    Helmet standard defined

    We say here "I live in the northern part of the Basque Country", Spain starts near Burgos and France on the other side of the Adour... :D I ride often in hegoalde (the south) where the Basque Government hasn't done away with Spanish helmet law :(

    Bike locks

    If you go to Amsterdam you will see that all the bikes have frame locks. It is very practical and I use it even when the bike is in sight and I have just popped into a shop for some bread or whatever. I have a pluggable chain and attach the bike to something solid whenever it is out of sight...

    Helmet standard defined

    Thanks. When the weather cools down a bit I will wear my helmet less, I tend to wear a thick wool felt dockers cap during the cooler season. Except on the open road on the other side of the frontier where there is a 200€ fine for not wearing a helmet... Like I have said many times on this...

    Replacement Battery for Alien Ocean "off road" 350w BPM kit

    They have a warehouse in Berlin I haven't dealt with them but have heard nice things and your battery will have a EU guarantee (get it while you can...) If you can manage the extra £23 you will probably be happier with the 13 Ah, the closer you get to the Amps of your controller the less sag I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes it ended in Urdax a village I like to ride to for a beer, about 25 km. Anyone who wants to come and ride to very pretty villages and drink obscene quantities of booze while eating great food is welcome from November 12th when I finish my contract :)

    Helmet standard defined

    An s-pedelec is not a bike it is a moped that goes 45 km/h under power. For the moment in France that means wearing a motorbike helmet, while pedalling... I can't see why you disliked my post about a potential better solution for s-pedelec riders? Please explain. Remember we are not in a thread...

    Registering an e-bike as an e-moped w the DVLA

    Supernova lights (maybe some b+m too), Magura MT5e brakes and Schwalbe E75 stamped tyres are all L1e-B approved in the EU. In France you need a special horn.

    Haibike Hardseven 2016 STOLEN IN SUTTON,SURREY

    Good luck with the chase, it will be on a site soon enough unless they had a buyer lined up beforehand. Next time chain it to the lawnmower! An alarm on the shed door is easy to rig. I know it is inconvenient having a padlock on the garden shed door but we live in dangerous times... I am buying...

    Haibike Hardseven 2016 STOLEN IN SUTTON,SURREY

    Sad news. Was it attached to something? My bike is chained to the stair ramp. It is a wooden ramp but if you get the saw out to cut it I might hear you and come down for a quiet chat. You will recognize me, I'm the one with the baseball bat...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Everything I have read says: We don't want to pay for EU running costs any more but we do want all the financial benefits of being a member. And we don't want any more immigrants, the Poles who pick our spuds can stay but they won't be getting any more benefits. Sounds like a screaming tantrum...
