    The Powabyke/Ezee F series debate.. Who will service my bike?

    How to attract older men I agree - the forte is a bit of a head turner round here. If you want to attract the attention of mechanically minded older men, the forte is the one for you! tee hee

    Knock Knock...

    My new bike has thick tyres like a mountain bike that grip the tarmac too much - feels like riding through treacle and definately slows me down. I'd prefer touring tyres like on my old bicycle as they travel more freely over the tarmac.
