    Jaysus cycling!

    Yeah, i use it a lot but I'm rarely over 35kmh - That's just my cadence or whatever - I had 9 on the other (much, much lighter bike @ernesto ) and that knocked 5 mins off my commute every day.

    HOWEVER. A person can get to scotland from my front door without ever interacting with an airplane, which is attractive to me.

    I've a notion my gearing goes that low, but also i think tops out at 11 or something, which to cover 236km in a day is probably also useful. I'm looking at scotland for my next one and (28kg bike with pannier wind drag) I'm getting put off by 90km a day.

    I know I'm taking the bait by sharing this (still maintaining a work twitter here....) but eh, that's me done with Ryanair for life

    I had that at a wedding a few months back - I just like nodded a bit cos like the guy is otherwise a fully functional nice adult and it was someones wedding. I do need to develop some path to dealing with it again though.

    I'm pro bell I tend to use it muted mostly, like a gentle click sound, and mostly use it for saying hello. You ring them more than you pedal in the Netherlands, and they have some experience cycling.

I noticed this evening that I've slipped into taking the the slightly longer less traffic interfacing route over the past two weeks without even having a conversation with myself about it. This evening...

    not constantly, but I always have it with me on the carrier. It depends on how many taxi drivers i expect to be near essentailly. Putting it on the carrier is a really good early road rage detection system (also driver rules of road knowledge test similar to the brown m&m's one). A much lower...

    The internet tells me the bike itself is 14kg. Then i've a U lock, chain lock and the steel rope thing, all the clothes for work, all the food and drink for the day, swimming stuff just in case and some wash bag type stuff for changing. I was kinda surprised myself I always assumed the whole...

    I'm probably repeating the first answer on the thread but is the battery removable on them? He probably needs to look at taking a train and leaving the car where it is :P
