Unfortunately there are large portions of your country where the people are very racist and xenophobic, it appears to be ingrained and cultural. There are also places where there is integration but mainly in the megalopolis of the south. French people are pretty much the same and I suspect that...

I have the Kryptonite, the Abus = +25% of the price of my upright! The Kryptonite 10%. The Abus is of course 10% of the price of my trike and when it gets a motor and is out and about would be the logical choice but I prefer two (or more locks) in that case. I am looking at fitting a frame lock...

Next month I hope to grab a Sunrace 11-40 8 speed wide range for the trike. I ran the numbers on a Rohloff with 13 tooth sprocket on the hub with double chainring 32-48 on the front, it gives 17 to 140 gear inches! OK the 140 looks silly but on a trike or vélomobile you can pull those big gears...

You can find 700C DTSwiss trekking e-bike rims for 19.90€ or less. Some Sapim Strong spokes with brass nipples and test that over a month. https://www.bike24.com/p281113.html 140 kg all up weight

Don't think - it IS dead. I don't think your rim is up to carrying the weight you want a rim/tyre combination capable of 150 kg to leave a little margin.

You should be able to just do it with 500 Wh, when I started with the first bike I was using 7.5 Wh/km = 482.7 Wh for 64.36 km and averaging 26.7 km/h (16.6 mph) you are younger and fitter than me.

No rod holders, how do you troll? At least it doesn't make the noise of a jet ski!

As my bottle battery is covered by the insurance I though maybe a "Please steal me" sticker might help me get a replacement now that it has lost capacity :D

Hoses and electric extension cables running along the cycle path, rolled off one yesterday (without falling). The EU1 Atlantic cycle path itself is a danger in places. Second manhole covers, my regular route has one in a roundabout... Chestnuts anyone? Big Bens are the best acorn and chestnut...

Here is a man who "gets it": http://www.bike-eu.com/home/nieuws/2017/10/thun-ceo-calls-for-affordable-bikes-as-basic-transport-mode-10131752?utm_source=Vakmedianet&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20171019-bikeeurope-std&tid=TIDP308477X1D51E963BEFC488FABF78770F464BA56YI4 I totally agree on his...

I am too scared to go to Germany now, I mean with all those sharks around which inspired the marketing dept to pick a name like that... :D My first (and only until quite recently) brand new bike was a Raleigh and at that time (mid 1967) all bikes were imported from the UK. The NZ govt reduced...

Lack of sunlight might have something to do with the suicide rate. At least that is a theory that boffins in white coats chuck about... Light-therapy ring a bell?

Hai means "shark" in German...

I had slicks on my first bike and they were very good in the wet. The gum was very sticky and the small contact patch chases the water, you don't get hydroplaning on a bike because you are too slow. They were useless on sand compared to Big Bens, both wheels all over the place so not good for...

Franco died in 1975, 42 years ago, a blip in the history of Spain. That means that angry young fascists who were of his leaning are less than 65 years old and still in active life. The Spanish constitution is 39 years old and was written in such a way as to prevent cleansing of fascists from...

Not without modification, the steering linkage is in the top of the fork on the left (bolted through).

Sahara sand and Portuguese ash in Brittany: No filter, this was the colour of the air this afternoon.

You have to be nuts to go out on a bike in a tropical storm! I was silly enough to ride home on a 130 kg scooter in gale force winds zig-zagging between the overturned caravans and lorry trailors... Stay safe!

With friends like those who needs... :rolleyes: I thought Trump had disbanded NATO?

Like the EU?
