May 1, 201313 yr Author I spent about 10 years working in London commuting from Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Harrow at different times. I now visit occasionally and enjoy it when I'm there. I do enjoy cycling in cities but now that is usually Exeter, Plymouth or Bristol. Especially fun on my powered Brompton. I now live in the middle of nowhere but would be perfectly happy living in a city one day. Jonah, Did you mean to live in a city,the middle of nowhere or to live one day in the city of London? :o Anyway,hats off to you ten years is a very long time . Mountainsport.
May 1, 201313 yr I like the west country, I could see myself living in Exeter or Bristol but not London now. Nice to visit though.
May 9, 201312 yr ...In the meantime is someone going to get some badges made for this group....how about the Pedelec Massif or Hells Angels e-Bike Chapter? JimB I’m prone to a bit of zany humour occasionally; so just for the laughs, I might get a T-shirt printed with your suggested ‘Hells Angels e-Bike Chapter’ on it. Heck, it might even help keep the Lycra's away. Although not sure I would go as far as including the Angel's official logo though - that might be a step too far!

What about a Hi - Viz waist coat and on the back "Pedelec - Do it the Easy way".
May 9, 201312 yr I have to admit that after 40 years of motorcycling, I tend to acknowledge other bikers, mostly for the reasons Flecc alluded to earlier I suppose. It has become an almost involuntary synapse, and I'm not really aware that I'm doing it. The worst part though is, especially if I have been riding my motorcycle a lot, that when I am driving the car, I find myself making involuntary nodding gestures at other motorcyclists! It's even happened when I am walking as a pedestrian. The sight of any motorcycle has me twitching involuntarily. There must be a proper medical name for this disorder, perhaps: CMAD, Compulsive Motorcycle Acknowledgement Disorder. There, I have self diagnosed, and perhaps, invented a new illness!

But if you've got the 'Think Bike' sticker on your car Eaglerider it's OK....it's like having the habit officially on prescription:cool: Some thoughts on the Pedelec badges; e-bikers do it with batteries! AC/DC e-Cyclist unplugged For some areas of the North - e-up me duck e-bikers keep going longer! Maybe not:eek: JimB

That is so so true what you are saying, BUT! not too sure about your new medical invention though. Mountainsport.

You'd also find it was a step too far to even include the words "Hells Angels"; they get quite narky about that, and not through the courts, either.
