I have finally ordered my new bicycle (non-leccy this time, sorry :o ) and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival. But this was a pricey beast so I need a new lock to ensure it stays with me! Being a modern dutch bike it comes with a frame-fitted rear wheel lock for which I can purchase a plug-in...

So my sprint went off to it's new home today (sold cos I didn't do enough miles to justify the purchase of a new battery) and overall I'm pretty sad to see it go. But there are a few things I quickly became acquainted with during my period of ownership that I wish I'd considered up front...

I hope you'll forgive me posting this here - it's not about electric bikes but I'm sure someone will know the answer and you're such a helpful bunch... Having made the decision to sell my lovely sprint cos I can't justify the new battery, I'd like to give normal cycling another go and to that...

**** SOLD SUBJECT TO COLLECTION **** Hi, I have just decided to sell my sprint after discovering that the battery is at the end of it's life and I can't justify the expenditure on a new one cos I simply don't use it enough. (see my recent thread in the battery FAQ subforum). Anyhow, I...

Hi, I've been away from this forum for ages, but recently got inspired to roust out my sprint for a few trips. Anyhow, bought this in 2007 and used it lightly (it's done around 300 miles total) then it had a lay-off until a few weeks ago. In the interim I charged the battery every couple of...

Well, there I was taking advantage of a couple of weeks off work and for a miracle, NO RAIN, cycling back from taking neddy for a potter. Suddenly my bike seemed to start making a bizarre whirly, whining clattery noise that started increasing in volume - sounded like terminal...

Hi everyone I would just like to say (and to bike manufacturers especially), that not everyone is in pursuit of the lean, mean, stripped-down electric machine! There has been a very strong flavour on the forum lately which suggests that the coming trend is for lighter, faster (hey, not...

Bad, baaaad afternoon. :( On the way back from a girlie shopping trip to Bluewater with my friend, someone smashed into the back of my little car and rammed it into the car in front. Fortunately everyone involved walked away, but little car has (I suspect) had it. But - at least once...

It occurred to me today, as I gave my battery a bit of a perk-up recharge cos (being strictly fair-weather) I haven't been on my lovely bike for nearly 2 weeks :( - that someone has invoked sod's law and broken the weather by spending a shed-load of cash on a new e-bike. Can't be me - I had...

... there didn't appear to be a "gloating" thread so I thought I'd start one. :D Just got my sprint this morning, charged up the battery, and have just done the 8-mile round trip to see the horse (actually, only 7-and-a-bit miles due to a handy cycle-only cut-through). Now, this is the...

... or is it just me? I was browsing the selection of saddle bags (displacement activity during the waiting-for-bike-to-arrive period) and I just can't shake the image... Topeak aero wedge bag - it's Blackadder's Black Russian codpiece. Surely?! Take a look... Bags - Saddle | Cycle...
