    Bought this turbo 5 months ago but hardly using it so have decided to sell it. Given that these are out of stock everywhere it is a shame to be sitting under my stairs not being used. Some minor cosmetic marks as seen in photos but in full working order, see photo of flywheel.

    I have the original box and all the accessories it comes with. Will throw in a tacx front wheel riser as well. Cassette not included and will be removed.

    All the technical info can be found on this website: https://tacx.com/product/flux-s-smart/

    These retail at £550, and looking for £450. No offers please, I think this is a very reasonable price considering some are going on eBay for £700+.

    Collection only as it is heavy, from Loughton Essex (IG10).

    I totally agree that more needs to be done to address the non-cyclist causative factors of accidents.

    However, given the fact I am aware of my limitations I have to be realistic in what I can address.

    If people have a modification to my project which they think could be more helpful or appropriate I would really appreciate the input.

    All helpful comments, thanks.

    I should have put injured, rather than killed. My apologies.

    My project would be looking at whether you could modify perception of risk and safety, with an intervention ie: a cycling course.

    I know that cyclists are not to blame for the majority of accidents (one study suggested that only 15% of accidents involving cyclists were due to the cyclist) - but the end goal is risk reduction to cyclists regardless of who is at fault.

    Long time snooper, first time poster.

    My name is Craig, and I am a doctor doing a masters degree in sports medicine. Being a keen cyclist, I wanted to do my research into something useful.

    Adult cyclists are dying on roads every day, and I feel not enough is being done to address this with regards to cycling awareness, or raising the issue of safety perception amongst adult cyclists.

    The government have a Bikeability course, which is aimed at children but available for adults. As far as I can see there is no accredited national course specifically for adult cyclists.

    Do people think this could be interesting area to look into? Would people be interested in attending a course aimed at adults?

    Any ideas, suggestions, comments, and sarcasm is welcome.

    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks, I'll post it over there.

    The bikeability course is available for adults, but as far I can see it's not designed for them. Still waiting for an email back from them with regards to any research/evidence based on adults undertaking the course.
