    Pro-Cyclist breaks collarbone after Glasgow crash with e-bike rider who 'fell into River Clyde'

    The most interesting thing that's happened during the UCI nonsense (the BMX was worth a watch though). I feel sorry for the ebiker that ended up in the Clyde, too many pr1cks in lycra, I don't really get competitive cycling, most are cheats (or need a dump...)? Will be glad when they've...

    Confused by Mudguards...

    We had a cracking storm here yesterday afternoon (Glasgow, UK), that passed directly overhead, flash flooding everywhere. Was a little annoyed by the timing as was supposed to be meeting a mate for some pool and beer so was taking bike not car. However I don't have mudguards on the bike so did...

    Glasgow City Council accepts £8 million funding for Active Travel plan

    You would assume this was progress, it's not, the 'lanes' they built in past few years are neglected and dangerous and quite often end in the middle of fuckin' nowhere... So, yeah, lets build some more! @rseholes https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-city-council-accepts-8-27131717

Whilst I am reasonably competent with electronics and soldering I don't want to mess with the battery or controller or display to take a...

    Local Cop Clampdown?

    Considering the number of dodgy ebike conversions operating where I live (100s if not 1000s), I saw first one pulled by the cops. Given I was on my 'conversion' I stayed well clear however looks like it could be a 250W motor, wondering if they did him for the red light. They kept him there for...

    I post this in hope it may help another relative noob to tidy up ebike cabling, mine was a dogs dinner for ages and I see a few about too. Built this ebike approx 1 yr yr ago, it's a kit, a 1500W rear hub with a 17.5A continuous (35A peak) controller and LG 52V 17.5Ah Hailong. The bag that...
