Respect for cyclists

We sure that clip is legit? Not staged? Besides, hipster dude comes off relatively poorly against the motorised coolbox (small vehicle). But is definitely still the scourge of the roads. Won't somebody please think of the F-150 drivers!

Still got loads of dhb stuff. Even found an unworn pair of bibs beginning of the season. Gold. Wiggle were great on price and the bonus was the own brand kit.

My wife bought one and I thought wow, amazing. third day of use it was all over the place. She was on a descent and it went it to max power level and stayed stuck there. Then after a reset, it would suddenly drop all the resistance while riding on a flat road and then suddenly go so high, she couldnt pedal. Trying to get help and service from these guys is a nightmare and this just shows buying direct from what looks like a professional company is easy when you are parting with your money, but like peeing in the wind when you need help. We are at th point where we are going for a credit card chargeback now.

@chrisonabike Or, alternatively, they've had the experience of swallowing a bug at 15.5mph and don't want to repeat it.

@OnYerBike Yeah, the death of the DHB/Aeron/other Wiggle-imprint 'brands' as good-quality kit basically killed Wiggle as a distinct outlet. It just became another generic retailer website once it had no unique products. I miss DHB kit, it was such good value!

Can't say I'm entirely surprised - as far as I can tell, since the takeover, wiggle, CRC and Evans have all been exactly the same website, with exactly the same stock, same prices etc., just different branding. I don't see any point maintaining three separate brands with no attempt whatsoever to actually provide a distinct offering under each.

We keep hearing about how much damage a heavy eapc can do but surely the rider's weight has more influence. The weight of the bike has little additional impact if the rider is 100kg.... A 20kg eapc and a 70kg rider is less!

Another confounding factor is that your average e-bike user is more likely to be a novice rider. There are so many other variables that go along with e-bikes vs standard bikes that it's impossible to draw any conclusions from the correlational (uncontrolled) study.

@chrisonabike No idea - I was just sharing what I saw on local Facebook, posted by a local councillor with info from the local police!

@Bungle_52 yep, it's a balance. Those who already cycle, will. And (in the UK) we are justifiably suspicious about "great new infra" (and even more how drivers will ignore it) / irked by "get off the road" demands. OTOH given that plenty of streets are 30mph, and "20 means 25" and loaded with shopping on my town hack I'm not doing near 20mph either ... I *am* "in the way" (albeit to nobody's great inconvenience). And even on speedier machines I've almost zero desire nowadays to claim my "right to the road" on many A-roads. And "not cycling with motor traffic" / "I want to travel with others side-by-side" are extra blockers to most people taking the bike. So I'll keep saying "look what we could have - to *everyone's* benefit". But until we get there keep using whatever infra works for me!
