    Car driver charged with manslaughter over London cyclist death

    This is a very sad case. When I'm driving with passengers I always try to make sure they're getting out pavement side, and if not, I use my mirrors and also tell them to make sure the coast is clear. I nearly knocked a cyclist over in Cambridge many years ago and both my kids DID fling the doors...

    Woosh/Funkylyn Collaboration......

    Now back in Southend after 3 blustery days in Zummerzet. Yes, John and Waspy, great photo of Lynda and me, heels 'n all. Taken earlier this year. As Lynda says, we are not so much concerned about the style as the additions. Good panniers for example, in some other colour than boring black or...

    My review of the new Woosh Sirocco Sport

    Hi Saneagle Glad you enjoyed it. Can see you're pretty tall, so good to know it was OK, but my guess is that this would be the uppermost limit. I' m actually only 5 ft 2", so fitted a different seat post and took one out for the first time this afternoon. Absolutely no problem - in fact...

    New! Sirocco-Sport from Woosh

    Thank you d8veh for what seems to be a very fair review. A brief background for those who are interested: The Sirocco Sport was initially conceived as a younger style E bike for what we call E-cyclists - serious bikers who want to use the bike for commuting rather than for leisure. I was...

    Justebikes. Removal of thread.

    Hi Dave, I did email you a couple of days after I got the invite to thak you and say yes, hopefully we can make it although the dates may coincide with a visit to China. Can I definitely let you know in the New Year? Have seen the Redbridge site, it's very good isn't it? Only one thing...

    Will e-bikes ever enjoy mainstream popularity in the UK?

    I think there are several aspects to the problem of getting the UK to take up e-biking en-masse. 1. Obesity. Sorry, but it's true. Despite the big success of the Olympics, we are as a nation very, very unfit. In Holland, Germany, Spain , Italy and Portugal the average family is far more...

    What bike test-drive policies do you have?

    I'm sure you are very trustworthy flecc. Here at Woosh we simply ask either for a mother in law, baby or dog as a deposit. Never had any problems.

    Rob, yes, you are right. The warranty is for 12 months and covers everything (including battery) except indeed consumables. It may be possible to offer additional guarantee on electrical parts for the second year. I think it should be about £50 but still to be finalised. Totally agree. Up to...

    Spot the difference...

    David, The bikes are still bought with all the components - which are packed in smaller cartons. Should a screwdriver operation which does not require much expertise deserve a label 'Assembled in the UK'?

    David, Thank you for the vote of support. I am not sure that it is enough though. Changing rims and tyres are not that difficult nor add much value when the parts are bought in- that's the point we were trying to make. We already do some of this as predelivery inspection anyway. Hatti

    Spot the difference...

    Flecc, Question for you: at what point does a product deserve a label 'assembled in the UK' or a UJ logo affixed to it? On a slightly different thread, we were discussing offering some customizations to our bikes. I mentioned that we planned to assemble crank drive bikes from around next October...

    Spot the difference...

    Dave, Wholeheartedly agree with you on this subject. We have noticed that many potential purchasers of electric bikes are older people, and many of them have middle class values. To them, buying British and supporting the flag are very important - similar to the importance of local sourcing for...

    Ah! But we didn't stay there. We were in this amazing ex German bunker (sorry, Woosh are not very conventional in many ways!) 3 levels, with toilet down loads of steps OUTSIDE (not funny in the dark) and the sea right below the kitchen window. Truly magical. And getting back to...
