After that ride Im having a philisophical crisis. Our first problem is we remember doing it on motorbikes, and there lays the issue. The bikes shrunk that entire area to blip..blip, tear it all up. Start in the town ,in Aberystwth for tea and biscuits. Exhilerating but far removed from the...

The official legislEUation

Im a little concerned at Bosch turning up the power, is the motor designed to cope or are we knee deep into the safety margin?

So many middle aged women and shop workers on old high end emtbs, I presume passed on or borrowed. They are everywhere, the barman at the hotel was stood outside smoking holding the battery from his Cube. The Atherton bikes are a very particular brand to represent his position in the sport, I...

Are we still be confused by the 250w limit? Its just EU gobblygook that sums up their entire attitude to truth so they can ban this and allow that in the big lawyers book of deception. We have a 250w limit, but the 1.5kw Avinox is legal. They'll allow it till the greasing of palms dries up or...

We stayed in this pub in Machyllenth A two battery ride, we couldnt leave brians brand new van at the remote trailhead, so we did five miles of sheep filled climb. It went straight to into steep windy, rutty tracks This is the climb from my picture, pure torture and twice as steep as it...

Clearly the camel is looking for the off button

What they really want is registration, complete and absolute control is the only goal. We are so far down Orwell and Huxleys road that they are using AI to write the sequels.

Bri and I are off to deepest Wales, staying in Machyllenth tonight, weather is OKish but its Wales and could go either way. This area is where the big boys play, Dyfi bike park, Atherton bikes are in the town. It was our old dirt bike stomping ground till they were banned. Two battery rides...

We can have both worlds, but the cycle to work dream lives in a very small slice of life. Cycling is incredibly limiting to jobs outside of office and retail. People who need to be there 5 miles or 500 miles and need to bring a ton of gear.
