    Smitten... but with a dilemma

    Organise test rides and read reviews for the alternatives you are considering - nothing drastically wrong with hub drives - there are pros & cons for each system but they both propel you at the end of the day.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Seems mysteriosly absent in UK media - I only learnt about this Post Brexit Festival Party Knees up fing on RTnews of all places. I wonder which Minister will get responsibility of organising the big bash? Boris? Will Danny Boyle be party planner based on his Olympics resume?

    EU trying to impose insurance for E-Bikes
