Is this you?;) Edit: This thread has made me really want a Casco eMotion helmet...

Thats me! :) I can assure you that i was not standing on the pedals, and my effort was quite light, but i am quite fit (thanks!) and i can see that my light effort could be moderate effort for someone less fit. Believe me, i am not a capably enough rider to ride up a steep rocky hill, one hand...

Yes, ticks all your boxes, but it's illegal and as you sound like you're female (being a Joan, just call me Sherlock), it may be too big for you.

Yes, i know about the Sharp helmet tests, as it happens my motorcycle helmet is a HJC HQ-1, which was 5 Star rated by those tests, even though i owned it before the tests its still been very well demonstrated that they are very flawed tests, they did not and will not in the future factor in my...

oops, already answered that...

Blew it Thanks, its just a shame i have limited battery once i get that far out! Second battery required perhaps ;) Frank That would mean finding someone who could keep up with the Aurora though... Oisaeaux & Jerry Thanks, thats just the standard iMovie for iPhone "travel" music.

I know some people have asked to see these videos i took on Saturday. Sorry about the shaky camera work, riding one handed while filming isnt easy! :D : Speed test Walk around and hill climb Both off-road some people will be glad to see

I use B.iCycle too, together with Bike Hub its pretty good. Bike hub give you the same maps but with turn by turn navigation and it shows the location of bike shops... oh and Bike Hub is free, but doesnt do the speedo type stuff, so both apps compliment each other well.

Hmmm, sounds like more of an advert than an app. Wh alone isnt going to give you a remotely accurate range, what about rider weight? A 70kg rider is going to go a lot further than a 120kg rider. What about terrain, hills and how steep they are again are going to have a huge effect. These...

A friend of mine who knows about such things recommend the Veho Muvi camera, which is £45 from Play.com

Yes, interesting article, thing is, it's hard not to get very angry at them, as a cyclist even a minor knock from a car can mean death, drivers just don't seem to realise this. The guy did go too far, I suspect he was banging on the side of the van. Either way, the van drivers reaction was...

Hmmm, never minded paying lots for a helmet. Question is, how much do you value your head? Do you have a £20 head or a £100 head? That Bell is a skate style helmet, which might work well for electric bikes, but in general get too hot for normal cycling as it has too few vents. BMXers love them...

Nope, it originates from steam engine output. That formula just proves watt-hours.

The lock comes with an offer of up to £2500 compensation if your lock is broken and bike stolen. There are conditions of course, I think it excludes power tool attack, as obviously an angle grinder would cut it.

Put a 10" metal spike on the centre of ever steering wheel, that'll improve road safety for all...

It's 2kg, so fairly heavy, but I don't find that too bad. Also I don't need a cable for the seat and front wheel because I replaced the quick release skewers with security skewers that need a special key to open. All chains short of 16mm link diameter can be bolt cropped. I've only heard of...

I'm pretty confident in my Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit D-lock. It's a thick mini shackles, so no room to fit a jack in it. Sure, it's not infallible, but I've not come across a single report of a bike locked with one of these being stolen. Expensive, but less expensive than replacing a...

That's it, I'm mounting an 88 on my Aurora tomorrow!;)

I once had a wasp in a helmet vent, I felt something hit my head and poked a finger I to the vent. It then stung my forehead, which was not pleasant. However as a mountain biker for the last fifteen or so years, I've lost count of the number of times a helmet has saved me from serious head...

That wouldn't be because we're always singled out and generally treated as though we're hooligan types of course.
