I came out of Tesco's this morning and got into conversation with an old boy about electric bikes, and he asked a question I couldn't answer. If you ignore both cost and the ability to retro-fit to an existing unpowered bike, is there any case or circumstance in which a hub motor has any...

But you must admit that nowaday's central London's wonderful for the entertainment provided by all the poseurs on fixies - particularly the pretend messengers :cool:

Thanks flecc.

Over here, typically, we have only the recommendation of the Highway Code, which unfortunately is very badly drafted. The recommendation is that overtaking vehicles should afford a cyclist the same clearance as they would to another car, and this is accompanied by an illustration clearly...

That's interesting. Either the law's changed in the last 20 years or so, or one of Brighton's traffic sergeants was talking out of his bottom when he explained to me that if a person is so naughty as to ride a bicycle over a pedestrian crossing, the pedestrian crossing affords him no...

Sorry if I'm being retarded here, so that's charge when down to two LEDs, not charge when down to one like I said? And by "don't charge to the max" you mean charge to 5 LEDs but not to LEDs out?

Upon taking delivery, I charge to lights out. I then fit battery, ride, and flatten it. I charge to lights out for a second time. I then ride and flatten it for a second time. I charge to lights out for a third time. Then I use normally, charging when down to one LED on the...

Jo, if I do ever get it together to print some T-shirts which just say "I'm not a Cyclist. I just ride my bike" are you in for one? :D Dan

OK ... still trying to wrap what's left of my brain round this. If he hadn't taken the pedals off, would it still have been a motor vehicle?

But hang on - isn't it the case that a bicycle is a carriage, not a vehicle?

According to Avast, the problem is a Trojan!

Oh poo. I really did think that after all these years I finally had a real claim to fame ...

And in case it's any help to other Kalkhoff owners vexed by this shortcoming, those SKS long mudflaps are worth having. They effectively extend the front guard by 4", and fitting's a doddle. Remove the original plastic wossname from the end of the guard, slide the mudflap onto the end in its...

And no sooner had I posted that than I got the warning when I opened this page ... http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/10912-unlimited-budget-3.html

No problems here with Firefox 10.0.02 and Avast

Thank you. There's no chance of that. We haven't had a television set since 1980 and besides, I have no interest whatsoever in the Olympics :cool:

Marmite. They're like Marmite.

Well as one OAP to another, in my experience the first thing to do is make certain that your riding position is as close as you can get it to your ideal one, particulary in regard to saddle forward-back position and tilt. The second thing to do is try and ensure that at least some of the...

I hereby lay cliam to being the only forum member who has never knowingly heard anything by Adele

And perhaps not the ideal solution if you don't wear glasses whilst cycling :cool:
