    Riding home after a beer anyone?

    I was definitely in control. But of course well over the driving limit. I guess you would get a caution or a fine. But they couldn't do.anything to your licence. As your.not using it.

    Riding home after a beer anyone?

    Just to say. As a drinker of 35 years. And one that drank heavily and often for the first 20 of that. I was not hammered. My idea of drunk now is 5 or 6 pints. I'm.afraid the memory thing also.happens stone cold sober these days.

But don't remember putting the bike away.mor why I have a scratch from forehead to chin.mim guessing a...

    RearViz Wearable Cycling Mirror Review

    Thank you for posting that. I had come across this a few weeks back. And it does seem a good option for someone like.me that does occasional Road. And doesn't want to cut holes in his grips etc.

    I see your cheating then!

    As a believer that we can only hope to predict the future by studying the past. I ask myself when has a niche hobby become mainstream and not brought as many problems as it solves. Sure there is more choice and easy access to parts and possibly prices go down and quality goes up. But all those...

    Mtb's!, never mind e-mtb's

    Being totally new to riding a mountain bike off-road. I've been quite surprised at the blatant staring and purposely standing in the way as I approach. I realise I may look a bit intimidating so in the parks I now take the crash hat off . But anyway I'm often with my little boy and still many...

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    Seems the Woosh deal could be right for you. If after a few months there's been loads of problems like your last bike. Then you can send it back for refund. If it's off the road more than in in the first few weeks. Back it goes. But if however it's reliable in those first 6 months you will know...

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    Hi Andy. It isn't the overlap that you think as the 3 power levels are very distinct. If your in highest assist 6 in any of the three power levels then it will go to cutout if it can. The power levels dictate oomph. So for my 17 stone mid power level is often slower at 6 than high power level...

    Going electric, too lazy to pedal

    I'm not qualified to get involved in distance discussions. But to the OP I would like to say that the wife and I tested out the petite last weekend. I had a go as well, even though we are looking for her. I was very impressed with the power. I'm 17 stone. A huge lump of a bloke and that petite...

    Does the bike I need exist at the right price...

    Mine is same just different names. Eco normal and power. And then 6 levels of speed within each one. So if you ride power but level one you get the highest torque but it cuts out early. Stops you going too fast on pedal assist. You might use the latter if you don't want to stop and change power...

    Tyres

    I have stock kenda tyres on my oxygen emtb. I got two punctures front and back second time at our local woods. Put half a bottle of slime I'm each. Span the heels pumped up. And 3 months later still no more flats. Dread to think what the tubes must look like. So impressed I bought more slime...

    Recommendations for heavy rider...

    Hi mate. I'm 17 stone. I took the wife to try the Woosh petite today. I.also had a go. Even though it's not rated to my weight it pulled me up a slight incline throttle only as well as my 1500 quid oxygen. In pedal assist it seems more powerful. It was solid and comfy. And the wife also loved...
