Truth is stranger than fiction Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from? Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Total mileage is now over 26.5K, but that's over 3 kits. The current Thorn with Q100 and bottle battery from BMS has been going for nearly four years, so 15K at least. I'm amazed at the (total) reliability I've enjoyed from cheap Chinese components. I've just given the battery the BGA treatment, wasn't essential, but I don't mind investing to maintain peak performance.

I purchased a pair of 36V 10.4A batteries from BMS Battery nearly four years ago. One developed a fault early on, the other's still going. I cycle around 4,000 miles a year on a 16 mile each way commute. My journey is all hills and I maintain 16 mph average. I did there and back on a single charge when they were new, but this was marginal, so have charged both ends ever since. I'm pleased there's a UK receller and I will use his services in due course.

There's a couple of aspects of GCI's scheme that don't make sense to me? Firstly, it is the employer who provides the credit. To utilise your licence, GCI must provide the credit, so presumably are doing so on an interest free basis? Secondly, you appear to claim there are no exit fees, so how do you deal with HMRC's market value guidance (especially as I recall that did not apply to bikes of over £1,000). I do know my way around this scheme, having set up my employer's and now being on my third bike. We also benefit from a CC licence.

I swapped my Big Apples for Marathon Plus as I experienced about two punctures every 5,000 miles or so. I chose the biggest MP (2.25 I think, available on the continent), also in 26 inch. I expected a more harsh ride, but was still surprised by the decrease in comfort, even with reduced pressures. 200 miles later I had a screw enter the centre of the tread and exit through the sidewall.

Hello, from the far side of the Daw End Branch. Never understood electrics on a tandem, I thought you shouted at her to pedal harder:D I think the point is that tandems are allowed 350W?

EVs are like electric bikes - they're only effective in certain circumstances. If you a, have off road parking with access to the mains; b, your daily drive covers a regular distance well within the advertised range and c, you hardly ever have the need to travel further afield, they can work. I'm not sure they make economic sense, given the eye watering depreciation Flecc observes, unless you take advantage of that and buy second hand.

Couple of thoughts; The £1,000 'limit' on cycle to work is the exemption from the Consume Credit Act granted by the OFT. Unless your employer's scheme uses this artificial limit, there's nothing to stop you spending more, but only £1,000 can be 'financed'. I agree with Rob F. Although my 11 ah would do the 32 mile round trip when new, its capacity deteriorated. It's now 27 months old and not far off half original capacity. Allways build in a big safety factor on range, one women's 'hilly' can be another's Everest. Then there are headwinds.....

I was cycling out of the City after a Christmas party last year. Bobby was standing in the middle of the road directing all traffic into a car park to be breathalysed. 'Can I carry on?' I asked. 'You're not drunk are you' he replied and waved me on:)

I'm on my third, numbers two and three being a pair of Bromptons. Need one for either end of the train journey - obviously:D So long as the employer doesn't mind, sky's the limit.

Hi James. I cross the city east to west most days. See quite a few ebikes, but no conversions sadly.

Thanks, subscribed.

I'm not far from the Chase and fancy a look around. Would my suspension free commuter deal with the terrain you have in mind?

MAC abd BPM gone

Phil, I regret I don't have much more information, I bought them from Frank Field off here and his advert included; " I bought this as an alternative to Tongxin’s own ones and asked Keywin (aka eCrazyman) to build it up with robust mosfets to make it more resilient than Tongxin’s own ones." There's the remains of some information on the outside of one of them, where '18A' can be seen. I've no idea of wave output.
