I've done a couple of Sky rides local to me and I even found a local fellow e-biker.
As a tip unless your super fit, don't join a challenging ride as they can hold speeds above our 15.5 mph cutoff.
Oh yes and it's free to join

These rides will be different each...
I used to think there was a tiny bit of drag on my Bosch bikes.
But after further unpowered trials, I've decided there is none.
As John says, you will always feel the 20kg+ weight of the bike.
My thought as well (upto 70% of eachof my rides can be unpowered) that was untill last week.
During a...
ATM I have this pr http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cycling-Bicycle-Bike-3-LED-Head-Front-Rear-Tail-light-USB-Rechargeable-4-modes-/281678143170?var=&hash=item4195535ec2 they run for over 4 hrs flashing but I need to remember to charge every trip ( I do favour longer rides)
For my main beam I have a...
I was looking into this just last week and was ready to do it, my bike shop said the function just needs turning on in the software and I was going to do the rest myself ( take the motor covers off and run the wires through the frame)
I decided to stick with my separate battery powered lights...
I buy loads from overseas, usually via eBay but always with PayPal.
If anything is late, one message to the seller normaly get a full refund. If that dosent work, a message to PayPal always dose.
I don't get to many of these calls but when I do I just ask them to hold whilst I get the computer owner, in reality I make myself a cupa and then go back to the phone for a chat. Strangely there's no one on the line ?
Ive been in the same situation with a bad back, recently diagnosed as a bulging disc.
So I have done quite some research !
On my Cube I fitted a really short stem, something like this...
Well I prefer mayonnaise from a large lidded glass jar, I can get a good man sized scoop out.
Plus's its a little known fact but jackals just don't like mayo :);)
Good choice, I have the same machine & love it.
Mine came from leasurelakes in Daventry (2014)

you don't need to spend a lot on a lid for it to save your bonce.
The boy at work (23 years old) ihas started training for a Triathlon and brought a £25 lid with his new £300 bike.
Anywho part of his circuit takes him through Salcey Forest along a straight open road, it was along here this...
"When I read stories like that I want front and rear cameras."
You want a camera, I want a gun.:mad:
Worst thing was, he heard the car but assumed it would pass wide as there was no other sole on the road.
I also like to ride quiet lanes, when I here a car I'll check its approach in my mirror...

70 miles is my best (so far) on my bosch powered Cube.
On a good day when I'm thinking about exploreing I tend to ride on low or no power, as the hills get steeper my gears get lower. It's only when I'm in the lower gears the power goes on. There quite a few hills where I'm in first gear and by...
Strange but true.
A work colleague is a keen fisherman and was once cornered (if you can be cornered with your back to a river) let's say he couldn't leave the riverbank as the cows wouldn't move to let him pass. He also caled the police and they came to the field. Two officers walked through...
A new friend has the above cycle and has joined me on several country rides. Now my Cube 29er takes most things in it stride. Although this folding byocycle has the power to keep up its not nice for longer rides. One of the bigger problems is pedal ground clearance, at the bottom of its stroke...
OK I'm not pointing fingers here, just relaying my experiences.
I'm a leasure rider and go out of my way to ride quite roads, a lot of these are single track. I pull to the side for oncoming vehicles if it's tight and when I have a clearer view than a following car I'll wave them past when it...
