Happy with a ban as long as it’s both of us

Get fucked loser

[redacted for taste reasons but the point about barbiturates stands]

Walked past Swatch in Cov garden and they had good stock so I joined the club. Think it looks the bollocks and is refreshing to have something so featherweight on my wrist. More than anything I just love it ideologically, it’s about as punk as watches get and that suits me

I need to look like a double hard bastard so all the madlads leave me alone in the ghetto

Is it cold enough for trews yet? Love this Justlong, would love to strip it down and make a weird looking fast road bike out of it

In my minds eye there are two approaches that in the final reckoning cost the same; cheap and highly interchangeable but you go though more of them, and expensive and bespoke but longer lasting.

They have yet to consult my minds eye for business advice, however.

Speed bump muncher

Common sense is highly subjective

what is a bottom braket

Picked up a Justlong for £700 and it's been a blast so far, I thought it would stop my cargo fighting. (they were previously crammed into a Burley trailer) but now they fight and also try and stick their finger in my bum, fail

Cheers! I don't really need e-power but I thought it might be fun since they're so cheap and easy to install (are they??).

Can you install the Bafang without the speedo and the throttle?

The European mind cannot comprehend this

Motors are on each rear wheel, that thing and the pedals aren’t mechanically linked to the drivetrain, god knows what you do if the battery dies

Check out this madlad, no direct drive, the pedals power a dynamo that regens the battery, absolutely flies

Yes I knew it was a ridiculous idea even as I was typing it!

Is there a forum consensus on the best all season 20" cargo bike tyres?

The people over the road have got a Yeti 4x4 with a roof box, the only thing it’s missing is to be jacked up on some steelies and BFGoodriches

Come on we’ve all dreamed it

Spotted near me down the bottom of driveway looking distinctly unused: Pug 205 GTi 1.9. Maybe if I leave a note on the windscreen they will just give it to me?

If anyone’s thinking of changing the dryer bottle for the Audi A4 BEX engine themselves, DO NOT

That one I post a pic of has a load of polystyrene trim, which is light and mouldable and can be replaced cheaply but with the best will in the world that's going to last about a month in a woking environment, I can see bits of that being shed all over town

Yes I’m sure they’ve worked out their use-cases, would be interesting to see from their POV what they are

Good points. I’m not sure what questions it’s answering, it’s not as nimble and quick as a cargo bike/trike, and it lacks the range and capacity of a van.

It’s worst offence as far as I’m concerned is the windscreen; it completely blocked the lovely breeze I need to dry my dripping face in this heat!

The battery also couldn’t hack a full days work. Colin Chapman was right, light and simple always wins.
