    Electric bikes discredited

    I’ve had this a couple of times with Lycra road bike types, thankfully I look like a crazed old radge that should have taken the ring out his nose 20 years ago, a wee growl shuts them up, especially when I catch them at red lights and smile

    Wife’s Giant Frankenstein bike (possibly Giant Escape?)

    As my first conversion, and seeing as it’s for my wife, I’ll get a kit from whoosh. But if all goes well I might look at building another from a mountain bike for off road use. My daily bike is for commuting and it’s reliable for getting me to my (ex) work, but it would be great to have a fun...

    Wife’s Giant Frankenstein bike (possibly Giant Escape?)

    So a couple of years ago, a neighbour dumped a pretty decent looking bike, minus front wheel and a few bits. It lay in the street for weeks as I suspect no council uplift had been arranged, anyway I decided to take it.. and it’s lay in the shed ever since. Until may this year I decided to make...

    Bike wrap £160 worth it?

    Vinyl wrap is cheap on Amazon etc. They even have camouflage. Plenty how to videos on YouTube that would save you £160!
