It would appear Norman Tebbit's "Get on your bike" message didn't get through to the DWP or MoD.

I have no objection to any changes, I'm just a user of a free forum for which I'm very grateful. However, I was using Tapatalk on my Android device but it cannot find the new site. Am I just being useless?

What was the headline? Kiwi pulled over by the fuzz? I'll get my coat.

Are you flirting with me? I weigh about 70kg so the OP would probably not get the performance nor distance, I was merely using the most extreme ride I've done in the short time I've had my bike.

Hi, I live on the edge of The Peak District and bought one of these recently: Freego Eagle for £1300; you can probably get one cheaper either with a smaller battery or second hand. It doesn't race up hills but to give you an indication of what it can do I recently did a 34 mile round trip from...

Just got off the phone to The Journey Centre who have managed to get an 'old' relay from Thule which they will fit FOC. It appears that there are regulations due out which require the audible check to be incorporated in all installations and Thule were just ahead of the game.

I've been told it's the latest version of the relay and they're trying to source me a previous model which doesn't do the audible self check. I'll just have to wait and see. Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk

I have just had a Thule tow-bar fitted on my Peugeot 5008 but now, when I turn the ignition on, there are 3 beeps followed by a further 3 beeps once the engine starts. I've spoken to the fitters who assure me this is standard self check for tow-bars on Peugeots but I'm not convinced, does anyone...

It would appear the Aldi one is a little overpriced.

I noted that someone mentioned that they are managing to ride up hills in 3rd with maximum assist. I do the shown ride, or variations of it, quite regularly and have never been able to do the steeper hills in anything other than 1st or 2nd fr some of the less arduous ones. Does anyone else have...

It's the old adage: if you pay peanuts you'll get a monkey. The salaries of the CEOs of national charities is more likely to reflect their influence in the city, on golf courses and among the big charitable givers than for the actual sitting at their desk working out strategies. In my...

It was only £25 for his dry cleaning. Poo is poo and should not be used as a weapon.

OK, thanks. My plan at the moment, to determine range, is to do ever increasing circles until it does cut out. As it's all hills and valleys round here I can get to the foot of my home hill without too much effort so I shouldn't have more than a 2 mile slog up the final ascent.

So, yesterday I had a 21 mile ride including getting to the top of Roper Hill. On the way back climbing up out of several more valleys I had one indicator out of the 4 lit. When coasting home this went back up to 2/3 indicators lit. When I got home and after washing the bike it remained at 3...

The reason I asked is that it gives info about calories used but as that is dependant on how much pedalling versus motor you use it's pretty much meaningless. So you're right, it doesn't matter about which bike class you enter. I'm also only interested in where I've been and how far and I'd...

As a matter of interest, when you log your ride what do you put in for the type of bike?

A windy day around Dam Flask, Agden and Strines reservoirs.

It's a good tip, thanks. However, where I store and charge my bike requires me to keep its starboard side to the wall so packing the bag is a lot easier when it's on the port side. Plus, I tend to cycle where there's not a lot of traffic anyway. But, if I use the bike for shopping, which...

Not extreme off-road but I like this shot with Win Hill in the background.

Can you add the instructions to this thread, please? If it's as simple as you say I may get one myself.
