    Cycling Cap ?

    A charge on every lamp post is a good idea , it will stop them rotting at the base from dog`s pee .I hope Lynda`s not on as she might not like the idea !

    I wouldn't normally draw attention....

    While I can see someone riding an Alien illegally , the 80 cc bolt-on kit would really cause someone grief . The emphasis on increased diameter bolts everywhere plus the free Tool Kit seems to prepare you for a big engine blow-up .That`s the easy bit , can you imagine riding quietly to work on...

It is made from tear proof water repellant fabric and even has a transparent plastic panel to admire the rear end of your Ebike .I bought one last year for my Classic Suzuki GT250 X7 Motorcycle . This machine...

    Shouldn't the current E4 road show be targeted at customers not dealers

    Seems like the quality of the £2000 Kalkhoff is there Eddie, but judging by Dan`s comment on the front mudguard they don`t give you enough of it !

    Shouldn't the current E4 road show be targeted at customers not dealers

    Never mind how many Ebike Dealer demonstrations are held , to achieve a breakthrough it depends largely on price . The best price figures are £800 and £1000 .

    Bike Covers

    Yes I have a few of the 99p cycle covers for use inside . I have found that mice like to eat them as ragged holes appeared of the non rip type . They met their waterloo with a peanut bait , they were after my birdseed . Good value cover , as are their copperslip and chain aerosols .

    Bike Covers

    Look at the Infinity Motorcycle site and click on Motorcycle Accessories .There are 27 Motorcycle Covers ranging from £14.99 to £74.99 . Argos do them too , but be careful, as some are covers suitable for inside , you want a waterproof one by the look of it .I would have thought the Medium size...

    Do you really want to be seen at night ?

    Take 3 AAA Batteries if you buy them to test outside the Shop, as my first one was faulty .No problem swapping of course , but it might save a journey . Does virtually the same as the one given to me for Christmas which I see in the shops for £5.99 .

    Do you really want to be seen at night ?

    The 99p shop has LED Headlights with 7 diodes that illuminate or flash . For very little money you could really brighten up your ride .

    Isn't it time we had a standard to compare the ranges claimed?

    As suggested by Jason find an Airfield with a nice perimeter road and get one fit rider to perform the tests . Lynda has a nice underused airfield near her called Merrifield , the reserve airfield for Yeovilton . I`m sure if she spoke nicely to the powers that be, it could be arranged . Just...

Solex have now relaunched three models of which the nicest is a Folder called Velosolex at £1299 . It looks attractive in black with an orange seat and comes with a...

    Wisper Plug

    Hope the light fingered fraternity weren`t watching , I did notice she had a D lock to fix it to something . A Motorcyclist locked his machine to a road sign pole and they uprooted the pole to steal it . Nothing new though , as in the Cardiff Steelworks where I worked in the early 1960`s they...

    Ebikes upset Dogs

    This one was a sheepdog on a farm with only heifers being fattened .Sheepdogs range from very intelligent to thick , just like humans .The Farmer did say that he missed him ,as he always alerted him to passing people with either good or bad intentions . I suppose the lead on the nearby church...
