    I'm back

    Well, that just confirms my theory that there are lots of lovely dog owners and there are Mad Cat Women, some of whome go in the guise of male ecyclists. Do you collect all the dead small birds to eat in pies too?

    Brompton conversion: Woosh vs Boost Vs Swytch

    I fitted the woosh kit with frog battery, very neat, battery locks on to the mounting block that fits onto the bag mount block. The frog battery could be improved with a white lense on the light, the red lens is useless for the front.

    Queries: E-Bike Touring in France

    Re handlebars, a while back I met an aggressive tram track and patch of tarmac that did for my wrist temporarily, a few months while it healed. I bought a Humpert Handlebar, swept back, so now I ride in a sit up and beg position, no pressure on wrists, comfortable.

    How Do You Track Your Rides Without an App?

    I use Google Fit on Android to track my rides and walks, there's a basic mode by default and a more accurate mode, select for walk/cycle. It does average speed, altitude etc. I don't need to export anything, I've no need. I generally just check It out when I've got home. It just works while the...

    Bbs01b fault

    I fitted a new speed sensor, doubt it's that but I will test old and new. If not that, what else, is the throttle not working a different issue, does that normally cut out if speed sensor is not working?

    Bbs01b fault

    I got an e21 code on the screen the other day. Checked sensor clearance, no joy. No flashing red light. The throttle wasn't working but power stayed on. I have fitted a new speed sensor, nothing has changed. Fault code pops up about a minute after riding, throttle not working from the start...
