    Bigbear or Sunbear, that is the question.

    Alternatively Woosh do a kit for £500 with the same electrical parts and motor laced into a wheel, as the BB/SB, if there's another bike you own or have your eye on.

    Bike thieves getting their comeuppance

    Yes it is a joke sentence, I was surprised too, but he did get humiliated in front of the nation on camera, so that's something. After watching 'Captain (bolt-) Cropper' videos on Youtube I'm convinced the only way is insurance. Cycleguard are offering me £57 for a £750 bike or £63 worldwide...

    Bigbear or Sunbear, that is the question.

    I noticed just now Woosh have very recently added a "Big Bear Low Step" model, so I gather it needn't any longer be a choice between the crossbar of the BB and the low step of the SB. I noticed that the SB is 27 and BB 26 kg; the SB and crossbar BB are advised to be for big folk i.e. above...

    Poor air quality forecast for tomorrow - mitigated by riding an electric bike?

    Beat me to it Flecc. These studies really have to be evaluated on their specific facts and methods. So often they don't support the claims people think they do.

    Bike thieves getting their comeuppance

    It's worth watching with the volume turned up so you can hear the coppers screaming at the first bloke as if they're about to tear him a new one

    Horrible welcome

    Really sorry to hear. My local bike shop unbent my wheel via spoke adjustment, and fit new parts for me for a song a while back. Might be worth trying yours. Interesting to hear the u-lock held up - I think i'll use mine from now on.

    Cyclotricity Revolver review

    Duly noted - thanks D8veh. Does anyone know of any good covers which work well with locks? I've got a poundland one but can see it just being a pain.

    Electric bike rider run down by fashion designer

    Really well put, I'm envious of your grasp, and lucidity and parsimony of argument here. I think your point about loss of control being a fact is a very apt one. I think that point however can be extended to a great degree and this is a problem for criminal justice - many people are not really...

    At midnight UK pedelecers with 250w motors can buy insurance

    I'm really thinking of theft from a public place. In terms of something being a possession and nothing more, I'm not thinking at all of household insurance but specialist bike insurance. For home and in public. Yes I guess the policyholder could claim it was mtb use only. Of course he would be...

    At midnight UK pedelecers with 250w motors can buy insurance

    I was really thinking of theft insurance for bikes above 200w which are used on the road.

    18650 batterys

    I really meant that it's not quite right to talk of detriment as bad, because as you say, it is consideration. I think you must have meant unfair detriment. Oh I can't remember what my thought was. Maybe i went off topic. I'm all for your talk of doing right not just doing 'rights'. The...

    18650 batterys

    First of all there is no right to the goods. Either title hasn't passed, in which case they're just not John's, or a constructive trust has arisen with John as trustee and the seller as beneficiary, with John's duty under the trust being to surrender their goods or pay a monetary equivalent...

    Crazy cheap prices on ebay out of Hong Kong

    No it isn't, not everything is economically determined, we live in a political society, not an economic one, where the state is run with the object of serving the public good, of actual voters, not of other countries. That is admittedly the ideal but it is much more sacred than you realise...
