You're quite right. I've lived with a chronic illness for seven years now, and whilst it isn't getting any worse it also isn't improving and time is passing by and I'm certainly not getting any younger. I will buy one shortly. Thanks for the reality push :)

Me too :D ooh that message was too short, I hope Dave is letting people try the Macina Bold, it is only on display at today's event.

I've been dithering for a couple of years now. On the one hand I manage OKish on a none powered bike, but that restricts how far and where I go. I'd like a Bosch crank drive next, either a KTM or Rose It is just the thought of spending over twice the amount my car cost to buy on a bicycle...

Quite hilly I guess, about 20 metres. Google streetview always flattens out the hills. Bing Karten - Anfahrtsbeschreibungen, Verkehrsinfos und Straßenbedingungen

It can't be that hilly can it? https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=IG6+3HP&hl=en&ll=51.604811,0.134733&spn=0.003692,0.00648&sll=52.8382,-2.327815&sspn=3.623049,6.61377&hnear=IG6+3HP,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=16 I'd have found it mildly amusing lapping the e-bikes on my racing bike. Someone could make...

Apology accepted Steve :), and I must apologise for thinking your post was a sales pitch. I also saved my paper round money to buy my Raleigh. I don't have the ability to write lengthy posts due to illness, so my short posts can be taken the wrong way sometimes. I started cycling again...

Now I know this is off topic..... but you didn't go onto ride motorbikes did you? if you did and were similar to most of us (Now aged 47) you might have owned one of these? not far from you either.

I simply expressed my opinion about how your first post read to me. I now realise you're a highly sensitive person who reads things and sees things that simply aren't there. Please forgive me for assuming you might be about my age and having ridden a bicycle just like mine.

It was actually a serious post, I'll take the answer as a no then :rolleyes: I had a Raleigh Hustler with 24" wheels and a 3-speed sturmey archer hub. So what bike did you have 35 years ago?

You didn't have a Raleigh Hustler did you?

I don't think that's the case at all. The more expensive bikes are better bikes, that's not to say you can't get by on a cheaper bike, the point you made in your post, I have to say it also reads like a sales pitch to me.

There's quite a lot of room at the tea rooms, also some parking on the road just near the tea rooms here...

Forks out and battery out through the head-tube once that badge is removed?

They really should have done a comparison with a none cyclist on an ordinary bike. Most people have no concept of how fit a cyclist like Malc actually is.

it'll still call time on any help you might need above the silly low 15.5 mph limit.

I've just checked a couple of threads, and yes the problem is still there.

Fit cyclists push 53 x 11 without too much trouble, so with a bit of motor help 45 x 11 isn't really that high.

Go to first new post This isn't working for me, it skips almost to the end of the thread leaving loads of posts I haven't actually read.

Are we having steak with that barbecue now :D

I'll quote it as well. Now you mention it I do remember seeing electric bikes on the rally design stand at Stoneleigh a couple of years ago.
