We use our e-bikes all year even when cold (3oC) and frosty in the UK. Only heavy rain stops us. We do notice a drop in battery life in the winter, but there is always enough. We store ours in an outside shed, where we charge them also. However, we have fitted a heater in there to keep the...

In the past few days we’ve had heavy rain here, so not been able to get out. Had a dry spell today, so a quick short ride to take advantage of the opportunity. DG….

I use a Garmin Epix Gen 2 Pro Sapphire 47m. This connects to the phone, front light and rear light / radar. Record your route which can be viewed on the watch and phone. Garmin are very good and have a large range of models and prices Previously had the Instinct 2 Solar 45mm but much prefer...

We had a similar problem with our R&M rear racks which were MIK. You could either use a trunk bag or panniers, but not both. Typically we wanted to use both, so I added some pannier rails using the following two methods. Rubber lined P-Clips to fix the rail to the rack. Crimp lugs either...

Nice solution. DG…

Yes. I have the XR, which is also recommended for e-bikes. DG…

This was my before and after photos. DG…

We also have a Titan freezer bags, which we got from CostCo. Slightly smaller and I think we paid around £20 for it. But it does last all day in the summer when we use them. DG…

That’s three of us using the Kinekt with great results. @m@Robertson, interesting that you came to the same conclusion as me for the Kinekt. The ST is for a more sporty position, whereas, the SC is for a more upright position. DG…

Yes. The significant factor being changing to the Kinekt XR seat post. The Ergon saddle was good previously, but not this good. You really don’t feel any bumps, unless they are really big. DG….

Update: Having used the Kinekt XR seat post and the Ergon SC Core Prime Men’s saddle has turned out to be a winning combination. I’ve done a number of 25 miles plus rides, including a 37 mile one and, it is now really comfortable. No pain, discomfort or painful sit bones. Initially, you knew...

Mrs DG previously worked in Warsaw for three years. However, I have never been to Warsaw, but have been to other parts of Poland. Maybe next year… DG…

Today was a nice day for a ride, bright sun and dry. Started off chilly, but got warmer and there was still a nice bit of warmth in the Sun. A bit windy though and, sometimes quite blustery. Had to use Turbo a couple times going up some hills into the wind. Some pictures of Stowe; The...

Last year I lost 35kg (77lb / 5.5 stone) through a mixture of a low carb diet and more e-bike cycling. Since then, I’ve put about 13kg (28lb / 2 stone) back on, so have been back on the low carb diet and more e-bike cycling again. Pleased to report that it’s working and have lost about 8kg...

Weather here was similar to @RabH today. I started off with four layers, but put an extra Gore Windstopper layer on as I got chilly. DG…

Todays ride. A very cold day, but a nice ride. A couple of reports into the council for a fallen tree and some fly tipping. DG…

Thanks for the update. I thought as much. DG…

What’s the feeling in Poland towards membership of the EU? I do recall reading a while back that there was some talk of leaving the EU, similar to Brexit. DG…

What’s all the exposed wiring and the black box on the stay? DG…
