Hello Terry :) What did you go for? Gaz

Hello John :) Still grinning over here too :D Gaz

Good choice! :) Gaz

What hot chocolate?...... it wasn't me ...... I was never there ...... you must be mistaking me for someone else :rolleyes: I'm a hardened pedalist me, dedicated to the cause. No time for hot chocolate, or cakes..... or hobnobs.... or maryland cookies/bourbons/garibaldi's/custard creams etc :D...

Hello ttxela :) Gaz

Hello Joe :) Gaz

Hello FR - but does your battery come out of a Mack, Peterbuilt, or Hummer?:rolleyes: Gaz

Hey Emma [waves] :) Seaford's about as far as I go west. Peacehaven's a whole other ball game. Gaz

I go in all directions except due south ;) I like going over to Hastings Pier & back via Normans Bay, or out over Pevensey Marshes. The Cuckoo Trail is convenient, but I get fed up with all the other people using it (tinging my bell and smiling politely, when I really want to scream 'how much...

Not far away at all then - I'm up near Langney Shopping Centre and I'm riding a Whyte Coniston. Pleasantly surprised at how much I love the bike and e-bikery :cool: Gaz

Thanks Trevor, but I'm the second owner so the bike's no longer under a warranty. It didn't seem troubled when it got down to 8% though and still ticked away at what I'd consider a normal rate. It's been mentioned before by d8veh, but it could also be that last steep incline after a long ride...

Hello from Eastbourne too! :) Gaz

I keep any 'plus points' I've found pickled in a jar at the back of a cupboard. Hoping.... waiting..... that one day I might be able to liberate them again. One day... [looks away wistfully] :oops: Gaz

My missus wouldn't let me in the house if I came back in a state like that!:rolleyes: I know my place and 2017 won't be any different. Gaz

Interestingly, on the subject of mudguards, I've only just read the 'don't bother' review of Whyte's mudguards - I live & learn - and that they also do a much longer front mudguard for other bikes in their range. They're closed at the mo' but I might contact them to see if they'll fit mine too...

And a very Happy New Year to you too Eddie :D Think I'm going to be a big soft southern jessie and stay in the warm today :oops: Gaz

That's certainly an option, although a mudguard that was fit for purpose would be nicer;) I'm thinking more Fairy liquid bottle :) [other brands are available] or chopping up an old Crudguard. Gaz

Weather's barmy around here - yesterday morning we had a heavy frost and freezing fog, today it's rather more mild 8C. I can't say I'd ever be riding in sub-zero temperatures. Not for long anyway. Although in an unheated garage at home, the bike racks at work are under an overhang which keeps...

Don't think I'm going to bother with one then. I bought a set of mudguards - OEM ones for this bike, and while the back one's okay (after a bit of fettling to get to to sit square and not rub), the front one really isn't that great, and is about 4" too short at the rear. As a result, it does...

I went out today for my longest ride so far on my Coniston - 24 miles non stop. I started off with the battery at 60% and by the time I got home it was at 5%. There was a noticeable and sudden drop between 18% and 8%. It was 6C outside and damp/misty. I appreciate temperature will affect the...
