    Kalkhoff Agattu 3 help?

    Hi all, I feel like a complete idiot asking this question, but I can't figure it out myself, so. I recently bought a Kalkhoff Agattu 3 from a friend who can no longer use it, but she'd lost the manual and I can't figure out how to work the lights. The manual I found online talks about a...

    Greetings from the Fens!

    Pashley - those are the ones I keep seeing around Cambridge. Usually in mint green for some reason. I remain at a loss to understand why coming in a pretty colour makes a bike nicer to ride, but then you should see the state of the paintwork on my car...

    First time buyer - commuter hybrid for a short*rse!

    Those VanMoof things look like they were designed by aliens - there are folding bikes like that as well, it seems to be quite the trend. Sadly I will definitely need to swap the saddle, it's gel with a cutout or nothing for me, so that one's out. The Townie Go is adorable! Turquoise is my...

    First time buyer - commuter hybrid for a short*rse!

    I can get to Cambridge easily enough which has dozens. Part of the reason I posted was I was hoping for some pointers to narrow down the overwhelming choice though.

    Greetings from the Fens!

    It really would fit in 1942 wouldn't it! Retro seems popular round here, I do see a lot of those pastel-coloured cruisers with big wicker baskets when I'm in Cambridge. They're cute but panniers are way more practical for my purposes as a lot of the paths are bumpy enough that things just get...

    First time buyer - commuter hybrid for a short*rse!

    There are a bazillion bike shops in Cambridge, I can think of four independent ones off the top of my head and there's Halfords and a couple of branches of Rutland as well. And an ebikes-only place, although they weren't super helpful about choosing a model. I should be able to find someplace...

    Greetings from the Fens!

    I've been decluttering for years and I keep finding new stashes. Sadly most of the valuable stuff has already been sold so the reward to hassle ratio is dropping...

    Greetings from the Fens!

    I wish I could go device-free for reading, but my appetite for fiction vastly exceeds my storage space for books and libraries never have the things I want. I made a pact with myself a year or three ago that the only physical books I buy are reference stuff like cookbooks and sewing manuals. I'd...

    Not an author I'm familiar with - I'm currently reading through all sorts of paranormal PI trash thanks to Kindle Unlimited.

    First time buyer - commuter hybrid for a short*rse!

    So, per my introduction post I've been offered a folding ebike for a very reasonable price by a friend, but she's currently ill and I won't be able to collect it for some time. It's a Pro-Rider Wayfarer, which google investigation told me seems to be a reasonable first-timer ebike (and good for...

    Greetings from the Fens!

    Hello ebikers :) I'm an ebiker-to-be in the lovely Cambridgeshire pancake. Looking to upgrade my cycle commute now I've moved further out of town. Currently the proud owner of two non-electric bikes (Ridgeback hybrid and a Tern folder) and will hopefully be collecting a second hand electric...
