The new crossing over the river Clyst is nearing completion. This bridge will link the Exmouth side of the River Exe Trail to Topsham, via the Bowling Green Marsh nature reserve. I have been watching them build this for a while, and cannot wait to cross it! Not sure when it will be ready, but...

I ride a front hub, with slick (ish) tyres. Occasionally I have to ride up a short, very steep gravel track. The problem is that the weight is all over the back, so plenty of grip there, but little at the front, so it spins a bit. On flat gravel it's less of problem, since the weight is a bit...

I'm afraid that's not a fact. Water can be an insulator, a conductor or a semi conductor depending on conditions. Therore it is more accurate to state that: "Water and electricity mix. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, and sometimes not at all."

As far as a device to periodically charge goes, I have in the past used small industrial programmable controllers (PLC's) for jobs like this. Modern ones are on the market that have an integrated LCD screen on the front, are about the size of your fist and cost about £50. If you need something...

The problem with a small battery like this will be current delivery. Assuming a discharge rate of about 1C, then a 20Ah battery can deliver 20A (lots), a 10Ah will give you 10A (enough). 3A is probably not worth having, as it's giving about 100 watts at 36v. In theory, if you upped the voltage...

+1 for child seats at the front. Instead of just being hauled around, the child is engaged in the experience, can talk to you and see where you are going. My son (now 5 1/2) still occasionally rides on our front facing child seat. I made it by modifying a rear mounted one.

http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=11867 I keep one of these on my bike. It's only cheap, but it's small and light, and saves me lugging a Fluke about. I have seen ones that look the same on eBay for even less than the toolstation price.

You will need multi meter to check which way around they are. About £6 from screwfix/ebay/B&Q.

Hi, welcome to the forum. The first question is how hilly. Perhaps give us few examples of the gradients and distances. Next question is how much range do you want/need. What style of bike are you after, Mountain bikes are one of the most common. What sort of budget? At 6ft3 I guess you...

If you want to try out a hub drive bike, and you can get to Exeter you are welcome have a go on my kit bike. While its not exactly what you are looking for, it will at least let you decide if a hub drive would meet your needs.

I'm no expert, but.....if you buy goods from a shop, then the distance selling regulations don't apply. The distance selling regulations give you a cooling off period, during which you can get a refund. I would assume therefore that your statutory rights do not give you the right to a refund in...

It's the one off the yellow pages advert: 'Eee, I were reet aboot that saddle.'

How about a bunch of these, screwed to a wall or floor? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251319232483

There's loads of dogs in the music industry. Examples include Tim Dog, Snoop Doggy Dog, and Bonnie Tyler.

I think the video is set to private.....looking forward to watching it though.

How about Geocaching on pedelecs? See www.geocaching.com

To me, everything looks good apart from the price. Perhaps it is genuine after all. Who's gonna be the first to try it?

...IIRC you don't have to pay import duty when purchasing from Sutton Coldfield, and eBay buy it nows normally include VAT, if charged:-)) Must be a con at that price?

Can't be 100% sure, but it sounds very much like the controller I have on one of my bikes (paper sticker on back with almost identical information IIRC) . Came with a 24v kit, but I am happily running it at 36v albeit with an 8fun motor. Personally, I would take the risk. If you burn it out...
