I had a mishap today while dismounting. I think I caught my foot on the saddle or saddle bag while throwing my leg over and went over backwards with the bike on top of me. I went down very quickly and the back of my head struck the tarmac road with some force. Fortunately, as usual, I was...

I use a Mirrcycle mirror on the right. I wouldn't go out without it.

In today's Telegraph; doesn't look too different from what's on offer today.

That sounds interesting thanks. I'll give it a go - achieving the knee bend might be a problem though.

You might well be correct but for now I'll stick with the support!

About a year ago I had an annoying click coming from the pedal/centre motor area of my bike, once per revolution of the pedals. I eventually found that the click seemed to be caused by a broken reflector strip on the right pedal and the noise disappeared when I replaced the reflector. About a...

I use a golf sun visor which I've attached to my helmet with small cable ties. This has worked successfully for several years. It's not beautiful but I'm not bothered about appearances. Hope this helps. Jim

I used Paisley Freight a few years ago without a problem.

As I have reported on a previous occasion, a slimed tube in my front wheel saved me from a 5 mile walk home as it was getting dark a few years ago. I had picked up a hawthorn cutting from a hedge. Slime can be used in Presta valves which have a removeable core. Hope this helps. Jim

This appeared in today's Telegraph. I thought it might be of interest. Jim

An excellent post Flecc, thank you. Also many thanks for the sensible advice you have posted over the years; I know I and many others have benefitted from it over the years. Jim

In case it's of interest to you, I have a Supercharger GX Rohloff, which I bought new from OnBike in March, 2018. I will be selling the bike in the next two or three weeks as I am awaiting the delivery of a new Supercharger 2, again from OnBike. The only reason for the change is that I have...

I had Kenda tyres on my first ebike and had a few punctures. I had Schwalbe tyres with slimed tubes on my last bike and the slime worked well when I got a hawthorn puncture 5 miles from home as it was getting dark. I have Schwalbe Moto X slimed tubes on my current (and last!) ebike and so far so...

Glad you're OK Neal. Deplorable reaction by onlookers and, even worse, by police! Jim

I wonder if the misspelling in "PeddleSMART" is intentional :( Jim

Try Paisleyfreight. I've used them successfully at reasonable cost. Jim

Superb photos! I've walked up there (long time ago) but I doubt if I could get up there on my R&M Supercharger. Jim

I'm sure it will be compatible. I had an E-Style P and considered buying the 562Wh battery. I was advised by my dealer that the batteries were interchangeable, the problem (at that time - some years ago) would be obtaining the 562 Wh battery. I eventually bought the E-StreetP. Hope this helps. Jim

I remember paying 4/6 (4 shillings and sixpence), (22.5 pence) per gallon for "premium" petrol in the early '60s and thinking that was expensive! Flecc will be along in a minute with an even lower price :) Mind you my weekly wage at that time was less than £9.00. Jim
