    Woosh Sirocco 2 vs CD vs CDL vs Big Bear

    In your prime and a perfect weight then. I'm still searching for this 10/15% hill? even Taddington bypass is only 5% according to this. http://app.strava.com/segments/1364161

    OK non-cyclist.

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    None cyclists make cycle paths, and none cyclists make comments like your earlier ones. I'd like to think that your view will change once you actually start riding a bike.

    Just checked your link and the comments are on that page below the video :confused:

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    I don't agree. Sticking a few signs up on a pavement just isn't good enough by a long way. Now if they made proper cycle lanes with priority at all junctions and no pedestrians, and also kept the cycle lane clean, then and only then could I agree with your point of view.

    Missed this sorry, yes to me it is, I much prefer to behave in the same way normal traffic does, you're predictable to other motorists then, and therefore in my view safer, and treated equally and with respect from the decent motorists.

    Woosh Sirocco 2 vs CD vs CDL vs Big Bear

    Steep hills on the A6! come on the main roads in Staffordshire have steeper hills :p unless you have to come up Taddington bypass every day? My friend has a CD, I've only had one ride, but found the gear-changes brutal if you tried to change gear on a hill. Even though I love my Bosch crank...

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    If you want to ride on the cycle path that's fine, you do so. I just never want to see a time when we're compelled to do so.

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    I wasn't calling you a none cyclist, I was referring to the comments in the link. It's in the quoted text above my comment. http://www.caravantimes.co.uk/news/people/human-interest/forest-of-dean-caravans-fires-driver-after-cyclist-near-miss-is-caught-on-film-$21384068.htm

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    Exactly, and in any link like that, it is always sad to see the reaction and attitude of none cyclists to these events. If it means riding in the way you do, then no thanks I'll take my chances on the road. I mean no offence by this, but found your video faintly ridiculous. and that's what...

    Test: Ebike against lycra racer.

    That's only a rough guide, some of us are fast beaters, so we have a huge range to call on, mine goes from 50 to 190.

    One reason I don't like cycle paths

    It sounds like you think that because the footpath has those blue signs the driver's behaviour is somehow acceptable o_O Of course the footpath is OK to ride on, but that doesn't mean you should or have to use it.

    Anorexic in recovery :)

    Hopefully the motor will kick in quickly as you start to pedal, there will be a short delay, and that's when you will really feel the weight of the bike. and there will be a delay in the motor stopping when you stop pedalling, so remember the brake will stop the motor instantly. Good luck, have...

    You need somewhere quiet to practice, I've been riding bikes since a very young un, so riding comes easily. Is this the bike? http://www.sportsdirect.com/e-co-electric-bike-933004 An elderly friend had a folding e-bike and when he set off on a slight incline gravity took him to one side before...
