@kevgravelkev How do you know he wasn't ?

@Rome73 The examples you give relate to issues which came up long after those were found to be bad ideas or dangerous. We knew long ago of the problems with illegal e-bikes, the reason for the EAPC regs in the first place.

@Circles you could say the same about so many things; we used to permit smoking on busses and in offices, we used to permit the use of small children to clean chimneys and operate dangerous machinery, we used to permit 14 year olds to drive 125cc motorbikes. Sometimes legislation takes time to catch up with technology and attitudes.

So for years now we have allowed imports of illegal e-bikes and conversion kits, we have spent huge amounts of money on the police to remove them from our streets, and now at last we propose to do something about it. What a stupid country we are. Government ??

I got a gravel bike last year for commuting, bike backing and for doing a bit of off road cycling that didn't require a mountain bike. I love it, it really is a jack of all trades. 45c tyres deliver a lot of comfort, the position is really nice for long cycles. I think this article covers gravel riding quite nicely

@slc While I think we can all agree that the state of roads are crap in general, the A4 or A431 (through Kelston) between Bath and Bristol is much smoother. Or at least it’s possible to find smooth sections provided you’re not riding in the gutter at all times. I often ride my 28mm race bike on these roads, but no chance I’d take it on the cycle path. I’d argue that’s it’s more than a ‘few’ roots, and there are also a lot of sections with hidden pot holes. I almost destroyed my front wheel falling into one just this Thursday evening gone! There are certain sections that are definitely adequate, but the Bath end (beyond Bitton) is a bit of a disgrace.

@HoarseMann thanks for the feedback on how it works.

Seriously though, it will be interesting to see how this pans out – but one thing is for sure, Lance will be feeling happy!
