    Climb Everest in one day

    One of our local riders did a charity ride yesterday on a local hill to climb the height of Everest, he had to climb Snake Pass 27 times to achieve it ! I guess he might be a bit stiff this morning. http://app.strava.com/activities/188140924

    Can an e-bike beat one of these?

    I spotted a couple on two Scott (I think) Bosch hybrid bikes mixing it with the time trial bikes on Friday. It got me wondering if it would be possible to beat a time trialist? This is the winning rider of the day. and for a bit of contrast, second placed man and lap record holder.

    What's your average speed ?

    I noticed in a couple of threads that 12.5 mph seems to be a perfectly acceptable average speed on an e-bike. I was very surprised at how low it actually was. My average is a bit higher than that.

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    Clearly this driver thinks this cyclist should be on the cycle path. One of the closest misses I've seen. www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUSJYSGaIQLBKj5U_KYAbrrA&v=XlHQXLI8iiM#t=82

    I've just fitted a replacement for a faulty rear light on my bike and I noted that it said it needed to be used in conjunction with a BS approved light, and went on to say LED lights should only be used for extra visibility and should not be in flashing mode when attached to your cycle as it is...
