    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Another Storm hit us last night, attempted to take a look at the beach, but the rain was ridiculous, plus its pitch black. This one was called Darragh which is an Irish name if you didnt guess. This is the first time Ive seen advice on not driving through floods, possibly EVs? Theyre not really...

    Ebikeschool.com epic China visit

    There was a similar documentary years ago featuring a small cushion factory in an old Northern England mill. The owner moved the production to china and even twenty years ago the chinese workers were getting savvy to the profits that could be made, and they started interviewing the employers...

    Of course we all know recumbent riders are all vegan history majors, it looks like we found an exception.

    Just for fun...

    There has been a slow but catastrophic change in British culture that the world may not be aware of, an iconic stereotype alongside bad teeth and talking about the weather. Typhoo tea, one of the absolute brands has just gone into administration as tea drinking continues to freefall in...

    Drug driving is clearly unlawful, Im not going to add it to the wider issues. And we have a seperate thread now.

    Ktm basically gone bust

    KTM going from the defacto offroad utilty, leisure sport company to insolvency is quite the crash. The ebikes went last year and Im sure the brand will continue as its so iconic, but probably now entirely removed from what ever was left of its Austrian base.

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    I would be useless at reviews. If it doesnt snap in half I'd give it a 10/10

    Hilariously we pretty well built the French Riveria as a health resort and we also started Skiing in France as a tourist activity. The Promenade des Anglais, Cannes Cote d'azur were tourists destinations concieved by the English. And the French never got over it. Thats why they still blank us...

    After visiting the English Riviera, I stumbled across this classic Pathe News film of its heyday, 1968, I was five and lived down the coast. The Narrators voice is nostalgia exemplified.

    Drug driving

    My condolences, how utterly horrendous and life changing for your family. A good part of his story is its being spread locally amongst people I know who take all kinds of drugs including prescription and drive. I think theyve all had their eyes opened to the consequences for not just themselves.

    Brits have a very skewed view of Poland, not helped by the media and the Poles coming here describing their country as some post communist dystopia sxxx hole. We spent many decades thinking Polish people watched tractor factory documentaries and nihilist cartoons about despair and hopelessness...

    The British attitude is based on our fundamental approach to humanity. As long as you are polite, you can circumnavigate most laws. Which clearly includes. Sorry chaps , this is ours now, where can we put our flag ? I might ride down a farmers track with no obvious right of way, but if goes...

    Too mullet?

    The build has stalled, its not going the way I expected, hacked the shock mount off..yes really...needs strengthening obviously, Im toying with putting a bbs02 on it, the bikes original purpose has dwindled and the forks are way too big.

    Drug driving

    Heres a story that you might well see as justice served. My long term friend who is a successful builder smokes a few joints everyday, very low level weed, hes been doing it for 45 years and owns quite a property portfolio. It doesnt seem to effect him in any obvious way, but eventually his...
