    Can landowners restrict usage of public rights of way

    No, it is all designated public footpaths. That's why the 1968 Countryside Act had bicycles specifically included in the permissions, since when tricycle use permission for bridleways has also been added following a submission to the DfT from SUSTRANS. Here's an extract on the position from...

    Can landowners restrict usage of public rights of way

    They cannot enforce club rules or act as law enforcement officers, but if the right of way is legally a footpath, cycling is not permitted on it anyway. Of course if the section is not a right of way and is privately owned, they can enforce. If it is a bridleway, cycling is permitted on it by...

    New !!!Electric bike mag

    Nor should she if she doesn't want to. Whether she does or not is nothing to do with you so please mind your own business. Should you consider this response rude, consider your own ill-manners in appointing yourself an arbiter on what others wear. .

    New !!!Electric bike mag

    Good to hear that there are still issues to come Peter, and I hope during that period you will be successful in finding a buyer for the title. In my view it has been by far the best provision yet of an electric bike magazine for the UK market. All the back issues are well worth a read, the...

    Great Customer Service From Woosh

    As Halfer posted, please pursue this privately if you have to. You have posted in this forum your dissatisfaction with the company concerned but have attracted diminishing sympathy due to the trivial nature of the complaints and the excellent service you received in having two e-bikes at home...

    New !!!Electric bike mag

    Yes, it's published by VeloVision alternative bike magazine and has been good, I subscribed, but the proprietor Peter Eland is trying to sell both his titles with no luck last I heard. If he doesn't find a buyer for this title he was going to close it down shortly. The fact you downloaded free...

    Derailleur hangers

    I did that on one of my eZee bikes, a slot-frame Quando, photos below. This hanger is made by Shimano but is very difficult to source, I got mine from St Johns Cycles. Called the Compatible Rear Gear Hanger Bracket it's at the trifling cost of £2.99. Here's the page link. Must be one of the...

    Woosh CD Sport Disc Brakes

    Trade trick to make it easy. Push a long thin screwdriver blade along in between the rubber grip and handlebar. Lean the bike and introduce a few drops of water into the cavities formed alongside the blade. Then rotate the screwdriver, making the blade roll around the bar circumference...

    Cycle Paths

    There is legislation for all bicycle dealers though. By law they must supply a bell (or presumably an alternative device?) with every bike sold. It does not have to be fitted though!! Some dealers just offer the free bell at point of sale to ensure legality, but many don't bother so it's yet...

    Cycle Paths

    Probably true of much wildlife. Muntjac deer normally vanish at the first hint of a human nearby, but one day cycling up an easy incline on a local lane, a pair of them trotted calmly alongside me for a couple of minutes, seemingly completely unaware of what I was, despite my staring straight...

    Chinese Whispers or the thoughts of Chairman Ching

    Yes, India alone is unlikely to seriously compete for a very long time, but in conjunction with all the other alternative countries could eventually seriously dent China's position. Currently large volumes of bicycle manufacturing are being migrated to other Oriental countries. Forty years ago...
