I always liked loose toe clips in the past. At the beginning of lockdown a mate gave me an exercise bike with hybrid cleat/flat pedals on it. Swapped them onto my ebike, drilled and tapped studs on the plain side and then got a pair of s/h mtb clipless shoes off eBay. Most impressed. Tweaked the...

A 2nd hand bike of your choice and a bafang kit would come within your price. I'm very happy with the BBs01b mid motor I fitted to my hybrid.

Ouch. I had a tram line leap out and grab my front wheel a year ago. I had cycling gloves on, but one gripped the road while my arm kept going, resulting in a bad sprain. I think it would have been worse with 30kg extra on my back. It was 6 months before it was healed. Maybe its safer to put...

I fitted a bbs01b kit, I put a split feed connector on the battery output, routed through a switch and fuse, to run front and rear/brake lights, usb socket, horn. It would be easy enough to add an appropriate 12v converter and socket. Kits might be more adaptable, no hidden wiring, canbus etc.

I went for a mid-motor, more capable on bridleways and tracks in the hilly Pennines around me, using the gears.

My helmet will fit over the hood of my paramo cycling jacket, I stay warm and dry.

If your balls are red it's time to worry.

Not good if you are a brass monkey.

When fitting the new bearing stick it in the freezer for a while to shrink it. Less heat needed in the casing then.

Note to self, don't enter any contracts or deals with any quitter who is happy to renege on deals and agreements that have been signed and sealed.

Having been part of the rule making for countries outside the EU, we knew exactly what the position would be on the outside. We also agreed to the GFA. No use crying now, Boris smashed your milk bottle. Maybe 10 years and NI be back where it belongs, by the will of the people.

Another brexit lie surfaces. They just can't help it. More people voted in the 1992 general election than the 2016 EU referendum, so no, it wasn't the biggest democratic vote ever held. Awaits whining tone "but that's not what I meant". Like the Battlebus 350m.

Pass the bill to any mates or family who voted brexit. Why should you pay for their whims.

Not seen anyone with a cycling Cape for years. Got one for my 13th birthday.

Something to chew on, if you are following the Tour De Yorkshire route... Ebike gum. Sorry!

I just treated myself to a set of ortlieb classics, they came with adapters to fit a variety of rack tube sizes.

Might need a bracket fabricating, mine is fitted on the carrier, with microswitches on the brakes to work the brake light.

I wonder what effect the coming "right to repair" laws will have on Bosch motors and batteries?

I wish mine pulled a wheelie!

I fitted a Bbs01b mid drive to my hybrid 29, it's great, suits me and it will do what you want. I have fine control over how much assistance I get, I chose 9 power levels instead of 3 or 5. Some of the bridleways round here have steep sections so I fitted a 44t front ring instead of the 46, a...
