99% of the riders are retirees and most are competant riders. Some of the tracks are a little "challenging".

A PS. During the riding we have had 2 broken legs, 1 broken ankle, 1broken collarbone and nose amd 1 broken neck (along with the regular scrapes and bruises)

I think this chain breaking thing is s bit of a red herring. Over the last 4 years I have had 60 to 80 people turn up each Wednesday for a group ride. We have ridden thousa ds of miles amd only once have we had a chain break. And that was on a poorly maintained regular bike. Yes it would have...

Youve got better photos than me. The last train on that line was about 1967. The tunnel has an uphill grade and when they used the steam locomotives the driver and fireman used to lie on the footplate to escape the smoke. When they were hauling pigs on the top deck not all would be alive when...

Last week I took a group of 24 from Waihi through the Karangahake Gorge to Paeroa and return. 44km. First photo; bridge crosses river, in second photo, across a main highway (see red truck bottom left) and straight into a 1 mile tunnel.

they do: The Urus has a front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout, and a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph) making it one of the world's fastest production SUVs. The Urus can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 12.8 seconds.

Why would you want 3-Class ebikes. After all a motorbike is a motorbike doesn't matter if it is 1200cc or 175cc. A car is a car, doesn't matter that it has diesel or gas power, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, all wheel drive, it's still a car. So why have separate classes just for Ebikes.

I have had similar problems. The first, the motor cut out while riding, no display no power, nothing. restarted a few minutes/seconds later. Motor replaced under warranty, no idea of what the problem was. The second, the motor had no power but the display was up and running. Problem seemed to...

check out the 2 pins which make contact between the battery and the frame

You're only as old as you feel..... I turned 82 early July. Been riding last 4 years, Started and lead a weekly riding group 70 to 80 turn up each week, split up into a number of smaller groups depending on self selected speed and ability. every 6 to 8 weeks go to Whakarewarewa mountain bike...

A retired lawyer once gave me the best free legal advice ever. "At our age a dollar saved is a dollar wasted". So I went out and spent 8k on a Bulls Embt. Haven't done any 'touring' as such on it but have done a lot of long day trips. Every 6 to 8 weeks I go over to the Whakarewarewa Mountain...

So what's the problem with all these wires ? It's not as though you have to plug them in every time you use the bike and I'm sure the extra weight wouldn't cause a problem

I had heard the quote as " Bobs your uncle". and "Fannies your Grannie" Usually as a reply from someone else present.

The trails we ride are here: check out 'trailforks' and search for Mountain bike Rotorua (whakarewarewa) There's a video here Most of the trails these guys are riding are grade 4 and above. the one at 7.38 is one of the ones we do. Not as fast. The video was made in 2014 and the forest...

Bought my full suspension E Mountain bike 2 years ago at 80. Still go out on a group ride at least once a week and every 4 to 6 weeks lead a group an hour away to a local mountain bike park. There are 58 tracks there graded 1 to 6 and I'm happy up to 2.5. If you start worrying about how old you...

I have a thule easyfold which came out before the ramps. I find that if I line the bike up parallel with the carrier, put the rear brake on hard, rear the bike up on the rear wheel and swing the front wheel over to its position on the carrier, release the rear brake and apply the front brake...

While not as threatening as alligators we do have some hazards. Usually our signs warn us to share the path with pedestrians. On a group 'away ride' we were out the back of beyond (it wasn't at the end of the world but you could see it from there) Zoom in on the sign

Some of the riders from my group out last night riding on the longest night of the year.

+1 from me...Does a great job but it is not cheep.

No there are regular urinals and stalls down the end of that passage.
