    Ha that's awesome Stefan, thats the first pic I've seen of your wife, she totally reminds me of someone. Great memories, my friend used to be the manager of the Cavern in the late 90s, we had some amazing nights there, Southport outside of recent horrors was a top end Victorian sea resort, the...

    So yes, night riding with a crew of acoustic riders, who luckily are twice as fit as me and have been doing it for five years every thursday night. This is Stan, he's on 29x3 and this is steep, but the Haibike is faultless and its very easy for me to climb, in fact the biggest issue is...

    Are E-Bikes Safe For Young Teenagers?

    A few nights ago I approached a nearby grass roundabout, or rotorary for our American friends, its quite large on a 50mph road, there were two kids riding around the centre on electric pitbikes, at night, no lights, and no adults to be seen. Im am not exaggerating to say they were easily five or...

    Are E-Bikes Safe For Young Teenagers?

    You can ride a Euro legal ebike at 14 here, tbh I'd be far more worried of the child being mugged for it and being injured trying to defend themselves.

The wind was blowing down the beach, 20mph no peddling in a zipped up jacket. Into the wind, full power, third gear, max I could get was 7mph. I rode up the dune and...
