    Scott E-Sportster

    While browsing for a new mountain bike, which will probably be a Scott, I noticed Scott now list a Bosch-eqipped E-bike. Anyone tried one yet or seen reports? They look pretty nice.

    Don't tell my Wisper -in love with another bike!

    Pink My mother used to have a 'Pink Witch' bike. But my dad painted it red and we called it the Red Bitch after that. I doubt I would be seen dead on a pink bike myself but I do think it would be nice to see a bit of colour (my own bike is grey...). I do like the retro look of white or...

    E-bike prejudice?

    Car drivers are the worst When I mention to people that I'm getting an electric bike, it's always my car-driving friends (the ones who don't go anywhere they can't go in their car) who are first say, "But isn't that lazy?" Excuse me? And when did you last get on a bike, or even walk further...

    Tour de presteigne - anyone go?

    >BEBA are in talks now with the Presteigne guys to try and arrange a London event next year Oh, not London! Hold it up here in Yorkshire then we can see how these bikes handle some proper hills. Why does everything have to be in London?

    What colour would YOU like to see on eBikes?

    Can we have a choice? If they're all to be the same colour, then I'd prefer black or dark grey. But if there was a choice of that or, say, electric blue, I might dither.

    Helmet debate... new twist

    Sometimes you need a nanny I bought my mother (she's 65) a helmet for her birthday. She rarely rides her folding bike but two weeks after I bought her the helmet, she fell off her bike and banged her (helmeted) head on the concrete. She was fine. A few weeks earlier, and she wouldn't have been...

    Which bike? I'm confused!

    I'm thinking about getting an electric bike, but can't decide a. whether I should get one at all, or b. which to get. I currently ride a 24-speed Ridgeback Velocity hybrid – nothing special but a decent bike that I feel comfortable on and by far the best I've ever had. I'm not the world's...
