I wouldn't let a cycle scheme dictate where you buy or what type of bike you buy. Since the government / HMRC, "clarified" the rules, the savings aren't very much at all. Negligible in fact.

OK, you don't like this particular rule because it doesn't suit your agenda. In this instance you want to do as you like. To hell with the conventions, to hell with other ebike owners and any effect your actions may have on them. Fair enough. BUT WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Oh, I see you now like...

I don't think that anyone is bothered about anything in Blackpool are they? It certainly didn't look that way when I last visited. Incidendly, doesn't Blackpool share the same unique distinction as Las Vegas by being the only other place on earth where it is possible to pay for sex using chips?

That might come in handy if you come across a non-helmet wearer who's run out of luck and been chewing a Tarmac sandwich.

The Korean manufacturer Mando will be presenting its Footloose drive system which sounds like a complete turkey, but should provide stiff competition for Steven Beard's motorised pedals. The rest sounds pretty exciting. The lack of cheap, light weight, high capacity battery technology governs...

You need to contact 50 Cycles. I would doubt very much that this can be done anywhere else and any unauthorised attempt will invalidate the guarantee.

It does seem to be a good price. Might have been tempted myself if I was in the market for a new bike. The 300 Watt motor would concern me a bit though, I think....maybe not.

I'm pleased to hear that you are ok and hope that all aches and pains resulting from your prang are soon forgotten. I was interested to hear that you have enjoyed 40 years of cycling without a head injury until your recent crash. Following on from a recent discussion on hear, does this mean...

I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole event from the opening ceremony until the flame went out last night. Everyone that I have spoken too who has been to the Olympics have been overwhelmed by a sense of pride in our athletes and the volunteers who seemed to be everywhere offering friendly...

That's an interesting article and well worth reading. Thanks for posting it.

Yes, I understand that part of the objective is to reduce the acceleration force on the brain. A structure intended to collapse when loaded in the intended way can do this. Polystyrene used in cycle helmets has a degree of compressibility and the structure of the helmet can collapse, all of...

There probably isn't one. It's a bit like asking for a citation or reference saying that's it dangerous / painful to marinate your penis in in tobasco sauce and to then put it into bacon slicer. It's just one of those things that you don't do. You don't need a citation or a reference. For me...

Or have you just been lucky not to have been involved in an accident where a helmet would have saved you? The risk of an accident occurring where you introduce a contributory factor MAY have reduced. However, that is only part of the equation. Your risk of an accident occurring due to...

The cop should have driven over his helmet. That would put an end to his activities.

A cycle helmet can't lower the probability of the accident occurring. What we want to influence is the outcome of the accident. A cycle helmet does offer some protection, how much is open to debate. Therefore, if you have a greater degree of protection by wearing a helmet, the probability of...

It's difficult to word the question to suit everyone. I think that, "regularly wear" is the best way to determine who is a helmet wearer and who is not. Isn't this what we are trying to determine? If the question had said, "always wear" I think that the poll would have shown that hardly anyone...

Do you regularly wear a cycle helmet?

Please vote Yes or No to the question: Should it be compulsory to wear a cycle helmet?

It's difficult to determine exactly what most of the politicians stand for. A high percentage seem to be career politicians with little experience of everyday working life from the point of view of the vast majority of the country. They are presented to us via skilfully choreographed events, so...

The problem is, we are choosing between Boris, Miliband and Cameron or one of these three with a hint of Clegg. None are attractive options but if I had to choose one, the least terrifying in terms of the future would be Boris. What I think we really need is someone with the guts to take a very...
