It's the E-buses I'm worried about. When they go wrong it's like a fireworks factory accident!

I think the E-bike market will mostly be in addition to the conventional pedal cycle market. We all know how expensive petrol and diesel are now, and I read yesterday that if electricity prices rise as much as predicted, then early next year it will be more expensive per mile to drive a battery...

I've got a Park Tools and another much older no-name one. Fairly sure I didn't pay anywhere near £18.95. Have Park put their prices up a lot?

I'm not really bothered about E-bikes. It's the electric motorbikes that I don't like. They're ridden by the same types that would ride a two stroke trail bike, and in the same reckless manner, but now they've gone electric you can't even hear them coming. Same applies to E-Scooters, some of...

Ouch! I hope you heal up quickly and fully.

No. It's the arms to right bears (for when you encounter a bear that is upside down).

It's an odd design because it's the equivalent of having a seatpost permanently fitted that has a lot of lay back. I wonder how that affects the pedalling geometry to have the hip joints further back than usual? Possibly it doesn't make a great deal if difference, although I have used bike fit...

In my opinion the most interesting thing about that tandem is the stoker seat tube.

I suspect it's the generations that never played outside much that don't bother much with real bikes ridden on real roads, with a real breeze in your face, and a real risk of falling off. Their lives are lived virtually. Presumably they enjoy what they do, or perhaps they never experienced the...

I have a freehub that I'm trying to identify. It's about 10 years old and came from an Edinburgh Cycle CoOp bike (one of their own 'Revolution' branded bikes). Also, the bearings are a tiny bit rough on the drive side, so I am trying to remove the freehub body in the hope of finding a...

Perhaps you could remove the kevlar beading from some tyres, then use epoxy to bond that to the wooden rim and use it as the hook? Probably tack the kevlar beading in place using cyanoacrylate (super glue) first, then paint over with epoxy afterwards to make it really strong. Since disc brakes...

I'm guessing it doesn't work very well without some kind of metal insert to spread the load at the spoke nipple. What if metal spokes were not used, and a wooden tri-spoke design was employed? I've no idea how the tyre bead to rim interface works. Would it be possible to use a router to create...

The Cure - Just Like Heaven

They're all desperately trying to climb the greasy pole, saying whatever they think will further themselves. It works, up to a point, provided the public don't dig too deep, and compare and contrast what has been said to different demographics.

Looks like he's been tailoring his words and sentiments to different demographics. He knows what Daily Mail readers are like when it comes to cyclists, so he gave them a whole load of extreme anti-cyclist guff. As an aside, pretty much the entire Tory front bench seem fairly useless and...

Oh! I read the Daily Mail every day, but only for entertainment value. When I want reliable news I go to thegatewaypundit, breitbart, and theepochtimes 🤣

Also in the Daily Mail, they are reporting a study showing that E-Scooter riders are more reckless than cyclists. E-scooter riders ARE more reckless than cyclists: Users are FIVE TIMES more likely to drink-drive and 30 TIMES more likely to drive helmetless, study suggests

Link doesn't work for me. Anyway, back to the Daily Mail. A horse rider says that cyclists spooked her horse. We have to put the brakes on reckless riders: One way or another, these menaces of the road have got the idea that they can do what they like. Well, it's time we did something about...
