I'm not very technical so I'll smile & nod at that...... It IS 9.5kgs lighter than mine which is nearly a stone & a half!!

It's not very pretty & I don't know where my bags would go It's about a 1000 more than I anticipated tho - thanks I'll keep the link where would be nearest to try it out? Germany? I think it might be too much 'bike' for me - it looks like the sort of thing my brother builds, rather than...

Yes - life means we are giving up our second car in September so I'll have a bit of budget (car tax & petrol costs) plus if I get a new job I might be able to do the cycle to work thing (if you are allowed to top it up) Has to be step through - I really can't get my leg over!! Sorry! But 24kg...

I totally love my Whoosh Crusa & it has been totally perfect for what I bought it for. & for a person with a disability that hasn't ridden a boke for 20 yrs - I have done over 350 miles in 2 months!! However my teenager has her greedy little eye on it & with the prospect of communting to work...

Fingers crossed

http://www.vancomfort.co.uk/bikeandcarriercovers.htm I bought this bike cover in the end - still undecided about the inverter ;) Thanks everyone

So WRT running the van - I guess it's good that I have 2 A good tarpaulin (the right size) & bungees I can do, thanks

I am sorry I really didn't mean to offend. Totally wasn't being sarcastic; I last owned/rode a bike before my daughter was born - she is 20 this year & I honestly thought you meant that things had changed so much (you know like mobile phones have in 20yrs) that it really wasn't necessary any...

Oh really? You'd let them live 4 months outside? OK I didn't think I as being over careful but if you think it's OK I won't bother with a cover I've always kept bikes under cover before I didn't know I didn't have to

The battery is def living inside - I'm not sure the display comes off, I'll have a look Yes I thought some of them looked quite flimsy - can anyone recommend a tarpaulin one I can buy - with such a long trip I don't want the bike to get damaged Hythe elements

Seeing my friend on Wed now - I'll let her read all this & then sort out what I need Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone Now I need to buy a bike cover for the back of the motorhome (& work out how to get the bikes that high up as the rack is in mid air!)

Visit booked to see my friend, an ex forces engineer - she will sort me out (even if she takes me by hand & escorts me to the shop!!) Thanks guys when you need help in my specialist areas give me a shout (catering for large numbers, early years education & occasionally spreadsheets ;) )

Ok total outside my capabilities; don't even understand all the words never mind how they'd all work together It'll be the garage or my friend the electrician Thank you so much for trying - sorry to be a doofuss!

When I was buying my bike the guy said I might need an inverter to charge my bike when we were not on mains I didn't really understand it then & I'm no sure I understand it it now I have 2 leisure ¡batteries & 2 solar panels is it worth getting an inverter....& what should I get?

Yep an hour of dry (with a big wind) then tipping it down for hours and a massive temp drop!

I did the same ride today - I was less tired today

Oh & the really important news is I rode for 5.2 miles this morning!! I nearly cried I never, ever thought I'd be well enough to ride a bike again!

OK we have a gold standard D (U?) lock and a chain lock both same brand and apparently insured as long as I remember to register them :) I thought that was good for putting them on the back of the van - the man suggested that one of each kind meant two types of tools to break them & they'd...

Thanks Sarabee - I think my basket is going back & I'm not sure my panniers will fit I guess I need to work out how to attach the bikes to the bike rack too - there is one on the motor home but I may need to add a towbar one to deal with the extra weight of the new bike - My husbands is about...
