OPINION
Just in: the Wattbike
Tue, Jan 20, 2009 20:56

Wattbike in the playroomThe power of advertising, eh? Don't know if you've noticed but you can't move for Google ads advertising the Wattbike on road.cc. Anyway, we bowed to the pressure and asked them for one. One duly arrived, now it's sitting in the back room (scuse the mess). I've done a couple of longer sessions on it and it's mostly good news, lots of numbers and a good feel. The climb knob's a bit fiddly though. Look out for a full review when I've had more time on it...
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

It's a churnalism-killer and may do for copywriters too. As thisismyusername says that'll probably just lead to different levels of markets.

That's obviously incorrect, it's a highway (not a motorway), you should expect pedestrians, vehicles, wildlife and even trees to be there. That...
