    Neat idea for riding safety?

    I used to have the Bicygnals Wireless indicators Bicygnals Wireless Bicycle Indicators on my first ebike in 2008. Must admit the did a good job of showing other road users which way I intended to go. Don't think you can get them now though.

    I get some funny looks because of this but its great fun!

    Nearly 4 years on and yes I still have the trailer and Salisbury but sadly Charlie, one of the dogs is no longer with us, RIP Charlie. Anyway, I am now fulfilling my ambition to enthusiastically promote ebiking by opening a unit selling and hiring ebikes. I have six at the moment with a trike...

    I get some funny looks because of this but its great fun!

    There was a distant alarm going off somewhere or it may have been the cops... maybe they held back because of the crackdown on police car chases :D Sorry the vid was a bit boring. I'll try and get the dogs to jump out, run round the back and start performing the opening song from West Side...

    Does anyone know where you can find the "steepness" of hills?

    good idea john. People have asked "why do you want to know the steepness of a hill?" Because non cyclists or "ordinary" cyclists seem to think that the motor in an electric bike will get you up the hill. I want to tell them that over a certain gradient, there is no "assistance" at all and...

    Indicators!

    I use the Bicygnals "Indicators" and I find them very useful because I don't have to ride "one handed" There is nothing worse than sticking your left arm out while travelling down an incline trying to slow yourself down with your front brake whilst avoiding grids, potholes and uneven...
