    Donald J Trump

    Do you know, somehow I get the feeling that you don't like President Trump. Why do you feel the need to go ranting on a cycle forum?

    Many, many UK businesses just do not seem to understand customer service. Last year, I bought some plans to build a boat from the USA. I emailed, received a reply within hours, was invoiced by paypal, paid and received the plans within a few days. I then wanted to buy a basically home made book...

    Anyone else had problems with a Batribike battery under 2 year old

    My resolution this year is only to get batteries re-celled in the UK. You can be certain of what you are getting. Obviously, being what is essentially a chemical process with lots of pitfalls, batteries can fail early or go on for years. My electric boat is using 7 year old lead acid traction...

    Recelling a Panasonic 26V Battery or replacement battery?

    Had my battery repaired by BGA reworking. It was 10 amp/hr, now its over 20 amp/hr. It was so simple to do, I contacted them, they requested a photo of the battery and then replied that they could rep[air it. They sent me a courier label to print out. I got a cardboard box and bubble wrap from...

    Home insurance provider insist I have ebike cover

    My experience of dealing with Insurance companies is that the employees are driven by the rule book, often written by clueless idiots. When I was administrating my fathers estate, I sent a copy of the probate, which is an order from the high court to render monies etc. to the executor. The...

    Good looking bike some might say

    Well, I like the looks of it. But their film does not show the bike climbing steep hills. Nor does it show prolonged pedalling. Years ago I had a NSU quickly fitted with a dual seat and my experience was that pedalling any distance with a dual seat is painful.

    It's alright for posters to say things like, 'My helmet saved my life.' But I have strong doubts. We know that current bike helmets will only save you from a blow directly on the top of your head, and just how many people who fall off bikes land right on the top of their head? Now, a German Army...

    Just what sort of testing do cycling helmets get? Some, like the Enduro mentioned above seem to give reasonable coverage to the sides of the skull. but others just perch on top of the head and look as though they would be easily wrenched off in an accident. I have fallen off a bike plenty of...

    Are cycling helmets the wrong shape? The cadets at my sailing club wear some sort of helmet that fits properly and does not perch on top of the head. Contrast helmets for sailing, snow boarding, horse riding and so on, they all fit around rather than on top of the head.

    I think that this sort of problem is not all that uncommon, a friend of mine had a stroke, one result of which was that he lost the ability to speak English and could only speak Welsh. He grew up in Wales in a bi-lingual home, school etc., so both languages were his 'Mother tongue' After about 6...

    Good looking bike some might say

    Problems with the bike, 1 No seat stay. Why forgo the strength of a triangle and make do with a lozenge. The joints in the frame would have to be extra strong and heavy. 2 Apparently the saddle height is fixed. Pluses 1 I bet the saddle is comfortable, but only as long as you do not do much...
