    Heated waistcoat

    For anyone after some serious kit, Gerbing are the market leaders in terms of quality and I can personally recommend them.

    E-bike Of The Year

    True. From my experience, the key factor on a road or race motorcycle is the amount of 'unsprung' weight (wheels, brakes, etc). Reduce that and you give yourself a good chance of improving handling. Given decent suspension, sprung weight seems less important. Probably irrelevant to e-bikes though.

    E Bikes And Sat Navs

    I have had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 for a couple of weeks (I didn't pay nearly that much for it!) and am using it with Wayfinder software and one of these little beauties in my coat pocket. It works a treat on the Torq, on foot, on the motorbike and in the car. Also excellent linked to the...

    How 50cycles EV company works.

    I would disagree only to the extent that eZee (Mr Ching) retain an excellent reputation for both the quality of their product and the service they have provided under very difficult circumstances. My own experience of Mr Ching shipping a free battery to me from China at his own expense and with...

    Cyclist v bus (cyclist survives)

    He was seriously lucky that the bus driver, firstly kept his foot on the brake and, secondly, didn't have ABS, otherwise that wheel would have run straight over him.

    A refusal often offends

    Not your fault, you're just doing your job, but my heart always sinks a little when I see that kind of statement. Still, there is a great deal to be said for a clear policy. With no necessity in law, I just wish we could have that policy predicated upon common sense, rather than insurance...

    A refusal often offends

    The two key phrases in the law are 'reasonably practicable' and 'a programme of planned inspection and testing of portable appliances'. There are, in fact, no laws on PAT testing, it is merely an easy way to comply with the requirements. That being the case there is no requirement that every...
