    When you pass 50 . . . You are an old fart, so let's see your ride!

    63, roadie-turned-eMTBer, not very competent, enthusiastic idiot.

    Pic of the Day

    Been riding my bike in the Sibillini mountains in Italy. Loads of trails, virtually no one about, absolutely beautiful.

    Best estate car for transporting bikes in boot?.

    I can get my size L Cube eMTB into the boot of my Octavia (just) without removing the wheels, so the Superb should be fine.

    Mous or Quadlock???

    I use Quadlock, works well, but beware that the vibrations can kill the focussing system on your phone’s camera (apparently).

    Let's see your cubes

    My bog-standard 140S, during a recent week-long trip to the Kras plateau in Slovenia. The perfect bike for 50 miles a day exploration.

    Bosch smart system lock

    I got the Bosch ConnectModule fitted by my dealer for £99, which includes the first year’s subscription free (about £40 a year thereafter). Alarm, immobiliser and GPS tracker in one small unit. Worth it for the peace of mind.

    Bosch smart system lock

    Top tip: make sure you turn off the lock before your phone battery dies, or you’ll be riding home without any motor assist, and with the alarm sounding 😳

    It’s a 750w/h Bosch. Had 10% left at the end, so pretty happy with that. I too love these Neolithic sites and ancient byways.

    Pic of the Day

    Lovely, isn’t it. I rode from Swindon to Reading, with a few diversions along the way. Am new to this eMTB thing so wanted to see how far I’d get on a full battery.

    Did a 65 mile ride today, along the Ridgeway in southern England. Stopped at a 5000 year old Neolithic long-Barrow.

    Clip in footwear

    Flats for me. I tried cleats off-road, failed to unclip quickly enough, keeled over, and put my hand in a massive dog poo. Literally the most revolting thing ever 🤮

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Bought one of these (the ConnectModule, not just the manuals). It’s an immobiliser/alarm/GPS tracker. It fits, it works, it makes beeping noises, it knows when my bike’s been moved or stolen, it sends messages to my phone, and I can track its whereabouts. £95 (+ £40 a year after the first year...

    Noob from the UK

    Old bloke, new here, former roadie, occasional MTBer on a hardtail 29er, just bought a ‘22-spec Cube Stereo Hybrid 140S. Am too old and useless for huge jumps or massive drop-offs, so this should do fine off-road exploration and general tomfoolery. Looking forward to immersing myself in the eMTB...
