Hi Ian .. Thanks for that interesting info. Not knocking you or anything but I don't know how the Council could be held liable regarding damage to Drift from the Flood? Anyone with half a brain would know when that place was built it…

Hi Paul .. The bike shop and cafe idea is a great one .. I agree they should just knock the existing structure down and move it further out into the river. Then they could even put in some space to park some bikes too. They might be able to flood…

Had to join because I have got an e-bike. Even though I havent ridden it since I stacked it and broke my leg in 3 places in early January. I have been adding a few things to it in the meantime. Will post up details when I get a chance.

Hi Guys .. I'm getting a lot better and moving around on crutches quite well. I can bend my bad leg at 90 degrees and am able to put a little weight on it. Dr Holt is pleased with my progress. On Wednesday I am getting the metal…
Mike Bentley replied to Paul Stockwell's discussion 'TDU attempted sabotage - what idiot did this??'
This is disgraceful and I cringe at what people in Europe would think of us in regards to this incident. I hope they can catch the perpetratos and throw the book at them.
On another note but related to this type of incident It is not uncommon to…

I have always thought Warne was a Knob .. He is just confirming what I thought except he is a much bigger Knob than I imagined lol.
Mike Bentley replied to Shaun Moran's discussion 'What I saw riding my bike today'
As a bit of an expert on these things I would say it was an electric scooter very similar to my stig mobile. If he was coasting on it and not wearing a helmet i'd say he has allowed the battery to go flat. I can't see any pedals on it, but…
