I'm another that cleans the bike after each ride, and another that checks the weather forecast before heading out. I only do the latter though to see if I need to take a jacket along. :)

@Tabs Where is the offensive language in this post? http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/0-15mph-acceleration-of-250w-electric-bicycle.26442/page-2#post-347591

I have also set the date for the cremation for New Years Eve. I'm going to start a FB page requesting that if anyone who happens to see the page, that they could take it in their hearts to light a firework or two for him. Hopefully people from across the globe will see the request. Time will tell.

Such a tragic end to 2016. :( I'm off to get s**t faced to drown my sorrows. :(

Billy always said that he wanted to be cremated. It follows a family tradition.

I didn't realise that you live in Telford as well. :D .

Sadly Billy was past his best, and I reckon that the prospect of being forced into early retirement was too much for him, and that his death could of even been suicide. :(

What a fantastic night for a ride. :) 15 miles 1,735ft of elevation gain, ridden in sport mode for a change, and one full charge of battery used. A lovely frosty evening that allowed for riding over terrain that I wouldn't normally be able to, although it was still reasonably muddy for the...

It is with great sorrow and sadness that I have to announce another death in 2016. After nearly three years of use, and many thousands of miles in my company, Billy the battery is sadly no more. Billy died in a tragic off road accident, in which he decided to play in the spokes of the front...

Plug and play tuning, and off the shelf bolt on goodies does nothing for me. Anyone can be a fitter, it just takes money. I'd be more impressed if it had a female driver, and had been built from scratch including chassis, motor, and bodies. My mates car with his wife driving it. 1/4 mile in...

Leaving aside terrain and the like, I should have added that if I had to pick a hub drive or a crank drive bike to complete this challenge, then for me it would be hub drive every time. That opinion is based purely on my experience of running both systems, that with a hub drive bike, the...

Other than a Stealth bomber, I haven't seen any around here either I guess that either the water here is healthier to drink than it is in Telford, the people less decrepit, or just aren't so lazy.

Square on and not leant over. :)

IR772, are you sure that you don't mean that Scott bikes have an exposed bearing.

Now there is a very familiar tale. I recall that on this Wiggle ride on the SD, that many riders were busy just throwing mudguards away. Not on the above occasion, but I'm another that has had a mudguard ripped off the bike. I still can't decide whether to head down there or not tomorrow...

Wrap/coil the spare cable up at the motor end and cable tie it together. Don't be tempted to just push it into the frame and leave it, as sooner or later it will work it's way out.

SW do me a favour when you fit the display. Wrap the wire around the handlebars a couple of times. It doesn't look as athletically pleasing, but it does help to prevent it from snagging up and getting caught on undergrowth. So few people or even manufacturers do this, but it could help prevent...

Nice one SW. :) Take two for my Boxing Day ride. New front sprocket fitted, and all good again. Conditions are certainly now turning a bit damp. The newly fitted Hutchinson DZO's performed faultlessly though, and saved my backside at least a couple of times. :)

I recall carrying out some forestry work at a small industrial complex somewhere within Tilgate for Tilhill when I first left school. I often wonder what happened to the estate, but would have no idea where it even was. I expect that it has been redeveloped several times since 1982! As for...

I left one out which is crazy as up until getting kicked out of there it was one of my favourite places to ride, and just 2 miles away from home. Over 2,000 acres of riding fun. The downside is that it is for the most part, an operational army training camp. Just an example. It isn't bad in...
