Morning all:hello:

Little legs, that's a new one :laugh:
I don't have cyclist legs, more suited perhaps to a prop forward:okay:

View attachment 336928

Absolutely, unequivocally NOT mine (but handy to know when the legs go)

I have the sniffles, it's not even 1°C yet, brr:cold:
I can't make up my mind if I would ever ride an electric bike when I couldn't manage a normal one or not. Some of them are bloomin expensive anyway. The guy in Synergy Cycles in Auchterarder sells them but they are a couple of thousand. He doesn't seem to sell any cheaper bikes or clothing so afraid I don't frequent his place often.

That conversion is apparently £800 if I remember correctly...
I'd have no problems with one, it would get me out.
I've met a few folk who just said the legs aren't for doing hills , anymoreone auld fella told me he could hardly walk 50m without stopping, 25 mile runs each day on his bike.
Aye, I'm for one in later years (hopefully)..

We now only have a Halfords, most LBS don't last sadly.
One in Gourock(dunno if still going), our Halfords hasn't been too bad.
Everything is price driven nowadays.

If I have to use one J M Richards in George Street in Perth is good. Really know their stuff and stock a wide range from cheaper to high end. Sadly, I don't use them as often as I would like as I am inclined just to buy chains, cassettes, tyres, etc myself and just fit them.

If my latest jaunt to Perth goes by anything, it'll be penny farthings in the fair toon then.
I can even do those maintenance bits now when I'd motorbikes I could strip everything down and put it together even bits of the engine but a bike? nah, too fine and footery LOL
I rely on Bikefit for techy stuff...

Good Morning :hello:
Having a cuppa when you posted.
He was obviously amazed at your speed and couldn't comprehend how your little legs were propelling Polly so quickly :bicycle:

I am waiting on a parcel delivery so am stuck indoors for the time being. Pretty chilly out anyway.

Big bottle, what's init?
It's snowing!
On and off down here. The Southern stuff, a bit of a show with no real effort made.
:hello:

Nice and sunny here, however, the temperature is due to drop to 14c with a real feel of 17c for a few days next week :cold:
You'll need your thermals in a week then.

I think it would be good for people who simply couldn't do hills due to disability or age. I think most of them can be switched back to manual as desired.

Bleedin' battery, one that size must do some mileage....

Yep, anything to get you out in the fresh air..
I'd a friend who had problems walking but put him on a bike?
He was a regular on the race scene in his younger years.

I'll be getting one:okay:




in 30 years time...
