    Cheap vs Quality Tail Lights?

    I think the way to go is get a good light; Garmin, Moon Sport, Cygolite as they have a good mounting system. Then buy a suitable mount, similar to these shown and, as you thought, with a little bit of fettling and modifying, it will work. Happy hunting. DG…

    Cheap vs Quality Tail Lights?

    You could use half a saddle mount and cable tie it to the underneath of the rear bar of the rack. Similar to this, albeit this is on the side. Both Moon Sport and Garmin do these types of mounts, plus their lights are good too. DG…

    2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Had my step son and his friend over from Poland this week and haven’t been able to get out on the bike. Dropped them off at the airport this morning to get the first flight back. Back home and Mrs DG is at work, so went out on a leisurely bike ride. The hot weather has eased off a bit...

    Excuses to Ride

    Most of our holidays are e-bike based. We find an area that we want to go and see and plan. Mainly National Parks, as Mrs DG, coming from Poland, hasn’t been to them. I then find traffic free cycling routes, where I can, print and laminate maps of these. Next is to find a cottage in the area...

    New Trunk Bag

    I’m making a change to the trunk bag. Going to sell the Basil Sport Design, although it fits perfectly on the rack, the actual bag moves and bangs against the rack itself. On bumpy tracks this is quite irritating. The Basil bag is now on eBay and I’ve ordered an Ortlieb E-Trunk bag. This...

    2 Newbie E-bike Questions

    We got our first two eBikes from the internet. The Raleigh for me was fine, but the Cyclotricity just kept falling to bits as Mrs DG rode it. After that got the next bikes from LBSs and found that to be much better. DG…

    E-bike Insurance

    My contents insurance covers eBikes up to £3500 only. As our R&Ms are over this, we’ve had to take out separate eBike insurance. However, there are many companies in the U.K. providing this service now. But you do have to check carefully the cover they offer as this can vary considerably...
