Are any others planning tours over the summer holidays? We are going to be taking our Kalkhoff Sahel Compacts on the train to London and cycling back home (Devon/Cornwall border) - a trip of about 350 miles over 6 days. Previously we did the same but only to Bristol. John O'Groats next year?

Saw this today outside Exeter Library. The guy had recently converted this cargo bike using a petrol kit from the USA. Before conversion he'd ridden it to Scotland.

Do you think this would this work? How would this fit with pedelec regulation? RideKick Electric Trailer - The eBike Store

One of our cats trying out the Sahel Compact. Shame her paws can't reach the pedals.

Should be on in the next 15 mins.
