If you are worried that your bike may be nicked and it sounds very suspicious, why don't you post your bike pictures on this forum. If it belongs to anyone here, you will no doubt hear from someone. The lost forum is aimed, mainly at members. Most would know what the bikes looked like or could...

There is an awful lot of people who don't bother to report their theft. As far as I can see, it is only the insured that report and only to get the required crime number. Cyclists are low on the agenda in more ways than one. That's the most disturbing fact to me.

It is their figure and not mine. If you do some more research and you will find it is not far off. CTC? http://www.ctc.org.uk/resources/ctc-cycling-statistics

Some have bothered with pictures. Like the police said, in their very own words " not a high priority, yours is only one of 500'000 stolen this year" 500'000 reported thefts in a year and still not a high priority. Photo or not, I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference to getting ones...

I purchased a Haibike RC29 early this year. Hard tail mountain bike with half decent spec. Bosch centre drive suits my requirements as I like put in a good amount of effort. Of course, I have the option of Turbo if I wish to reduce my effort. Mountain bike takes me to work in the week, off...

Sounds like it may be interesting. Whats the deal, do we just turn up in the morning? Can we park camper overnight?

Eddie No problem on speed, I am happy at any speed. As long as I don't have to walk too much. May sign up, just need to check on what the family are doing. Give your knees a good rest. Your photos are looking good. Shall keep you posted on potential sign up.

Hi all. The battery connector on my partners dutch bike has overheated and melted one of its contacts. Whilst I could probably make another, does anyone know where I could get one off the shelf? I am not sure if these are a standard connector or individual to each manufacturer. Any...

Eddie I did a good part of the Purbeck Hills whilst camping down that way last year. Did it on a regular bike, excellent spot. Nice big climb at the start. I was actually thinking of looking at going on this ride, not decided yet but may be a good way to get the blood flowing before winter...

Eddie Your cleaning ability is impressive.

USB port is 5 volts x 0.5 amp (500 ma) = 2.5 watts.

Tom, there will always be some who wish to travel faster that a wheelchair. You keep repeating yourself, is this a medical issue or just an attempt to get people to listen to you?

That's exactly what I thought when I first dated my current girlfriend. And you are right, still wondering. Aint life great!

KellyBear I don't think you need to worry too much. Most thiefs want a bike with good spec that they can knock out without any unwanted attention. By definition, yours attracts attention and stands out in a crowd (rightly so). They are likely to pick something much less conspicuous.

Almost certainly not.

Eddie, one of the things that attracted me to the bosch system was the need to work harder than some hub drives. In particular, fairly high speed spinning on steep hills. Each system has its merits depending on user requirements. Both are great but i'll stick with the Bosch all the while I can.

He does really, just won't say so.

Kellybear Love the bike, keep enjoying. Brilliant!

Oops, is your bike ok?

Flecc, there are a lot of people who own a sofa, doesn't mean to say that you need to use it all the time. Some people might think so but the less lazy will get off it and actually move around. Same with a car, loads of people use one to nip to the corner shop. Why? I agree, a car has its many...
