    That's when I like it best! Less other cyclists to get in the way and get to irritate the fsck out of the odd motorist.

    My thighs hurt if I pedal. We're not in Holland are we! I need electronic assistance to get uphill otherwise I just pant and puff and go all hot and sweaty, otherwise I just get off and walk with my bike which defeats the object of having it with me in the first place.
    Hot and sweaty is good...

    Was having a look at an electric bike the other day that uses a hydrogen fuel cell. It looked quite attractive.
    You don't need a hydrogen fuel cell, dear Threaded.

    The thing should run quite nicely on the amount of hot air and methane from your B.S.

    Sorry, couldn't resist a cheap laugh.

    The thought of terrorists riding Segways in to shopping malls, powered by hydrogen fuel cells does worry me a bit though.

    I'm green though and I don't need to buy a car
    So what you are essentially saying, is that you are dodging paying road tax and fuel tax, yet you still plan to use the roads and pavements.

    Tut Tut Tut.

    I shall have to have words with the Dept. For Transport and see how we can bring you in under our wing.

    Do Dennys dream of Electric Bikes?

    No I meant peddle, i.e. setup a plan B selling electric bikes. Honest.

    started a topic Electric Bikes

    Electric Bikes

    Has anyone looked at electric bikes at all? Are they an allowable business expense?
