Have just been discussing the sense in moving my bike from the garage into a shed of some sort. It would certainly make the garage a bit easier to use and navigate. Especially with the possibility of having a second ebike in the near future... For clarity, we live in a very safe area...

Partner was loaned a low-end Coyote Connect ebike. Having tried it, she can't stand it! It feels wobbly. The brakes are rubbish. She hates the tiny wheels. And the riding position is hopeless for her - without sufficient possibility of adjustment or upgrading. But it did concentrate her mind...

Cougar kills one mountain biker and injures another in Washington state Mountain lion tracked and killed after attack in backwoods Second biker called 911 and shouted: ‘Can you hear me? Help!’ Guardian staff and agencies Sun 20 May 2018 03.04 BST First published on Sat 19 May 2018 23.33...

On Sustrans 4 I came across this rather silly barrier. My handlebars are literally touching both sides. Maybe they are to stop full size motorbikes getting through - but mine is just an ordinary ebike. At the other end of this path, the chromed plates appear to have been removed.

Recently been looking round new cars and have been surprised how many are offering traffic sign recognition systems. (Maybe only top-end models - but quite a number.) Can't help but anticipate people imposing their own speed limits if these systems are unable to distinguish between official and...

Cyclist finds nail traps on forest path near Lampeter Nail traps have been found laid across trails in a wood in Ceredigion with handwritten messages left underneath. Dyfed-Powys Police is investigating after the blocks of wood were discovered by a cyclist partially hidden by moss and...

Have got a waterproof battery pack for my front light. It works, yes, but I am not exactly thrilled by its life. Thinking about getting a box and bunging some 18650s in it. But the more I look, the less I understand. Keep checking reviews and so many have a mix of awful and wonderful. That's...

Some time ago I visited Blankenberge in Belgium - where they have lots of weird and wonderful cycle-based vehicles, tricycles, quads, hexes, and this monster... Couldn't help thinking that adding some electric traction would be great fun! So long as you were not restricted to 250W - perhaps...

I almost literally felt the impact of this crash. Conwy driver jailed for head-on crash with cyclist This is the moment when a driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel ploughed into a cyclist and flung him in the air during a head-on crash. Jake David Tompkinson, of Rowen, Conwy county, was...

fishing. https://www.aldi.co.uk/crane-neoprene-boots/p/081319192226500 But that's not what they are going to do. Them is my new cycling boots. :-) Got them on Thursday and used them several times. Coming home today, spray/drizzle, and rapidly dropping temperature - my feet were bone dry...

Mightily. Currently around 50 mph, tomorrow about 60 mph. (But knowing the forecasts, could easily be up or down at least 10 mph.) What wind speed do you duck out of cycling? I really noticed it this evening - definitely harder going and pushing sideways. I'm well aware of issues like falling...

Article in today's The Guardian: Cycling The Artisans A modern engineer building classic bicycle frames – in pictures Tom Warmerdam turned his passions for cycling and engineering into a career at Demon Frameworks in Southampton, where he designs and builds unique custom-made steel-frame...

Partner has been given (sort-of) a Coyote Connect folder - two/three years old. Looks to be in excellent condition. The problem is that the owner cannot locate the charger. If we decide to keep it, no problem, we buy a charger, of which there are several readily available. Trouble is two-fold...

Having bought the bike, and the numerous extras needed (lights, lock, helmet, mudguards, etc.), this morning was pencilled in as my first ride-to-work day. Happily, was dry - but pretty cold. Set out, my front light doing everything d8veh promised for it in the dark, no actual ice as far as I...

Partner is considering an ebike. She is about 5' 3" Stepthrough necessary - or possibly a very low trapezium/mixte. Has issues which make a throttle desirable - might not be essential but wouldn't wish to block the option in future. The light operation of hydraulic disc brakes would be...

I live in extreme south west Wales. Given the loveliness of the area, it seemed utterly ridiculous to drive everywhere - including to work. So I have acquired an ebike and intend to use it for the short distance to work, and for further exploring of the area. Over 60, and very unfit, it will...
