    Advanced Stop Line / Area / Zone - which cyclist gets priority?

    In Brighton there is ususly a taxi or bus in them - by far worst offenders. Normal drivers do seem to stay out (by and large) Cyclist etiquette down here is. First person takes front left slot , 2nd and maybe 3rd take next slots on the right. Anyone else lines up behind. It's then a case of...

    Go Swissdrive + Trek 8.5

    Very interesting post - user experience from this system is thin in the ground compared to ubiquitous bafang motors The only help i think I can give is - don't charge twice a week. Lithiums like to be topped up. Every day(ish) is probably best way to maintain battery health
