I had 2 motor bearings replaced at 14000 miles which I put down to riding in winter conditions at the time, the motor has been really smooth ever since so fingers crossed it will be good for many more miles!

Amazing effort, Stefan! 👍

Born in the same year as me, then the comparisons end... 😂

Yamaha Syncdrive Pro, possibly the same as Nick's!

Approaching 33000 miles, I can safely say I've had my moneys worth! 😁

I remember watching videos of Nick motorbiking around the world way back in the day, I had no idea he also cycled it! What an inspirational guy, I will just add I'm not going to try it on my Giant... 😂

Back on my 15 year old Giant Hybrid for the first time in 3 years! With my e bike awaiting a new display it was time to dig out my trusty old Giant CRS 1.0 which I purchased back in 2009 and it has served me so well, it even survived a head on collision with a kids mountain bike a few yards...

Yes I'm pretty sure that's the issue Dave, I spoke to my LBS and the earliest they could look at it is July 12th... I did have the display replaced under warranty at 9 months old but that was caused by the app bricking the display! Never used the app since other than changing the assistance...

I was planning a big trip on the bike tomorrow but while I was charging my batteries my bike wouldn't switch on, I'm pretty sure its the Evo display at fault and I have a new one ordered which will hopefully arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday so fingers crossed that will get me back in the saddle! I...

Congrats on your 5000 milestone, amazing effort buddy! ☺️

Personally I don't care about being passed, I'm never going to pass a roadie on a slight descent or on the flat on my legal e bike! ;) Some have even passed me going uphill, when that happens I know they are way fitter than me and give them kudos and certainly don't attempt to chase them down...:p

I finally caught a break in the weather again but only had a 5-6 hour window going by the forecast so I reckoned I could get an 80 miler done in the time allotted before the heavy rain was due to hit! I set off at 7am with dry roads greeting me after we had monsoon rains yesterday, I wasn't...

After 8 days off the bike due to the awful weather I finally caught a break yesterday and took full advantage! I was going to depart very early but the 5C temp wasn't too inviting with a chilly NW wind blowing, so I waited until 10am when the temp was a perfect 11C! It seems every ride is 100...

I didn't get to cycle to Knockhill on Sunday but I sure made up for it yesterday! With an awful forecast for the remainder of the week I made the most of the last nice day, I had things to do in the morning (including a lovely morning walk at the park) so didn't get out until midday! It was a...

When you get as much rain as us you can expect green pastures... ;) I am blessed with some of the best cycling roads in the world and I love cycling so long rides have been my thing for many years, I just can't get enough when the weather allows me!☺️

I took advantage of the nice weather today with imperial century #7 for the year! The wind was a direct northerly and around 20mph so I planned a route to take advantage of it! It was a little chilly when I set off just after 6am but not too bad considering I was heading into the wind! I made my...

I use the Samsung Galaxy S23 as stated in my last post, love the quality it produces!

After a full week off the bike due to the weather I spotted a chance to get a decent ride in today, if I left around 6am and with the rain due to arrive between 10-11am! I decided to head for the Campsie Hills and get a good workout, my plan was to head for Lennoxtown and climb Crow road from...

Our good weather was due to end after today and with a free afternoon I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to get out there! After my big ride 2 days ago I intended to go for a much easier one! Once again the temp was just ideal, around 16C but with a chilly ENE wind this time which was around...

Another perfect cycling day with no wind and a temp of 12C at 7.30am, I got out early when it was much cooler but it was very misty! My plan was to head for Biggar and being a Sunday I decided to use the main roads for a change with very little traffic around! So I used the A73 down to Carluke...
