    High speed accident on a Designer Mercedes Smart eBike

    I concur - The video demonstrated the rider showing a lack of foresight and empathy with the dog's probable random behaviour.

    What lights do you use

    I got this Philips USB rechargeable front light after it was recommended here - It still works a treat after a year and since having it I haven't crashed into any hedges... http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/philips-saferide-80-led-bike-light-battery-front-light/aid:642257

    2016 Giant Dirt E Plus 2

    I got a KTM eRace 29 P after a test ride at Redbridge - ex-demo with 500 miles on and I've added another 1000+ without a problem. Just needed basic maintenance and replacing service items i.e brake pads. Best points: build quality & torque up hills. Bad points: None apart from a console that...

    2016 Giant Dirt E Plus 2

    NEC show

    Well done that man - I look forward to you stress testing it to expose flaws - So far really only the control unit bugs me at night/winter with the annoyingly close proximity of the power assist button and on/off button

    NEC show

    "These days even after a fairly steep clime of just 1 mile, I am almost ready to reach for a defibrillator when I get to the top." If you get the chance get a test ride of the KTM eRace P 29 or 27. I tried a variety of bikes at the Redbridge circuit (road /offroad) and the the KTM Panasonic...

    50 Cycles: London telephone number!

    I used to work for a firm in an office block that shared with a co-op head office and it was funny to hear their staff refer to each other as 'Mr' despite having worked togther for decades. On the cricket pitch it would be 'Jeffo' and if the opposition something less endearing ;-) As for web...
