I was considering helmet wearing from the personal point of view. What downside is there if you are compelled to wear a helmet? None that I can see beyond the initial expense. They are not uncomfortable & don't obstruct vision. They protect you from serious injury. What's not to like? A small...

I asked for a link to evidence that proves cycle helmets do not reduce head injuries. You are pulling that politician's trick of avoiding an uncomfortable answer by answering another question that was not asked in the first place. You still haven't answered as to why wearing a helmet is so...

Over 43 million adults have been vaccinated including an overwhelming majority of those in their 80s, 90s & 100+. It's unsurprising that a small number have died soon after receiving the vaccine. Around 1700 people die from all causes every day while 600K are receiving a vaccination. What does...

Are people really still trotting out this nonsense like they did with regard to compulsory motorcycle helmets & seatbelts?

There are already laws in place to mitigate the risks of those harms but most of them can't be fixed with a binary law ie wearing legal but not wearing illegal which has worked so well with motorcycle helmets & seatbelts. I would however make vaccination against COVID-19 compulsory because...

Do you have a link to evidence that proves cycle helmets do not reduce head injuries because I have plenty of evidence that they do. What is the problem that you personally have with wearing a helmet? Are they uncomfortable or cissy or what?

You can ignore the evidence all you like. It's indisputable that wearing a cycle helmet drastically reduces serious head injuries. If you want to risk your brain then I don't & I don't think the NHS should be treating a serious avoidable issue like this never mind the cost to taxpayers of long...

She is waiting to ride it. We are in France for the next few weeks. We had the bike delivered to her parents. I will report back when we are back when we are back in the UK & out of self-isolation on 16th July. I have been really impressed with my Wisper 705 Torque. It's the best e-bike I have...

Personally I would make cycle helmets compulsory as the evidence is overwhelming that they protect the wearer from serious head injury. There is no downside to wearing a helmet...

My wife is 5'1' & loves her Woosh Petite but unfortunately they don't make it any more. We just bought her a Wisper 705 Torque with 24" wheels. I just bought a used Wisper 705 Torque & the torque sensor is a revelation after a couple of years of e-bikes with a cadence sensor...

There is good evidence that wearing a helmet reduces or eliminates head injuries for cyclists. I'm an A&E consultant & I always wear a helmet. 90% of the time I go cycling with my wife & we both wear a Sena R1 helmet which have a fantastic Bluetooth intercom system. They cost £100 but are...

I was considering ordering direct from your website a Wisper 705 Torque 24" for my wife which is said to be on back order with delivery in June. Is that delivery date guaranteed? I don't want to shell out the best part of £2,000 only to discover that the delivery date turns out to be delayed by...

Thanks for the suggestions. The Poco looks nice although not in stock at present.

Thanks. Your Wisper 705 looks nice but I think it's the 24" wheels that make all the difference for her.

Is that a recommendation? An advantage of a top box for holding your helmet is if it’s raining

Is that a recommendation? I already found that one by Googling.

My wife is 5'1" (155cm) & finds her Woosh Petite fits her perfectly. We are looking for a second e-bike to keep at our second home but unfortunately Woosh no longer sell the Petite. Does anyone have any recommendation for a step though e-bike that would suit someone smaller than average?

It's quite common to have a lockable top box on a motorbike. Many e-bikes have a rear rack for the battery but I don't see any with top boxes but I see that they are available. Years ago when I was mad enough to ride a Norton Commando I had a top box on it that took two full face helmets which...

I have a Thule two bike tow bar mounted bike carrier. When I've carried just one bike I've put it on nearest to the car but I don't see any reason why either position wouldn't be OK.

Brilliant! As soon as I read this I knew it had to be the answer. I hadn't loosened the handlebars but I'm guessing that the removals guys had. All our worldly goods were in store for three weeks in between completion & moving out of our old house & moving into the new one. I've just nipped down...
