  • Flans for clearing that up.

    Donut worry about it

  • Any drivers here that would consider using an e-bike instead of a push bike/car/moped?

    (expects overwhelming silence following by Extreme Sarcasm and Quiche Throwing)

  • The obvious person to ask is esteemed journalist Alice R. O'Spok.

    Bought one last week to replace my nearly fucked G1 (long and cruel winter + electric bike + booze + fucked electric bike).

    The new G2R is the best bike I've ever owned.

    That wasn't real, just a conspinacy.

  • If only I was an important robot warrior from the future, I'd be all over that...

  • Certainly in Cheltenham and Bristol where I ride I never see many other riders on the road. Sure there are significant amounts hidden away in Brizzle but in 'nam I see maybe one a week.

    Must ride around with your eyes closed? Bristol is rammed with fixed gear riders and not a day goes by without seeing at least one. Things like fixed N' chips and tunnel sprints goes to show how much bigger its become here!

    Honestly, honest to Jesus and God.

  • Well that's it... I'm going to have buy one.

  • I wonder if you can convert it to a fixie... put on some proper spoked wheels, and take off that battery rubbish.

    Too expensive. Anyone seen those "discounted" on Brick Lane market yet?

  • Retro styled bikes are where the mass market for coolness is ringing the cash register. They demand less skill and talent to ride. The hip trend, however, seems to be in fat tyres. Fat e-bikes seem to be the new fixie for the aging hipster.

  • Nah, I sold mine three years ago...

  • whats the latest post-fixie trend?
    we've done roadies, shoppers and cross bikes, with low-trail randonneurs and touring/bikepacking MTBs in ascendance.

    Choppers? 50s Parisian delivery bikes? I'm hoping for racing trikes, or high-end dutch roadsters.

  • retro steel milanese mtb's
