Shame about the distance, that's the sort of thing I was thinking and for small hills possibly dropping in a nexus 8 with coaster brake ( back pedel )

Cheers D8ve. I'm not looking to go recumbent, perhaps I should have put a picture up My UK google searching keeps coming back to the Electra townie, it has the riding position I think I'm after but there's nothing local to me, In the good old US of A this style looks to be popular & most...

has anyone any experience of forward crank or flat foot bikes, typically known as beach cruisers. I've always liked the idea but haven't seen anything like it in my area (Northampton) Now With my bad back I'm riding more upright than ever, especially on my human only powered bike. Also I think...

Agreed, I've cam locks on my quick change wheels (2 sets, on & off road tyres) & seat post again adjusted during ride when I get to the rough/technical sections, along with Velcro attached saddle & frame packs, what's left to protect ? In the vid I see these locks fitted to the handlebar...

As the £10 ones weren't around 2 years ago, so I brought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4Pcs-Neoprene-Soft-Lens-Pouch-Protector-Carry-Case-Set-for-DSLR-Camera-S-M-L-XL-/171900812380?hash=item2806163c5c With a few alterations the larger one fits my battery fine. As a bonus one of the other...

a wicked witch turned mine to stone so its now unbreakable.

Agreed but in a non fault accident it's nice to know the guys fighting on my side will be from the British Cycleing legal team, oh and yes 10% off is nice aswell.

Been there, done that snapped my cruciate 35 years ago and being a hero ( tw@) and not knowing the damage I'd done, I just hobbled around and my knee sort of got better ! Over the years my week knee led to more accidents and subsequent operations, now both knees are without cartilage and...

Not everyone not me for sure. A Not so smart phone for emergencies is good enough, I don't need connectivity to enjoy the countryside while I'm cycling :p

Nice, as a Bosch/Cube owner I particularly like how well the motor blends in to the frame. Built in as a posed to built around.

Sure thing Eddie

OK not bike related but with the money they make I'll buy a small quality monocular I can take with me on my country rides ;) Binoculars Bushnell 8x42WA 132000 A quality pr of bins but I only have one good eye so I'm going for a monocular instead. These were £145 new and are still in...

A friend with a similar problem built a garden sprinkler system activated by motion sensors. He only needed it working for a week before the cats found a new playground/toilet. He keeps the system in place & turns it on every few months just incase ;)

This guy is still selling 18650 cells. They come in prs and you'll need to separate them by removing the heatsrink & cuting the tabs in half. To run my lights I've brought a few prs, split them and then reassembled them in blocks of 6 to get 13.2 amps @ 3.7v ive also built a pack containing 12...

No I'm never surprised by the younger generation and there inability to function without a good internet connection, just disappointed,

All valid points and no offence ment. I have seen old tubes hanging in bushes along the trails, so it's all to easy to assume someone just dumped it :rolleyes: I'd love to have full confidence in a automatic tyre sealing product And I've read of many with similar experiences to yours. I've also...

So what do you do for your second puncher ? or even a third (as I said above, I've been there) and another thing, your a litter bug, take your rubish home.;)

6 Slime patches & a spare tube in my saddlebag :) I don't want to have to rely on something that works "most of the time" when I'm 20+ miles from home. Tried & tested tube & patches haven't let me down ( yet ) 4 flats in 2,000 miles on my cube & 3 of those were on a one mile stretch of...
