Good question. I always put my bike on the back of the campervan when camping with my husband, but the primary purpose of the trip is to get him out of the house and moving at least somewhat. This year's trip will have two trikes in a trailer. Other than that, I ride from home. I don't do...

Just curious, really. Seems a lot of people are driving a long way to ride a 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?

I calculate that's good for a 4 amp charger... Mine will run a cooker! (a small one)

I do something similar, but I use a pair of 25 amp hour LiFePO4 batteries in parallel, which I charge usually from a solar panel. Shimano charger for the trike, Bosch 8 amp for the Flyer, and a 2kw continuous load pure sine wave inverter. I believe this is actually a requirement for some...

Get her a recumbent trike. Can sit on mine all day....

This is my Peugeot Randonneur from 1999, but its actually the 1998 model. I've pushed it up a lot of hills with the panniers on. Had to take the mudguards off to fit the tyres.

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!

I like that bike. If I adopted you would you get one for me? That's probably plenty enough battery for a nice light bike, I think your mother would be delighted.

Different one today. Because I have everything in my bike bag

Sorry can't see how to edit my post, just wanted to add Folder=folding bike. That Ribble bike looks really nice. Trying to convince myself I already have too many bikes.

Re sausage shaped tubes... They are a cunning device to enable you to change a tube without removing the wheel. Instead of being circular they are straight, sealed at each end, and when you fit them the ends meet. Obviously if you don't remove the wheel (which avoids having to disconnect the...

Love the pet! If your mum fixes her own flat tyres either get her a mid drive or kevlar tyres. I've got one of those sausage shaped tubes for my hub drive folder, but if you don't want to take the wheel off you will have to cut the existing tube to use it. Or buy her enough tools to remove the...

One with a battery. All the adapters you could want, charges on USB and will inflate a car tyre from flat (not a great big van tyre) and I can use it to charge my phone. A little bit bigger than a decent torch. Oh, and it has a light built in.

That's automatic. One point less for every year over 50.

Sorry Zimmerframe.... Not personal. Well, only a bit. I share the aeroplane with a friend. Too many bikes because you can only ride one at a time. Yes, the MGC is an interesting car. Rather more engine than the suspension or brakes wanted to cope with, even when we expected people to do the...

Huh. We own the house jointly. No boats. I don't own any handbags. Two pairs of shoes. Only half an aeroplane. A 1978 MGB. Too many bikes. I think boys have as many toys as girls. My husband has as many shoes as Imelda Marcos. I won't pay silly money for anything.

Push into barn, shut door after removing battery and taking into the house. Lock door before bedtime.

Bank transfer for the trikes. Both on prescription in France as mobility vehicles (keeping a disabled person active) so reduced VAT, a bit of help with the cost of 631 euros each (same as they would pay for a wheelchair) plus a small grant 60 ish euros because they are eco friendly. My hybrid I...
