the new Quick E going, still pleased? I had a look at one at my mates shop, a Giant dealer down here in the Midlands, it's obviously a quality machine. It's only the lack of a proper rear rack that would put me off as it only caters for a couple of panniers. I think that Giant have come up...

Wow! That looks great , beautiful machine.
