    Which bike?

    Congratulations Rach, I have a Mistral too! With the throttle it will go to 18mph. Change the tyres for thinner ones as soon as you can - I fitted 1.35 wide schwalbe marathon pluses (for the comfort in knowing that you're unlikely to get a puncture) and the difference was incredible - no joking...

    Done it for the first time....but...

    Sorry to hear about your first ride in being such a bitter sweet event Joanna! Hope you get things sorted and you can add me to the list of very happy customers of the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres - virtually puncture proof and much lower rolling resistance than the big heavy wide mountain bike...

    My friends WISPER

    I get a stuck throttle on my mistral very often - makes turning the battery on interesting anway if you haven't got a brake on! The brakes really should have cut the motor off so I'm guessing she panicked and couldn't think what to do other than jump off...

    How did you find out about electric bikes?

    I found out via my interest in motorcycles - Aprilia used to sell an ebike and so I thought that if Aprilia make one then so must other companies. A quick scour of the internet (god bless the internet) and I found this site, atob and flecc's website - after that it was a given I was going to get...

    How many ebikers are motorbikers?

    I've never had anyone stop to offer help when I've broken down in a car but another biker has stopped to help almost every time I have broken down whilst riding (rode a two stroke 125 for three years that holed it's piston more times than I care to remember!). Says it all really. From this...

    10,000 and it's still fun!

    Woohoo! 10,000 posts, amazing. Many congratulations Flecc and thank you so much, I am indebted forever to you - if it wasn't for you and other senior members like Blew It! I wouldn't be back on the road to fitness and enjoying myself more in the last three weeks than the three years before it...

    Cycling on hold for the moment.

    Mussels - the legend. Sounds like a fun trip home Phil! I got caught out once at the gym by a freak snow storm - cars couldn't get up the incline out of the gym car park but luckily my Aprilia Falco handled it - just! I managed the ride to and from Bath Spa Uni without any issues other than a...

    Am i kidding myself? Advice please?

    You'll be fine! :) I was really nervous too, very worried to be honest but I'm amazed at how you can do something if you really set your mind to it. As well as commuting that far I'm at the gym three times per week and now playing badminton on sundays too! Bring it on! :D

    Am i kidding myself? Advice please?

    Congratulations on your new bike Jo, and good luck with the commuting. I started commuting on a 23 or so mile round trip three weeks ago and it takes roughly an hour and a quarter each way (including all the stops and starts, and getting washed and changed, locking the bike up, removing the...

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Totally agree on the first point - nearly had an accident with another cyclist who tried to squeeze into a gap between me and a car that didn't exist. Needless to say I called him a tw*t but funnily he didn't think he was at fault. D'oh. I actually wear earphones now (not for the first couple...

    Not sure my ebike is any quicker over my commute than a road bike would be.

    I didn't know Renault own Nissan. Must be nice to be a state-owned car company. Is the new Laguna the one currently featuring in the tv ads (it seems to have an Aston Martin inspired back-end!)? See, the only way I could get to work sweat free on my pedelec would be to push it up the hills...
