Next week my Kudos Tourer is 2 years old and I thought I'd do a report on it. I've done over 2,000 miles on it and it's been very reliable. The only thing which has gone wrong has actually done so twice. The twist grip for the gears broke a few months after I bought it and Kudos sent me a...

The last 2 times when doing a longish run on my bike my battery has gone flat at the same place. I was coming from different directions and had traveled slightly different distancees. Now the bike isn't running flat next a a shrine to the Madonna by the side of the road, it's going flat...

My son bought a bike for my grandson a while back from Halfords, the screws for fitting a water bottle cage are on the underside of the bike tube. Whilst in Halfords yesterday I asked one of the young chaps working there about it. He said this was OK and you simply put the cage and bottle on the...

I wondered if anyone had tried the Kudos Ibex and/or Kudos Tornado? I was wondering how they performed in comparison to each other. I was sure I wanted a crank drive then read reports on here from Redbridge and though maybe another hub drive bike. Obviously I'll track these bikes down when...

The better weather seems to be coming at last. I've been out on the bike on the last 2 days and hopefully should get out a few more times this week. Roll on the Summer.

The other thread has put the Ambassador scheme in most of our minds and today I was out playing on my bike. As I climbed the hill to the main road I spotted a chap dressed in lycra and on a road bike passing by the junction I was heading to. When I reached the top he had about 100 yards on me...

I think it may be time for a new tyre.........

I've only been out on the bike once this year and have been keepping fit ;) in the garage on my Tacx. Something didn't feel right tonight and on inspection I find I have a rear wheel puncture. I mean! who the hell gets a puncture in their bleeding garage on a trainer. As is usual with my luck...

I was out today for my usual Saturday morning cycle with my grandson. My camera decided to drop off my bike and is now defunct. I think I'd best buy a new camera. So, has anyone tried a Sport-Cam HC-03? You can find it here: Sport-Cam Helmet Cameras UK Based Fast Delivery Bullet Camera...

I've taken one of my videos of me and my bike and edited it in moviemaker. It's nothing special, I'm just giving it a try. 1st - YouTube

9000 bikes came through my area today, I was out 'playing' on my usual Sunday route and ended up in the middle of the freshnlo Pedal for Scotland 2013 run. I was only amongst it for about 6 or 7 miles but it was impressive. There were males and females of all ages on the run which is 47...

How do you measure a wheel on a bike? My grandson's wheel measures 20" on a tape but the tyre on it says 24" x 2"

My town, Falkirk, is in the middle of a nice big new project, part of which is loads of cycle paths. some of these paths are allready constructed, they're about 9 feet wide and smooth and flat, with street lights. On Saturday I took my 7 year old Grandson to them. Now an E-bike is a bit of...

Being Olympiced out I flicked through the many cable channels. There's a shopping channel (OK there's loads of them) called Pricedrop. As I was flicking I saw they had an E-bike on the show. A Viking E-GO for £499 + £10 for shipping. I'm not wanting a Viking E-GO but I think it's good that...

I decided to get a short run in this morning, so I did my usual 'short' route but in reverse. Doing it in that direction leaves me a long steep hill to my village. I had a plan, and as usual plans seem like a good idea at the time. I arrived at the bottom of the hill and looked up it...

I got a rear wheel puncture and took the wheel off to change the tube. Putting it back on was a pain but I managed it. However, when I switch it on the LCD display lights up but the motor won't kick unto life when I pedal it. Also the speedometer isn't working it just sits at zero. What can I...

I am thinking about buying one of these: Wiggle | VDO MC1.0 Plus Wireless Cycle Computer Cycle Computers It says it tells you the gradient of the hill you're on. Has anyone got/tried one? If so, is it any good? Does it work? Is the wired one or the wireless one better for the e-bike?

I'm going to Germany in a few weeks on the Newcastle to Amsterdam ferry. I'm going in a pick up truck and was thinking of sticking my e-bike in the back. Does anyone know if ferries have a problem with e-bike batteries or anything?

OK it's not much compared to some on here but today I reached.....

Driving through Falkirk yesterday and I saw a woman waiting to cross at a pedestrian crossing, she had a new looking e-bike with a step through frame. On the frame it said Vitesse. What make is this? I presumed vitesse was the model. The only reason I noticed was because I never see any other...
