  1. Hopevision one on front, fly6 on back......fly12 on front as well soon....
  2. sure its not your knees !!
  3. I was looking on the internet one day when I stumbled across Powabykes....the rest is history !
  4. long live the ebike. Until about 8 years ago I hadn't ridden a bike for about 28 years. I then got a Powabyke and eventually decided i wanted to go further so got my Agattu. On Saturday I completed my 2nd successive London to Paris ride for charity with 300 miles and lots of hills on a non electric road bike, something I never dreamt a would be able to do a few years ago. All this made possible by an ebike getting me fit enough to be able to go non electric.....
  5. i use my bike storage rack, just as good and only cost £15
  6. signed 3584

    From the cycling I take it ! strange that you spend years with no interest and now with every bike that passes you turn your head to see what it is....and you spend a fortune on the best lights, cameras etc that you can afford. I think I could have retired by now of I hadn't have got into cycling

    There were other rides as well which I have felt unwell on warm days just with water. For me the sis tablets are definitely beneficial. I really wouldn't waste my money if they weren't.

    I once did 55 mile pedelec ride using just water in sunny uk, felt very ill, on London to Paris it hit 40C according to my garmin, 102 miles on road bike using sis tablets in water and was fine....

    i did a charity London to Paris last july and will be doing again this july. Lots of fruit and energy bars at the water breaks and pasta for lunch certainly helped a lot. Electrolyte replacement via powder or tablets in water is a must. One girl just drank water and just had no energy and was feeling sick. Electrolyte drinks solved the problem. This was a non electric event though but I do find on 50 mile plus electric rides i do feel a lot better at the end with electrolytes and energy bars.
  11. if you all willing to wait and put some money up front in November the cycliq fly 12 will be out. 10 hours of filming,reduced if you use the light function but looks good
  12. we are all slaves to the companies we work for, its just that some slaves are paid more than other slaves.
  13. kalhoff crankdrive, chain bust after 1000 miles,if I had a link on me at the time it would have saved wife a 15 mile journey to pick me up ! Now my fitness has improved if have a Btwin roadbike , whilst practicing earlier this year for London to Paris charity cycle in july.....guess what....the link that joined that chain went flying into some grass at side of road and I couldn't find it,i again had to ring for help as I forgot to switch link and tool to new bike ! Bike was fine on charity ride, not even a puncture unlike some of the expensive bikes with better quality tyres (allegedly) that had lots of punctures.
