would it be against the rules to use someone in a vintage car to generate a partial vacuum in front of one? http://www.core77.com/posts/25260/tom-donhous-experiments-in-speed-the-fastest-fixed-gear-ever-25260

£400 buys you a tesco hopper, as fr as i can establish teh same specs with a guarantee in a much friendlier small wheeled package, i know which i'd go for..

but if someone deliberatlely cuts one off in a threatening and dangerous way(as this driver did to this cyclist, as evident in teh video) no assumption is necessary. If someone thereatened me in any other walk of life in such a dangerous way with such a heavy object i would feel entitled to act...

incidentally and accidentally thank you - i have sa fiend with a kalkhof tasman, i helped her adjust the gears this weekend (it's simple i know, put in "4" and line up teh little lines, but she didnt know), afterwrads, to test things out i took it for an inspired ride, while doing a corner i had...

i saw a couple on velosolexes in france recently, putting around isle de oleron, they are beautifully retro, i dont mind having to wear a helmet, i just wish one didnt have to have insyurance or road registration with them (I'm not saying on eshouldnt have it, ican appreciate its a motorcycle, i...

i find a friendly note saying i informed Which Legal (icidentally a hugely helpful thing to belong to) who will assist me with furthe ractioon does absolute wonders. people, suddenly, out of the blue, realise that it has all been a terrible misunderstanding. I cant imagine they have a legal leg...

Not as cool as it seems http://www.bikerumor.com/2015/05/14/the-add-e-electric-motor-kit-is-generating-watts-of-interest-on-indiegogo/ Just a friction roller driving the back wheel,not much good in soggy england

the mini roundabout proposition - it's right up there with fermat's equation, judging by teh discourse on that page. i find putting assis6tance to max and bunnyhoping over the middle is a foolproof formula for upsetting several motorists simultaneously

as an aside - i think people do things in cars (cut each other off, dangerously, scream abuse, show each other obscene signs, bully each other) they wouldnt dream off doing in public as individuals. I thought about thsi recently in calais, as a further aside, while noticing a couple banging teh...

I didnt know any of that (law of unintended consequenes being what it is this message sporeeeads it more) - i agree with much of what you say - that he does not deserve to have his life wrecked (on this overpopulated little island we do all have moments of madness when we loose it), but i dont...

Crikey, talk about small menopausal men with big four wheel drives

many thanks,for the money it sounds more and more the inevitable next bike for me, is derestricting possible at all (i understand you havent done it), i have a dodgy bit of fast B road to traverse, and doing it faster than 15 is a good thing

many thanks for the feedback, how many miles do you get on a charge and how many cycleshave you gottn out of teh battery? for some inexplicable reason 20 mph feels just right to me (15 too slow, 25 too fast, it's like a bears' porridge thing)

In fact tesco does a single speed version for £350. Does anyone have direct experience of this,in terms of hill climbing,speed,battery life,between charges,is distance and overall in terms of cycles? Can it be made to toddle along at 20mph and doe really steep hills? And how bad are the brakes...

Fascinating,especially if one considers - to drag another elephant into the room by its tail - the whole multitasking/hunter-gatherer/women are better at picking berries and looking out for predators and so have better lateral attention spans hypotheses. Are you absolutelyvsure of your...

Yes,but there is an argument of form vs function in here somewhere,an understated cargo design that can take a second adult at the back and 50lbs on a front carrier without making one look like a trendy Hampstead mother and that still allows one to weave through traffic and is short enough to...

Very cool design,only possible downside is that it seems its throttle only? (and shocks for crap english roads)Otherwise real car replacement

here however http://www.channel4.com/news/watch-amazing-moment-people-lift-bus-to-save-unicyclist is a more positive (accident aside) communal experience..

don't suppose a few more cycling deaths a year matter as much as the royal privilege of a stroll in a park in lesangleterre..

i felt the same, it brought to minid the families who blamed the police for not stopping their daughters joining ISIS. Blimey, i thought, next we'll have thieves taking the police to court for not protecting them from their antisocial impulses. However, we have a completely populsit government...
