    Skidding on leaves

    Wasn't Barry Sheen off'd at speed once by a particularly large earthworm? (Although for bragging purposes, I wondered if it was just an ordinary sized worm that merely covered a larger area after its fateful encounter with a motorcycle slick?). Gaz

    Electric Bike for disabled teenager

    Hello Frdedee I have a similar disability. Right sided hemi paresis is its label. I'm 53 now, but I was once 13. When I was 13 it wasn't so black and white. I was told I was a 'spastic' (hence the nickname, Gaz the spaz). This was back when Scope was the 'Spastics Society' and outside...

    Skidding on leaves

    Acorns. Acorns are dropping nicely over the lanes and cycle paths I use. The ones that ping off to the sides are fine. The ones that don't are like chuffing marbles :eek: Grrrrr :mad: Gaz

    Winter cycling jackets

    As noted in reviews, they're very generous in sizing. I'm usually XXL or XXXL, but XL is right for me in this jacket, so if you do buy one, choose a size under what you'd normally order would be my advice. Gaz

    Keeping your folded bike folded

    My Brompton M3L locks together and can't unfold. I didn't realise others didn't have similar. I'd probably use something similar to the straps you use to secure a bike on a car carrier...

    Camera's

    You might be onto something there SW. That particular bit of road isn't good at the best of times for cyclists due to the curve, parked cars, and it's a busy rat-run. The footpath has however just been re-surfaced and is pretty good now, all the way along :) Gaz

    Camera's

    Neither stressed, nor hung up on it. As a very new and inexperienced user of this type of camera, I'd like to ensure I've got the camera settings at their optimal on the off chance that if an event happens that could do with recorded evidence it's the best it could be. This clip suggests I...

    Camera's

    Had a closer than comfortable one on the way home: I'm wondering if I should change the camera settings to improve the resolution to get number plates. To be fair it was wet and the light was fading. Can any experienced M20 users advise what settings they've found best? Ta Gaz

    Winter cycling jackets

    I've just bought an Altura NightVision Evo 360 Waterproof Cycling Jacket. Excellent, and surprisingly warm given how lightweight it is. Gaz

    New!

    Hello Anne :) The best advice is to work out what style of bike you want, then what you actually need from the bike (road use, commuting, or hurtling up and down mountains). Your size and weight will help. How far you need to go (do you need powered support for five or 50 miles?). A general...

    Newbie

    Hello Colin :) Thought I recognised the scenery. Stop braking so much and don't go looking for issues would be my very useful advice :D Gaz

    From Lindsay smith . Just joined

    Hello Lindsay :) Post up a couple of pictures of the battery you have. If your bike has the Bafang SWX01 front hub motor, there may be a generic or alternative battery solution that'd do the trick. Your other option is to have the battery re-celled. Jimmy at BGA seems to have a good...
