does anyone know what the exact dimensions of these are and where to get them from? I just had my Salisbury serviced and there was a broken spoke on the rear wheel (apparently it had been like that for some time) - the LBS were unable to immediately source a replacement and said that "they did...

I think it is, if you want to go slightly faster off road ;) -I'm sure Norman will explain its use and if you want one I think its only fitting you get a free one as compensation for the earlier confusion. will they still be available as aftermarket addition to newer 905s (and are there any...

For the "electric" bits (and maybe the non standard chainrings) yes, but these don't actually go wrong that often and otherwise the bulk of the service requirements most e-bikes have are the same as any other sort of bicycle. The issue I ran into in Ipswich was other shops which are very...

cycle 2 work. A Government supported scheme whereby your employer can help you obtain a bicycle paid off in instalments from your salary. I don't think BEBA is anything negative or a "conspiracy theory" and has benefits. I was on the phone to the LBS owner which did accept my repair and he...

maybe - but given what paido is studying hantspol and the rest of the blue light services could be a lucrative client or even a prospective employer so makes sense not to get on the wrong side of them.... actually with a GPS unit on the bike I can see how paido could combine this e-bike ride and...

the 14Ah version can go longer on a single charge (about 30-40 miles apparently). it is restricted to 15mph, there are ways of making it slightly faster but thats technically illegal on the public highway. Hantspol are fairly clued up when it comes to both normal bikes and ebikes (I think they...

Paido - I expect you might have to get the charger inspected by by the uni health and safety department, but with most students having laptops etc I can't see a problem. An ebike charger uses about the same amount of electric as a laptop. it takes about 4-5 hours to charge the bike, so you...

seems like a good idea. I definitely feel more should be done to encourage LBS's to become dealers of e-bikes or even just service them. I have already mentioned how few local e-bike dealers there are, despite East Anglia being a popular cyclists region and e-bikes selling better in even...

it is here..... I haven't had a chance to go through it fully all yet but it looks worth a read.. http://vbn.aau.dk/fbspretrieve/14344951/agerholm_et_al._bicycle_paths.pdf

a fair few of the "serious" cycling magazines (the sort you would get if you owned a £2000 road bike, wore lyrcra and rode at 20-25mph normally on your own power) actually have adverts in the back for "discreet leg waxing for men" :D My legs are equally hairy. I am in reasonable shape but not...

Although not quite "China", I found a while back article from the New Straits times of Singapore which explained the rationale between farly recent legisation (unfortunately I have mislaid this). Contrary to popular misconception of this country, Singapore initially adopted a "laissez-faire"...

in my area the bulk of the cycle paths are best for kids and family groups who ride near their own estates in which they live in, they aren't as dangerous from gangs (the Police here are actually quite good at putting a stop to this sort of activity) - but they are too "slow moving" for the...

this was in the Grauniad Thieves can steal my bike, but won't ever rob me of cycling for pleasure | Environment | guardian.co.uk there is a definite consensus that "designated cycling routes" are a security risk. I will always use the road if possible as youths tend not to wander right in the...

what happens if you are unlucky enough to prang the bike or there is a technical failure of some sort? its looks like you would literally get a rocket up your behind and it would be far from a pleasant experience..

I'm of Asian ancestry (my extended family are of mixed Indian and Chinese ancestry and mostly from Malaysia) and this view many have of Asia and Asian culture is is an oversimplified and overoptimistic view compared to reality. "Family values" may on the surface seem better but thats provided...

its good to see more transparency (both from Wisper and the MP).. TBH though I don't agree with their politics, I can see how a middle aged Tory MP riding an e-bike through London is a Good Thing, as its precisely that sort of person who needs to be made aware of such issues as how dangerous...

other than the costs, in todays dysfunctional nation (even if the scheme was totallty voluntary) where the state and the people no longer trust each other, the tinfoil helmet brigade would think it is a scheme to register and track cyclists...

Thanks for the warning (I was a bit suspicious myself!) Shame it comes to this - this is why our country is in such a mess, instead of business people working together to support each other they do stupid things like this - you tried to help out a fellow small business and they stich you up...

yep, they are allowed to make their own traffic laws per city although one city sweetened the pill by building a big light railway system and allowing all the former cyclists free/subsidised travel... still though it was brave of the Chinese factory owner to stand up to the might of the city...
