In support of my 'no' vote, I thought I would add this: Research into the readability of text indicates that a longer line is harder to read, which is why many publications such as newspapers break text into columns. (Can you tell I was a librarian in an earlier incarnation?) However, as long...

I have a pair, and they certainly do the job! However, the fabric is quite stiff and heavy should you wish to pedal much, and there is no access to pockets - the wearer is expected to have a full set of webbing, pouches, etc., to carry small kit. I also have a Gore-tex smock, the best waterproof...

Second vote for the Momentum. Mine is recently back from separate trips to SW France and The Netherlands, coping well with fairly high mileage, and proving fairly easy to load inside our moderate-sized car. It is fine on hills, once you get the knack - no shortage of hills near home. I love the...

Recent experience with the Kevlar liner (on a non-pedelec hybrid) suggests that it was actually causing slow punctures by abrading the inner tube. YMMV, of course!

Ooh, nice to know I'm still part of the 'younger market'! I'm just back from a cycling holiday in the Netherlands with my Momentum Model T. It went really well (as it did in the rolling terrain of Charente, and does in the surprisingly hilly countryside of my part of Kent) but no-one gave it a...

Buy the wife a bike as well?

Lidl do a very similar wireless computer to the Aldi one! My Aldi one works fine on my Model T, without apparent influence from the electrics. We did make sure to mount it on the opposite side of the fork from the motor connector; the only glitches come from accidentally shifting the magnet on...

iPad/Safari here.

Thanks for that; very helpful. I think I'll chance it, given the price!

Very happy with my Aldi cycle computer - easily set up, simple to use, tells me what I want to know (and quite a bit more). As it was so cheap, I need not worry about losing it, though it will be going in my pocket when I leave the bike. My partner has a very similar one costing 3 or 4 times as...

I read quite a bit about pannier bags going into wheels, being permanently fixed when wrestled into place, and top bags and front loads affecting handling. I ended up with two Dutch-style wire baskets: light, rigid, simply hooked onto my substantial rear rack, easily detached to carry battery...

I found insurance for my bike a bit of a problem, but ended up with Velosure 0800 083 3035 enquiries@velosure.co. They have a list of approved locks etc. which you must use to make the cover valid, but at least their requirements for secure storage are realistic (unlike some which demand 24 hour...

If you want to/have already insured your new bikes, it is worth checking your intended lock is on the 'approved' list from your insurer. Mine insists on one of three locks, all of which weigh as much as my battery.

Given the number of e-bikes I see around, I can't believe I'm the first East Kent denizen! Add me in, please: CT4. Thanks!

Nice one! I had a very similar conversation with a member of my walking group yesterday, who scornfully remarked, "I call that cheating," when she saw me getting ready to e-bike home after the ritual Sunday morning five miles. She was not happy when I reminded her she had driven a shorter...

Not really impartial here - I tried a lot of different bikes at Redbridge before returning to Momentum and ordering a 'Model T' on the spot. I liked the pared-down simplicity of the design, the intuitive ride, the responsive, 'live' feel of the steel frame, the enthusiasm of the young team...
