I'd like a car horn fitted to my bike for use on the roads please. If anyone out there designing them is listening .... A quick toot toot would be a lot more effective if a car started pulling out of a junction in front of you on occasion than the fruitless gesture of stroking one's bell in...

Exactly. At the very least it must do something about the whole balance dynamics. The whole idea of it still scares me to death - a bit like those heavy wax cotton rain capes straight out of "It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet" where you can't see your handlebars, feet or anything once you're fastened...

There's a jacket you might like to match ;) ... could audition for Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat in that ! You're at Elevengear -> Roadwear -> Traffic Master Now I'm just off to list my Rapha team issue skinsuit complete with pin marks on e-bay. Whatever I say about lycra on the...

There is an alternative ... but having distressing visions of inadvertently taking out half the village on the way to the coastal path ! Plus I don't look as good as she does in tight denim shorts :rolleyes: Surfboard Bike Side carry Rack: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

That looks just the job for getting my wakeboard and kit bag to the nearest lake without sacrificing my rack for one of these : Bike Balance Surfboard Rack Kit : Bike Balance ... can't imagine what the British Rail staff would say if you turned up at the platform with it asking for...

I can think of a few less charitable reasons too ! It might be a help if drivers could somehow be made aware that it's perfectly correct and OK for cyclists to take the centre position in many situations and when they do so not to try to overtake them. It does not constitute "weaving", it is a...

No law against cycling over 20mph in a 20 zone ;) .. conditions likely mean you have to drop it down though. The thing which really annoys me more than a bit of car speeding is when they tailgate you even when you're cycling at nearly the speed they are driving, overtake dangerously to get...

Nice. Like the pics. Lovely day !

A big improvement - good stuff. Nice structure there too for fleshing out info. Might be willing to help with demonstrator concept too - but need to get my Alfine gears to behave themselves first (slippage since the off and very hard to tune in; still battling to get it to behave consistently...

Keep us posted on the performance tests - watching with great interest. :cool:. Hadn't realized there was a primary chain between the motor and the chain wheel which I guess in theory must be breakable ... It must be well concealed on my current bike as wasn't aware of one at all thought it...

More pedal and less throttle helps warm you up ;) :D

Was that with the assistance of full lycra skinsuits ? ;) ... as many Tourers do. Interesting that some roadies can be quite haughty about their riding speeds and the distances they can take on. That's all very well on a featherweight carbon-fibre road bike with tyre surfaces like polished...

Agree with the theory entirely for able-bodied people especially on health grounds. Anything which makes walking and cycling easier options would be welcome for that. Do wonder how much notice most councils will take of this though and how they would interpret it in practice. Some more cycle...

Received mine yesterday and would echo what Caph says above. It really is incredibly bright. On mounts, I have managed to fit this from supplier recommended on this thread, which was identical to the one I got for considerably more from another e-bay supplier for use with my 1,000Lm one ...

why is everyone throwing in the towel on this one so easily ? :eek: .. if I buy a scooter it would be at least 125-150cc with a capacious lockable under-seat storage compartment ;) :p Seriously though, I appreciate you cannot make a thing perform like something it inherently isn't. However...

Thanks - I appreciate the comments and I note you included the word 'legal' above. However, I have read a lot on this forum which leads me to believe an ebike (legal or not) is capable of doing enough from opinions aired by others - assisted speeds of over 20mph being achieved, power being...

? .. It's all relative. My current ebike speeds me up relative to regular cycling over the same distance amazingly ! I've usually a great deal to do in Devon as I'm not there enough (garden in particular) and so spending a whole morning going for a leisurely ride and a swim isn't an option. More...

I expect TfL are funding it and it's something they intended primarily for Londoners. But the code info is freely available on the old www so if others can also benefit owing to the way the software is set up (no cross-checking on addresses against discount code application) then I wouldn't ask...

^^ good point - it's British Cycling (the governing body of sport cycling in the UK) that you are joining and it is they who are the ones sorting the insurance. Take a read of their website ... British Cycling / Home I actually decided to join without considering the bonus of the liability...
