This gives me an idea for a device to administer an electron enema. I think I'll take it onto Dragon's Den.

This is true, but being cold can make you more susceptible to catching the infection from other people. The same goes for fatigue / tiredness.

I know your word is good, that's why I went for this light. I think your money and reputation will be safe.

I have just purchased that same light and it was on your recommendation d8veh, so it had better be good when it eventually arrives! I already have an adequate 700 lumen front light which has served me well, and it continues to do so after 3 years of ownership. I have no need for this 1800...

The timing of this post has come just at the right time for me. Today, I have finally got around to making a set of brackets to permanently mount my, rather more powerful than standard LED lights, onto my Pro Connect. I intend to power them from the motor battery via a DC-DC voltage step down...

I'm sorry fatboytrig, but I don't like it. You're right, I don't like those car stickers either, "Princess on Board", "Baby on Board", "Spoilt Little Bastard on Board" or "Fully Functioning wedding Tackle on Board. They are just sanctimonious statements which have no effect on peoples behaviour...

I always think that an approach like yours, a willingness to accept that you could do things better next time, is the best safety device. I've had a couple of close scrapes myself through poor decision making on my part, but I always admit to myself that I was in the wrong and thankfully there...

You effectively turned off the road into a side road. You then rejoined the original road at the Give Way, but didn't Give Way, nearly getting yourself wiped out in the process. Perhaps it would have been best to continue with a 1 meter gap between you an the kerb for as long as necessary and...

I have been trying to resist looking at this thread and the associated video footage because I knew it would do me no good whatsoever. However, the cloud base is down to 300 feet AGL, the visibility has dropped to less than 2KM so I am grounded, bored and have one hour to go until the end of my...

I'm turning into an electric bike anorak. I drove into work this morning and at 07:33 spotted someone on a Kalkhoff Pro Connect Disc cycling past Heanor Market Place. And very nice it looked too. Was it anyone on here? If so I'm sorry if I embarrassed you when I wound my window down and...

And I'd like to ditto what Cyclezee has already dittoed and thereby make an implied ditto of funkylyn's post. I'm pleased that we can all play with the train set again and I'm looking forward to seeing, "eddio the engine" emerge from the naughty tunnel, hopefully without a tender behind. (and...

Well what a shame if these two have been banned from the forum for good. However, the forum is Russ' train set and he can take it home or stop us playing with it whenever he likes. I haven't been paying too much attention to the various threads of late, but a quick scan has not revealed...

That light is a lot of money and with a bit of effort on your part, you will be able to do a lot better than that. Take a look at recent threads and the DealExtreme website for recommendations.

I believe that if VAT was reduced or on ebikes or scrapped altogether, the manufacturers and retailers would steal the tax break from us. Just like the banks steal the tax break on ISA accounts and oil companies / petrol station owners stole the tax break on fuel in the last budget. Greed is...

Out of the 14 killed, do you know how many were squashed at junctions? This nearly happened to me once. I was waiting in a line of traffic positioned about a metre out from the kerb and about 50 metres short of the traffic lights controlling the junction. I thought this was enough to stop a...

oooerrr get you

Yes, this happens to me too. Taking the example of the right nostril being blocked. Momentarily turn your head to the right whilst riding at a speed in excess of 10 mph. Make sure that your chin touches the right shoulder. Then bring your left hand over and press on your left nostril, whilst at...

The main things to be aware of are reduced range / performance from the battery in cold conditions and to keep the bike free from salt, its a killer. I just slosh my bike down with clean cold water paying particular attention to the chain, sprockets, wheel rims and brakes. I do this as often as...

I've seen a light in an identical housing to this being sold by a variety of different sellers all claiming various levels of light output ranging from 900 Lumen to this one at 1800 Lumen. Are they all the same light, with only the level of exaggeration concerning the output varying, or are they...

I don't think it has anything to do with the bigger battery, this problem has also appeared on older bikes utilising the smaller Panasonic battery. James C provided details of one method to improving the situation. This involved placing pieces of inner-tube carefully cut to fit in the bottom of...
