Here in the UK, we have had now for some years 'Bike To Work' scheme. A government initiative. Anyone in work, can approach HR, and ask to participate. It was a £1000 (believe more now) loan for bike purchase. The loan is repaid over 1-3 years. The clincher? It comes of your top line. So tax...

Orbea offering £125 off extender battery for limited period. Had email from them earlier this week.

The good news for cycling in the UK? Bike shops are rammed out with work. Repairing and selling. The one I have used since the 60's now closes for 3 hours over lunch, to concentrate on repairs and PDI of new bikes. Sales are now by appointment. Hoping I still get my preferential treatment, with...

Email today from Orbea here in the UK. For limited time offer £120 off extender battery.

Correct Sol, and also requires dealer tools.

Ah, 239.

49% battery left, indicating 51 miles left in the tank. I started that ride with just over 80% charge.

Don't understand that range of 46 miles. My Gain is just over a year old, it's done shy of 3000 miles, predicted range on a full battery is around 90 miles. Last ride outside (I'm isolating) was 31 miles, 1756 feet of climbing, average speed was 16mph battery usage 39% I'm 6 feet and weigh 156lbs.

Shouldn't really be riding it til flat. Ideally down around 20% and only charging up to 80%ish unless using it immediately, then 100% is fine. The temperature that the bike is stored at will also have a long term effect on the battery life.

To register HR on the app you must have a Bluetooth HR strap.

Have you tried adjusting the amount of assist supplied in each level? Agree with you on the top tube control though. This year's Gain has a small type of computer on the stem, that does much more.

Yes, there's much good about them. So good, I've got two. An M20i and a 'D' Gain so I have fitted guards on that one for winter.

Yeah, I heard they had. If there is no play or movement? Leave alone would be my action, until it anything transpired. Certainly until this crisis is over. Bike shops are very busy at the moment, at least around here they are.

No, does the headset feel loose or do the forks rock slightly? With the brake applied push back and forward.

I use wet wipes. Then again, it's only had one clean in a year. I prefer to spend the time riding. Washed the car today, because I was bored. First wash since December. I usually wait til it needs servicing and they do it. HATE CARS. The service indicator displays next one required is? May 2021...

Of course Cyclops is now re-branded Saris. Gotta say, like you I prefer the great outdoors. However along with my Snooker Table, I don't know how I would manage another eight weeks of having to isolate because of my condition. The Saris has really helped out. Not to improve, but maintain fitness...

Zeek, don't know if you ride indoors? I do especially at the moment. I've got a Saris smart trainer, hooked up to the TV. I use Rouvy to ride routes the world over. Can highly recommend. Will be riding round the reservoir later near Denver.

Warning Zeek, I'm a back wheel sucker. Then I'll come round you in the final 200 yards for the win. That's how I got just about all my wins. Was once racing in Sri Lanka, couldn't believe it at the start line? My team where riding Colnago's with Campy equipped parts. All the local riders where...

Happy Bloody Birthday Zeek. We'll party next year. Come to think if it, it's pension day almost everyday. When you have worked as long as we have. Even get one from the Australians.
