    Anyone here from Thailand?

    I'm spending some a lot of time there and would like to get one of my trikes there, which is turning out to be a serious problem. Failing that, I would be prepared to buy one in the country but it looks as if my only option would be to buy a muscle trike as a personal import and add a motor. I...

    Here's a question just out of curiosity.

    What improvement to the bicycle since 1885 has been, in your opinion, the most significant? In particular, what has made cycling more popular, and more enjoyable, as well as more useful as a means of transportation. I'd be interested to hear from all of you on this!

    One stiff leg....

    Ok, I'm sitting on the sofa since Tuesday with one leg in a full length rigid brace after slipping on a wet concrete ramp and my knee trying to bend in a way knees shouldn't bend. I've tried to ride my recumbent trike using only the good leg but can't work out what to do with the useless lump on...

    Motinova anyone?

    I'm playing with a new toy, tadpole trike with a Motinova assist. Wondered if anyone else had this motor and what maintenance it might need. I've done about 800k so far.

    Shortest mileage Shimano Motor?

    Just dropped my Trigo Steps at the not very local Bike Shop.

My Bosch Flyer has passed 5000km after working a good deal harder. Problem is that a two...

    Shopping for a friend

    Ok, some advice needed here. It's about gear ratios and climbing hills without EVER having to push. So, I'm looking for a trike (has to be a trike) for someone who wants to do Camino de Santiago which includes crossing the Pyrenees and a couple of other decent hills. He has balance problems and...

    How far do you drive with your bike?

    I'm just curious, for those of you that don't have a suitable mountain outside the door, how far do you have to take your bike for the right sort of track? Plus do you often go to the same place or do you get bored doing that?

    Anyone here got a trike?

    I'm enchanted by my latest toy, a trigo e-trike, but was wondering about something more off road. Wondering what might be available second hand that could be converted with a hub motor... I'm not feeling rich... Opinions please!

    Hi, am I in the right place?

    I'm not sure this is the right place for me. Ebike, yes, tick. But I tour, some of it (most of it) offroad but nothing technical. Should I be somewhere else, and if so, where? Thanks for your time
