    The stand looks good but my partner will go mad if I got it.

    E-bikes and Eurotunnel

    I found this, ebikes are classed as bikes in both england and france so I don't see an issue. http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/FAQ/ I want to add bicycles / roof rack / roof box to my booking: It is possible to add cycles to your vehicle, as long as they are attached to the car and not on a...

    gold rated lock

    I can't tell if it's sold secure gold or sold secure silver but you will more than likely need to fit a ground anchor too for a chain so I would try find a bundle...

    got to see another ebike retailer at spin london

    This has to be one of the weirdest places to see an ebike retailer with a stand. The whole place was ram packed with vintage hipster junk. I got a free ticket from someone so it was ok. http://spinldn.com/ I didn't stop at the stall for long as I was feeling sick from all the quirky original...

    how do members carry affix cycle locks

    My current is this. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/mini-abus-u-lock-bike-lock-yellow-id_8203082.html + http://www.wiggle.co.uk/restrap-lock-holster/ = Depending on where I am going I use a cable to loop the wheels too but that just gets shoved in my bag. I also use a canvas belt pouch thing on...

    GoCycle Missing?

    I like the idea that if you get a "puncher" you can quickly and easily swap the wheels to pick if it's front or back and continue the ride.

    Not Alien, but Alien

    More pics, I love spokeless wheels, would be awful in just about every way I can think of from changing flats to putting a lock around but it would look so good. http://www.gizmag.com/ingsoc-hybrid-electric-bike-concept/19301/

    input on bottle battery security/rack and rear wheel removal

    Slime won't work well with those as it won't be able to run around easily so will all and up at one end of the tube, would be a nightmare. As for the rack/pannier and seatpost, I personally would swap the seatpost clamp for one with pannier holes(if the frame doesn't have them in a suitable...

    Bit of a bummer.....

    Not sure how many miles you want to do but EV5 would be my pick if I had the time. Belgium is one of my favourite holiday destinations tho. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroVelo Not on that route but a couple of not bad cheapish places I stayed last year. Decent friendly hostel, shared bathrooms...

    How fast do you go downhills

    It goes into heat/friction at the pads. With the disc it is then spread across the disc and then hub and evenly across the wheel(which then has friction with the road), with rim brakes it's pad and rim an then unevenly onto the spokes nearest the clamped rim area and then onto the wheel and...

    software or app to show gradient of hills etc

    I use this if I'm worried before I set off, it goes off OS maps so accurate enough for most. http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php If you mark on the left map it plans a route for you, if you mark on the right map it goes as the crow flys.

    How fast do you go downhills

    You could do almost twice that with your hand on another guys butt lol youtube.com/watch?v=6zOY9ozfwCE I'm mostly riding in london so very few chances to go all out for speed, I know some do but I personally don't think my daily commute is worth the risk of riding that hard and even if the...

    Cheap for a reason

    I know lots of people who have done that, one guy I remember talking too would ride a ton of miles on a similar £70-100 bike that came with a free service and some other junk, basically said he would ride 3 months then have it serviced and swap the brake pads, ride another 3 months then replace...

    Simple, effective and good looking safety feature

    If the past projects went so well and they are now rolling in money as they say then why do they need to use kickstart. It's really annoying me how people are using kickstart to fund existing companys and just take the risk out of new products and expansion by palming the cost off on whoever...

    I broke my battery connector

    Look up "Sugru" and see if it could maybe do it. Handy stuff if you have enough space for it to work.
