the exciting thing is the potential for how well it works as a complete package. Thats what brompton excels at. Lets hope it doesnt compromise luggage convenience! I'm expecting a front mounted bag which is a battery holder + laptop/shopper

This system makes a lot of sense to me. I have a 13 mile ride with 3 climbs. Anything that makes it less daunting is great. I already know that my pimped up drop handle tourer is faster than my Agattu, these pedals would be a great bolt on that could just make the hills a little speedier, as...

Shimano are the lead innovator on making electrical moving parts on bikes. I wouldn't trust anyone more than shimano in this arena. Their Di2 system still hasnt got a competitor even though its 2 years old! read this review if you dont get it... Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 | Cycling Gear Reviews...

Hey is mr henshaw mellowing in his old age? He loved an e racing bike (it does look nice), and a gocycle! Who'd a thought!

The problem with the kalkhoff bikes is that they all have the wrong forks. The agattu should have lockable suspension, to give the option of faster travel. The pro connect should have steel or carbon forks ie something that gives some suspension, rather than an unyielding rock solid...

Hi, The Tasman model is the real comfort bike. The agattu C is their classic agattu which is also a very comfortable bike. The proconnect is a lightweight commuter and is definetly not a comfort bike. I think the agattu F is the same as the C but it has a throttle option, which can aide...

I use a bike as my primary commuter and shopping transport, but its supplemented with bus, train, my wifes car and tescos direct for bulk goods. If i didnt have the wifes car, i'd get one as i live in the middle of nowhere. If i lived in town, i'd definetly not have a car, but i'd look to have...

Thank you! I'd been looking for the increases house value references for ages! Ps 'Increased social mobility' is the 'in phrase' for too poor not to. It also inlcudes too poor, too disabled, too young etc

Thats my opinion as well. While we dont have indicators we are second class citizens on the road. Hand signals are ok in some situations but are limited. PS:did you stop using them cos the bracket was dreadful? or just gave up on the idea?

Winkku are the new kids on the block. Dont know how good theyd be. Theres been half a dozen failed systems made and dozens of homebrew projects.

Dude this is not the US thank god. Theres no such thing as jaywalking and usually pedestrains get a raw deal in terms of traffic light time. How many times have you been in a crowded city centre waiting at lights and seen maybe 50 (single occupancy)vehicles go past in several minutes of green...

I think ( theres a similar thread running on ctc at the minute), that unloading is allowed, but parking isnt. Enforcement is via whatever the local authority does, so its a bit random. It does sound a dangerous situation though. If its a frequent occurence on a frequent route, take photos...

Your probably right, i remember A2Bs review of the Windsor was pretty favourable as well, with the only real negative being how slow it was.

Most of the way through the winter my battery was showing 4 lights when i did a test. (i'd take my battery inside each night to charge and i'd test it before i leave). Recently injury forced me off the bike for ~ 1 month. Prior to restarting i recharged my battery and found that a batttery...

If you want somewhere to shop try these: -Edinburgh bike coop revolution range is very very good, incredibly competitvely priced and as a company has a pretty good ethos, plus they're northern and so money spent with them isnt money wasted on the wealthy south. -Dunno where you live but some...

OMG! someones done an e-filibus! Awesome! I think i'll bid for that!

We've had cheap stuff from lidl\aldi\tchibo. Its been maybe 25% real bargain, 25% fair, 50% rubbish. You have to be careful what you pick and return it straight away if it doesnt work. Clothes are ok but bike bits seem a bit poor. PS I'm no fan of goretex. I used to swear by it , but i find...

my wife tells me i'm a great big girl so i'll go for a ? :) in truth when i tore all the muscles in my shoulder recently i did cry like a little girl until the pain killers set in.....
