Someone I know, and no, its not me, I am spoken for (although dinner with George Clooney (is that how you spell it?) wouldn't go amiss)..... would very much like a new man in her life. Nothing complicated, just companionship. She is a really nice person, slim, attractive, intelligent, good...

Sterling has now declined against the US dollar to the lowest point since July 2010. The pound is now $1.52, down from $1.62, equalling a drop of 6.3%. Against the euro, the pound has fallen slightly more, from E1.23 to E1.15. This will affect all of us, especially spending on petrol, food...

The courier industry in the UK is extremely competitive, and many are falling over themselves to get business. The result is that apparently some drivers are paid an absolute pittance - a tiny fraction of the courier fee. I have heard of £1 per collection whilst we are paying £15 plus VAT to...

Ah well.....you could certainly try a pink lead acid Angel (our very first) in exchange for Tikka the Pomeranian and the baby would be OK...but I can see I'll have to be on my guard against suspicious looking men who come in from now on wearing sunglasses and wig. Hatti

Hi old Dave It IS a bit delicate, I agree, but I think most people understand. When we did our very first demo at the store here 3 years ago we happily let the guy wander off up the road and then realised....duh! what if he doesn't come back? (idiots or what?) Luckily he was a nice chap and of...

Dave, This comes from my (significant) other half, who is on the heavier side..... He says that in his view the problem of spokes breaking has little to do with the forward forces that you are referring to. Rather, like a weak ankle, the rim can deform easily under lateral stresses like...

12xu22, I guess this was purchased second hand as we only use Citylink and Interlink Express? Citylink are OK most of the time (except Christmas, at least two of our customers had to wait in for 2 days) although I don't think they serve non trade customers. For a better service, for which we...

Yes, last time I did it was when I was 13, back in....oh, never mind. I fell off the bus as it went round a corner and sprained my ankle! Hatti, Woosh Bikes

Pugsley I think the issue with your 150Kgs is not so much the motor. The crank drive models that we offer (CD) should be able to cope with that. But as I said before, what may still cause problems are spokes breaking, particularly if you pedal very energetically, the lateral stresses can...

Hi everyone and thank you for your feedback so far. I thought I'd better do a bit more homework on this, so I googled up electric bike insurance. Here are my findings: 4 companies appear initially to offer it: Butterworths, Swinton, MCE and Cycleguard. The Butterworths telephone number was...

Hi Pugsley, You don't say how much you weigh or how tall you are. The Sirocco and Zephyr CDs are suitable for anyone between 5 ft 4" (although that is a bit on the short side) and 6 ft - but over that and you would probably need a larger frame. The 100KG is a limit we tend to place on our...

Thank you all Very very helpful. I'm going to suggest he reads your comments, I'm sure he will be able to do something now. Lynda, I'm thinking weekend after next, probably Monday evening (25th) like before if that's OK. Project Court Barton definitely needs progressing. Hope you've got over...

A customer of ours would like to insure his Sirocco (he bought it a few weeks ago), but has had refusals from 3 companies on the basis that the motor exceeds 200watts. Our insurers only deal with trade/companies so we can't put him on to them. We can of course say that the bike conforms to...

Interesting, and thank you all. Seems like rear only isn't flavour of the day but we may have a little experiment session and report back. Hatti

We are just debating about chain drive bikes. One of the guys here thinks it might be better to do away with front suspension and just have rear suspension. in his view the bike would handle better and not feel 'front heavy'. Others not too sure. What do members think, I'd be interested to...

Hi Lynda Sorry to hear you've been so poorly. Maybe another bottle of rose and a natter with me would help (but then again.....)? I should be down again in a coupla weeks - will let you know. Hatti x

Flatterer, d8veh..... No, Shemozzle, battery is wired inside the frame. Can of course be removed but only for servicing, not charging as such. Hatti

Yes, of course we would, no problem. Call us on (01702) 435566. Hatti, Woosh Bikes

Hi Jerry Why not go to our Cambridge branch instead. Phil would be happy to see you there and it is easy to get to. The food and views in Southend really aren't worth it! Wait til first week of March, though, as they won't get them in til then. There's a country park on their doorstep, so...

Hello oli82, The Zephyr is pretty easy to fold, so you might want to consider it. In a few weeks, we will also have the new Zephyr-CD with crank drive at only £675 including delivery. Its also good for taller riders as it has a longer than average wheel base and...(dare I say it), looks quite...
