After three winters of struggling to change modes when wearing thick gloves, I decided to upgrade my 2011 Haibike eq Trekking with an Intuvia display. The two large up/down buttons on the remote are so much easier to operate during the Winter. The first time I switched on with the Intuvia...

.....on the AVE XH-7 Custom Urban Cruiser. Swindon has over sixty miles of safe cycling routes, problem is, where are they? This is a frequently ask question by those returning to cycling. This is the first in a series of videos of various safe-cycling routes in Swindon, the virtual rider...

"The Ferrari F1 team are reported as having fired their entire pit crew yesterday. This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British government's 'Work for your Dole' scheme and employ some Hester’s Way youngsters in Cheltenham. The decision to hire them was...

At last, a common-sense alternative to Wind Turbines, Solar and Nuclear. Also, note how the lagoons can be used as holding areas for fresh water during periods of high rainfall. Thus preventing flooding. A similar lagoon built on the Severn Estuary could easily hold every last drop of water...

I sometimes wonder if manufacturers actually stop to think about their choice of colours, but more importantly..the finish. A couple of days back, I popped into my local E-bike shop to collect an Intuvia upgrade kit for my Haibike Trekking. Whilst there, I helped to prep a couple of 2014...

At last, in a town with a population approaching 200k, we have a local E-cig supplier in nearby Royal Wootton Bassett. A friend has just purchased the EVOD 650 mAh starter kit from the shop. The batteries are a bit small but my 1000 mAh Titan batteries fitted a treat. I'm seriously thinking...

The highlights of this year's show were shown on BBC One at 1830 hrs this evening. As usual, I made a point of watching, mainly because of my liking for military marching bands, but his year I noticed a departure from the usual format. Yes, there were plenty of traditional bands...

.....a digital compact with electronic viewfinder. At the moment, I have a choice of two cameras to take with me when riding. A Canon Sure-shot A1100 IS. Good camera which has an optical viewfinder, essential for me as I cannot see LCD panels in bright sunlight. Easy to carry in a small...

I happened across this video the other day. The original footage was shot by Dennis Winslow, probably on a wind-up cine camera. The footage has now been digitised by the Western Film Archive. Of interest to me, because the Ridgeway Route is one of my favourite E-biking areas. Much of the...
