A chap I used to know often drove his large car either with no lights on or just sidelights - "I have excellent eyesight. I can detect another vehicle a mile off." Sadly, no longer with us. Mind you, the same fate befalls lots of motorists with full beam on ...

Maybe we got what we deserved? Maybe we should plead with Blair to return? If he could convince people that he was leading a Labour party he could con us into thinking we were happy in the best of all possible worlds? I'll hold up my hand and admit to my share in the present disaster - not...

For years that was my dream bike! I'd just passed the 11+ and bombarded my dad with pleas for that beautiful machine! I got a sit-up-and-beg SA 3 speed Hercules instead ... motorised in later life with a Trojan (?) Mini-motor.

For a long time I harboured the thought that 1936 wasn't the best year to be born but since this lot grabbed power I'm sure it was a better bet than, say, 1976!

Just posted the Gift Aid claim form - now day-dreaming about a new school! (might in fact pay a teacher's wages for a year but I can dream!) :-)

I've often wondered - would a (horse) riding helmet be effective? The Corker motorcycle helmet was a bright idea - if you fell in the canal you might float the right way up? ;-)

Juicy Bikes. Great bike, good service. Can't go wrong - but try a few before you buy.

Brooks B something or other. Mind, you have to live with one daily for thirty years or so - by which time you are as one ...

Maybe five or six, wide ratio. Mind you, we cycle in leafy Cheshire, not the Welsh Alps ...

David - we have a pair of JuicyBike Classics, which we carry on a Thule 916 carrier. We remove the batteries and most of the contents of the wicker basket before we move off. Hope this helps, Best wishes, Tom.

Agree - rock steady. Done hundreds of miles and not lost a bike yet! Best wishes, Tom.

My second powered 2 wheeler was a C50 ( first was a tandem with a clip-on Mini-Motor). My last powered 2 wheeler was a Honda ANF125 ( a Cub in a posh frock). In between came a string of British bikes and, a BMW flat-twin or two .... The a tank-like PowaByke, which weighed a ton but would climb...

I have to agree. I've long suggested that the fly in the pudding is the battery: 1) the cost of the darn thing, for a start, and 2) the lack of standardisation. It's as if the eBike industry had a death wish. We're happily retired, still running a car, still in love with cycling and camping. Our...

Will your character change? Of course, but only for the better! You'll smile more for a start. You'll revel in the beauty of the landscape, you'll murmur kind words to elderly snails as you sail gently past. You will become more human. Trust me, I'm an e-biker too! Nurse! Sedatives NOW, please...

Have you arranged a welcoming party pack for the bike? Nicely wrapped pannier bags (packed with tyre levers, puncture repair outfits, rain wear, cycle lock or locks, lubricants, full tool kit - and the on-bike cameras (front & rear), computer, mirrors, polish, dusters, toe-clips, water bottles...

Vtg VELOCAR MICROCAR PEDAL CAR FOR 2 BICYCLE Cycle Recumb... on eBay at the moment - add a kit and nobody would know you were cheating! :D
