    Winter's coming

    Previous experience of using a bike once they have started putting rock salt on the roads is not good. No matter how you clean your bike, salt, rusts and corodes many parts. I'm reluctant to use my crossfire e bike and see it rot away but do not want to stop the excellent exercise and fun of...
