    How timely the e bike will be for me on my second chance for life

Your heart would be hammering away as if you had run a mile, which doesn't really...

    How timely the e bike will be for me on my second chance for life

    I had a stent put in after an episode such as you described in 2002. I was 44. At first it feels like you'll never get better, as the pain doesn't always go away instantly. I was still getting twinges in the chest up to six months after the stent went in, and at first I was convinced it...

    Alien kit up and running

    I actually like the way the pedelec system works on the Alien GSII, the only problem I have is changing up through the gears fast enough to keep up! Time to go the NRG route of a bigger chain set, methinks!

    Overweight Rider

    I'm curious about this too. As one of natures more generously endowed people, (read: Fat!) I also need info on which bike would be able to carry 140 Kgs and a 6'6" frame without collapsing into a big pile of scrap metal after the first mile. The closest I've seen so far was a Power Ranger...
