Jerry in fact you are right perhaps I need to cool down a tad. Its probably the motorbike accident I had many years ago and am still angry about the car that done a u turn in front of me (different story). People that say something after I have gone past etc (like i am fat) I do take offence...

I think I suffer from cycle rage instead of road rage sometimes. Is there a cure or some pills I can take? Like chill out pills? I have been cycling to work and back for the best of 6 years or so 7.5 miles there and back. Normal aspirated bike now electric since last July as my knee has...

I agree 100% with this one. The dog is very clearly the more intelligent than the owner sometimes.

Hi Bob Nice to hear from someone in Swindon. You are right about the mixture ie Akers Way etc. We normally travel from West Swindon to Dorcan. I didn't know about 'shared space' though. We might bump into each other one day.

CHiPs Flecc. This is what I look like on a normal day. I think if I smiled it wouldn't make no difference I am terrifying no matter what. My mate thinks I look like CHiPs from the TV series when I am on my bike. Just need some tight cream trousers and a few badges anyone got any?

I was riding in this morning and the cycle lane is divided into two one for pedestrians and one for cycles. A man was walking his dog on a lead with his back to me in the pedestrian area, all well and good there. I was about to go past when the dog decided to go into the cycle lane as they...

Just posted to the times (safety for cyclists Times campaign) even though a couple of people on this website think it was my fault? I am a car driver as well and give due dilligence to cyclists but this was out of order. Probably get banned now. Let the battle commence. Thats the cider...

Thanks for trying Kirstin I will tell Riche to buy a better camera. I will offer £50 for it. :) Cheers Kev

To be fair the last thing on my mind was indicating or looking back after being intimidated like he was doing. He was revving his van madly so I knew he was there and was such a close call I was just happy to get out of the way. I looked back earlier and idicated to get in the middle of the...

We have started the ball rolling and sent the footage to swindon council. No reply yet. Keep you posted.

I know my Blocking Diode 30A Schottky Wind Generator Solar Panel | eBay were a bit of a b*gger to solder and they look like leftovers from sputnik but hey I gave it a go. If its working or not? Well I can say it's working for now. Sometimes I charge one battery and not the other due to work...

I have two different batteries one from Ezee (original getting old li-poly) and the second from BMSbattery (new from china li-po4) so I thought by adding the diode it would stop cross charging no matter what state of charge the battery is in. Might be overkill but with the expense of batteries...

I have just connected my Ezee Torq with two battery's in parallel one li-po and the other li-po4. I used these diodes (thought I better be on the safe side) Blocking Diode 30A Schottky Wind Generator Solar Panel | eBay Everything is working fine and I am now thinking of adding a bottle...

quick update. My lad who knows a copper has showed him the clip said I should report him for dangerous driving. He said the problem is if you get the Reg etc who was driving at the time as it is a commercial/business vehicle. Lets see if I can get a reg from kirstin and go from there. I told...

Just showed it to my missus and all she was interested in was the life insurance and am I all paid up LOL. Just noticed the big artic coming up behind the car on the opposite side. Now if it was a bit later? perhaps I am more than lucky?

I find that Tesco's carparks I nearly have an accident everyday due to people not looking in their mirrors. They just look out for cars if they do. Lucky enough the cars are going slow and so am I so I tend to avoid them. I do cuss a lot though.

Thanks for your comments. Close call eh. Spitburner I wouldn’t know about the minimum clearance distance on undertaking or overtaking in the UK but perhaps someone can enlighten us. KirstinS I know it’s a Swindon Council Services Van from the logo anyway PM with your email address then I...

My mate was following me the other day and this happened. This was a close call and another inch I would have been a donor if he would have clipped me with his mirror I would have probably fell in front of the oncoming car. He was revving his van behind all the time. You cannot go more to the...

I done exactly the same last week putting a new battery on my cycle rack. Lucky I had my glasses on and they saved my eye. Easy done and I hope it goes well for you next week.

I have the nexave rear roller brake on my eZee Torq when I bought it second hand. It was rubbish so I bought my self a new one (not really knowing about them) and it is still rubbish. It is rubbish in the wet and rubbish the dry but better in the wet than my V brakes on my previous non e bike...
