    12miles on cycle track Ah?

    I'd use something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKIIDDII-SINGLE-WHEEL-CARGO-BICYCLE-BIKE-TRAILER-/291118880318?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item43c809963e with one of these on it...

    I've got the horn!

    Used it today on a short run, a short tap gives a little "chirp" and hitting it gives the full blast! Only had to blast one lorry driver that leapt down out of his cab straight into oncoming traffic! I'm sure he did a little wee.

    Waterproofing

    I gave it a spray with the stuff you waterproof tents with just in case :).

    I've got the horn!

    I'd seen that but wanted something that sounded like a proper horn rather than a buzzer. The video doesn't do it justice. It sounds like a small car horn so hopefully will command some attention.

    I've got the horn!

    Finally I've realised that a bell doesn't cut it on the mean streets of Bradford, people still step out in front of me, and Friday was the last straw with a bus overtaking me then pulling to the side very sharply forcing me up onto the pavement and almost into a bush. So as I'm still waiting...

    Very Bright Very Cheap Light runs from battery

    Good find I'll order some of them as that controller has a light output if I remember, wonder if I could use some red filter gel and have one at the back as well?

    Reality Check

    I agree with Dave, my first build was a cheapo Asda reflex MTB with an ebay 500w kit on it and I powered it with 3 7ah 12v SLA batteries! It got me to work and back for nearly a year with no issues at all. Now I have a used Carrera Subway with a Cyclotricity front wheel, a controller from Dave...

    Tonaro Compy mid drive for sale

    Yep :). Apparently it wasn't cheap enough for the ebayer that visited me last night. They could buy one direct from China for half my start price. Off you pop to China then love.

    Sorry this one has gone now, a chap from Blackpool came for it. I have a Tonaro for sale in another thread though.

    Best choice?

    Had an ebayer come look at it tonight, then try to knock me down by a lot! £475 is the start price so they could have at least offered me that!
