Pic 2 ; "Caen hill licks cafe" - did you have an ice cream? :)

I fitted a set of those 50s bars to mine and it transformed the riding position to something I was comfortable with. The only slight drawback is the rake angle of the mtb frame - it's a bit quick on the steering and the original flat bars suited that better, with more weight on the arms...

The judge was biased and the jury was bought or fixed, in my opinion. Funnily enough, it's also the opinion of a few others with no axe to grind.

Hmm... be interesting to find a Hardly that actually did 100K on a belt. I suspect their money was safe there. Otoh, I can point to several Scottoilered chains that were well on their way to that. Your observation about 'oil spraying everywhere' is indicative of a careless /clueless owner who...

You've not used a Scottoiler then. With a modicum of care, a chain will easily last 30K, I've known 60K and still going strong and unworn on one bike belonging to a courier. The longest one of mine was 40K and the bike was sold with that chain still on it, having been adjusted once in its lifetime.

Oh, that will be efficient, then.

Ahah, gotcha. One must be sure of one's gender.

Ah, now; I had similar thoughts about my GP of old and it turned out he spent a month every year doing volunteer work in parts furrin where medics are few and far between.

Total pita starting up and leaving fumes everywhere. Fwiw, I know a couple of people with small estates and an electric bicycle would suit them perfectly. They have mentioned that the overall costs and maintenance of a Landy or similar just to run around from one field to another eyeballing...

Well, I finally saw this week's episode, this morning. What an improvement - if they can keep this up until the end of the series, I'll look forward to the next one. I enjoyed various aspects of it, even the two commutes (especially as I used to love towpath riding - apart from the flaming...

No need for that at all. Please conduct yourself with a modicum of decorum.

Most of the dogs around here on the country lanes definitely don't like bicycles, as I've seen when riding unpowered, but the whine of the motor sends some of them into a paroxysm of rage. I think the sight of a human on a bicycle is just un-natural to them, but if the noise is added to that...

Good gawd - crisps or Harry Ramsden's?

It took all my effort and motor speed to outpace a particularly nasty pooch this morning. I tell you, that little sheet was determined to have a bite at my ankle. Hah, 26mph fair knackered him, though.

Huh. Met in "useless twits" shocker.

With lithium based batteries - always top them up, they last longer, much longer on short charge cycles.

The first episode was execrable, but it certainly got better in ep2; I'm just about to watch ep 3 from last week and last night's is on disc. I keep forgetting it's on but luckily the EPG/timer catches it for me. edit And I've just discovered that last night's was the first of the one-hour...

Another (major) advantage is the use of small, cheap, light aeromodeller motors - have you seen how cheap an impressively powerful motor can be? The hassle is in gearing it down, as they note in the article. There's nothing new there; they're merely building on (and it reads as if taking the...

That's an impressive percentage, by any measure.
