    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    I was out for a ride yesterday on a pedestrian/cycle path, nice weather with lots of people out walking. I saw in the distance a bike coming towards me and pedestrians scattering as it sped along at quite a speed down the middle of the path. When it got close to me I could see it was an electric...

    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    “living in the wrong side of town, in poverty”. Give me a break. How can you say they live in poverty when the parents bought him a £4000 bike? I agree nobody deserves to lose their life just for riding a bike illegally. That would be pertinent had they been killed by somebody for doing so but...

    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    All pure conjecture on your part. You don’t know what the police intended to do any more than I do. When does following become chasing? I had a police car behind me this morning, was he following me or chasing? The only fact I know is if they had just pulled over instead of riding dangerously...

    Two boys die in "ebike" accident: Cardiff riot broke out after 'police prevented parents seeing fatal crash victims', close relative says

    Everybody blaming the police for following them. Isn’t that their job? They weren’t behind them when the crash happened, the police had turned down a different road and were half a mile away at the time of the crash. Ultimately, the parents must take responsibility. They bought the bike for the...

    What do you think about being paid to report parking in cycle lanes

    It is something they are proposing in New York. Would it work here?

    Navigation with Bosch Nyon and Komoot

    I have the latest Nyon display and find using it for navigation is very hit and miss. It often tries to take me on footpaths, over fields and even routes where bikes are not allowed. It doesn’t seem to consider using National Cycle Routes which I would have thought would be the most obvious if...

    Another ebike prosecution pending !

    I noticed my Bosch CX starts reducing power at 15.5mph but doesn’t completely cut out until 16.6mph. I did wonder how they got away with that and now I know.

    Durable Mountain/City Bike around £2000-3000.

    Cube Kathmandu range would fit your needs. The Pro range have the Bosch Performance CX with 85nm torque that will eat up hills. If you get it with the 625 battery that should give you enough range for a return journey provided you don’t do it all in Turbo, and should be at the top end of your...

    Advice about an E-Bike

    I’m not sure what their models are but they are both rear hub motors. I have a Cube Kathmandu Pro 625 that has no problem with even the worst hills. I would recommend a mid drive such as the Bosch CX4 or equivalent with at least 80nm torque and a good gear range. That’s why I suggested a Cube...

    Advice about an E-Bike

    I disagree. I have two friends with eBikes who can’t get up some hills that mine handles fine.

    Halford's ebikes

    It might be worth asking if you can use the voucher with Tredz who are owned by Halfords and often are included in Cycle to Works schemes where Halfords are the preferred supplier. Tredz offer a much wider range of bikes than Halfords and seem to be their higher level shop.

    Anyone know who has Cube Bag Rail 2.0 stock in the UK?

    I have a Cube Kathmandu Hybrid 625 Pro which has a pannier rack but, unfortunately, Cube decided to change the one they put on there from the older models and you can only fit either a trunk bag or panniers but not both as the pannier clips interfere with the seating of the trunk bag. I found...

    Cyclists avoiding cycle lanes

    I live in a rural area so don’t have cycle lanes, just country lanes which have their own hazards, but when I venture into the city, my nearest are Newport and Cardiff, I tend to stick to the cycle lanes when they are available which, in the most part, are pretty good. However, I’m on a hybrid...

    Dumb pedestrian

    I think the main factor in that case is that his brakes were not operational not that he just shouted a warning but I do agree, all road users, including pedestrian, have a responsibility to others. I just worry that many people seem to think that the new rules absolve pedestrians of any...
