Initially I was being clever by making a slot big enough to use Velcro straps but they never quite fully tighten up, (there's still one on the rear of my cage) Now I have two ties through the front part of my cage and eventually I'm sure I'll get around to replacing the last Velcro strap with...

Thanks for putting up links that could be infected, I'm not fool enough to click on them :p lol Touch this this match to see if it's still hot;) Please excuse my flippancy, I may have taken to many pills

I use to be a handlebar mounted bottle type of guy but now favor my bottle between my legs:p using a plastic bottle cage mounted on top of the top frame tube it dosent bounce around off road like it did on the bars. Using the type of cage in my link you can drill some 4mm holes through its side...

I remember seeing them a few months ago and now seeing them again with fresh eyes my opinion hasn't changed. anyone sporting these must be a complete knob

Yup at a nice price, around £800 There's always nexus hubs with all the nessary controls on eBay for not much money But here's me getting ahead of myself, I haven't even ridden one yet.

Shame about the distance, that's the sort of thing I was thinking and for small hills possibly dropping in a nexus 8 with coaster brake ( back pedel )

Cheers D8ve. I'm not looking to go recumbent, perhaps I should have put a picture up My UK google searching keeps coming back to the Electra townie, it has the riding position I think I'm after but there's nothing local to me, In the good old US of A this style looks to be popular & most...

has anyone any experience of forward crank or flat foot bikes, typically known as beach cruisers. I've always liked the idea but haven't seen anything like it in my area (Northampton) Now With my bad back I'm riding more upright than ever, especially on my human only powered bike. Also I think...

Agreed, I've cam locks on my quick change wheels (2 sets, on & off road tyres) & seat post again adjusted during ride when I get to the rough/technical sections, along with Velcro attached saddle & frame packs, what's left to protect ? In the vid I see these locks fitted to the handlebar...

As the £10 ones weren't around 2 years ago, so I brought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4Pcs-Neoprene-Soft-Lens-Pouch-Protector-Carry-Case-Set-for-DSLR-Camera-S-M-L-XL-/171900812380?hash=item2806163c5c With a few alterations the larger one fits my battery fine. As a bonus one of the other...

a wicked witch turned mine to stone so its now unbreakable.

Agreed but in a non fault accident it's nice to know the guys fighting on my side will be from the British Cycleing legal team, oh and yes 10% off is nice aswell.

Been there, done that snapped my cruciate 35 years ago and being a hero ( tw@) and not knowing the damage I'd done, I just hobbled around and my knee sort of got better ! Over the years my week knee led to more accidents and subsequent operations, now both knees are without cartilage and...

Not everyone not me for sure. A Not so smart phone for emergencies is good enough, I don't need connectivity to enjoy the countryside while I'm cycling :p

Nice, as a Bosch/Cube owner I particularly like how well the motor blends in to the frame. Built in as a posed to built around.

Sure thing Eddie

OK not bike related but with the money they make I'll buy a small quality monocular I can take with me on my country rides ;) Binoculars Bushnell 8x42WA 132000 A quality pr of bins but I only have one good eye so I'm going for a monocular instead. These were £145 new and are still in...

A friend with a similar problem built a garden sprinkler system activated by motion sensors. He only needed it working for a week before the cats found a new playground/toilet. He keeps the system in place & turns it on every few months just incase ;)
