I think instead of concentrating on the riding, you lose concentration by trying to remember to use the indicators. Let’s face it, car drivers don’t always see other cars which are bigger and with bigger indicators. Agree to go for a good quality MIPS helmet. Both Mrs DG and myself use...

I used to have that problem. Previously had flat pedals with the screw in steel pins. But as you mentioned, if you slip and catch them, ouch. I now use flat pedals with moulded studs. Work just as well, but don’t do as much damage. Never have a problem lifting my foot off this type of...

Which particular R&M model did you have your eye on? Both Mrs DG and myself have the Nevo3 GT Vario GX bikes and are very pleased with them. Previously we had Raleigh and Wisper bikes, which were good bikes. However, the difference between them and R&M bikes is significant. Their build...

Update; I’ve been using the Ortlieb E-Trunk Bag a while now and can report that it is very good. Positives; It fits solidly on the rack and doesn’t move Build quality is excellent It’s works well with the Ortlieb panniers with no interference It fits better than the Basil Sport Design Trunk...

If I was buying now, I would certainly consider the Enviolo Automatic. Would really make cycling effortless. DG…

Enjoy your rides, but watch out for the local Council. DG…

I ride a Riese and Muller Nevo3 GT Vario GX. This has a step through frame and is very stable. It uses a Bosch Performance CX motor along with the Enviolo (CVH) rear hub, which makes it very easy and comfortable to ride. It is ready fitted with a rack to which you can fit a wide range of...

@Wes Turner Put all the questions in one post. Makes it easier to understand the context of them and give you sensible answers. DG…

As the weather today was perfect for riding, we took a trip to the Millennium Country Park in the Marston Vale Forest and had a few laps round that. As part of this we saw some signs for the Bedford and Milton Keynes Waterway Park, part of which runs through the Park. We haven’t tried this...

Lots of moving parts. DG…

Fortunately the UK has one regulation that covers all parts of the country, whereas, in the USA you have different State laws that can vary. In the UK, if your ebike, meets the definition of UK or EU law, then it is considered a bicycle. If the eBike doesn't meet them, then it is considered an...

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…
