My god how I hate time wasters, loaded the bike onto my truck in the pouring rain to let some body try it. No out of my way as I was going close by, but a 160 mile round trip in the pouring rain. When we get there he offered £800. And then made every excuse not to buy, it doesn't have disk...

I had a look at the cheap bike and it just looks wrong, the farm looks odd and so do the decals and the price is ridiculous. Still if something is too good to be true it normally is.

Must admit it is very well put together and as I said I'm open to offers so long as the are sensible

I agree, it just doesn't look right at all and when you check the sellers feedback he has none at all. My wife's bike is genuine and I have the original receipt from the e bike shop in Cambridge. Obviously there is some wiggle room on the price but with only about 450 miles or 699km on the...

Hi grey, I have had a look on Amozon but could not find one, what search did you make. My e-mail is foxy60@icloud.com, if you want to send me a phone number I will ring you back and we can chat about it, so much easier than messages. Regards Phil

my wife's ave TH5 e-bike is for sale, purchased new in June 2013. It has covered just 699 km from new and is in perfect working order, there are a few small marks from being fitted on bike racks. It has been stored in my garage for 18 months due to ill health. Cost new £1,899.00 and we are...

Hi, I think Data tag is a good idea, do every thing you can to deter people from taking your bike, it is your responsibility at the end of the day. I have data tag and a very good gold standard lock, if some ass hole wants your bike enough they will take it. If a company is going to give you a...

How hard is it for the idiots in Westminster, get a bike, go to Holland, open eyes, see don't just look, back on ferry, put what they have learnt into action = safe cycling. Hey that isn't going to happen in reality it would be. Get a bike, go to Holland, enjoy local hospitality, wake up with...

It really does work, it's an old trick from my biking days, that the ones with big V twin motors as big as a cars.

One tip for getting waterproof trousers on at the side of the road without taking your shoes of. Carry a supermarket carrier bag with you, put it on over your shoes and then put the trousers on. The bag just slides through the trousers, where your shoes would snog on the waterproof coating. I...

I agree totally with what you say, but I make sure that I am very visible, high vis, good 200 lum front lights, same at the rear 2 flashing + the built in lights. I do this as my commute in the winter is down very fast unlit A roads and B roads. I have not even had a close call as cars and...

Depends what you want, a scrappy DIY job or the professional job. Just remember you get what you pay for in this life.

Hi, I have been asked by my wife if she can change the colour of her bike and I have just been in touch with a company in Huntingdon. They have quoted me £210.00 +vat for a plain colour wrap, they also do fancy colours i.e. graduated and even heat colour change. If I take this up I will give...

Had a reply from Colin this morning, seems his phone line is down and they will post me the missing November issue. All's well that ends well. Phil

Thanks for that, I have just e mailed Colin. Phil

I have tried contacting them from the e mail link on their website, I will update if I get an answer Phil

Hi, I took out a subscription at the show, as it was a package with Cycling World. But neither magazine has arrived and now cycling worlds phone number is not working, even the fax line just rings out. I have spoken to them in the last 2 weeks but just got a lame excuse that the editor was in...

Hi Phil, I am a great believer that you get what you pay for and always buy the best that I can depending on budget. I have recently purchased 2 new electric bikes, one an AVE step through for my wife and a Kalkhoff for myself. I know they are expensive but so far we have not found a single...

Thanks for the advice, it all helps to keep the batteries in good condition. At the moment I am getting between 50 & 65 miles from a single charge, depending on how many hills there are. Thanks Phil

Hi, We have got 2 Bosch drive bikes and I am not sure what is the best way to look after them. I usually re charge my 400 w battery when I have between 10 and 20 miles left on the read out, depending how far I need to go the next day. My wife charges her 300w battery when it has been used a...
