Should I go cruising?

No - not that kind, you filthy minded perverts... Mr R and I both have a week off in November (we have leave to use up before the end of the year) and he's quite keen to go on a cruise - probably in the Med. I like ships and I've done a couple of 2-3 days cruises - but I'm not sure about being stuck...

Re: I have been given approval for n+1

I’m expecting a nice bottle of his gin to arrive in the post, at the very least. We shall see... I have purchased said bicycle. I managed to get it for £902 - nearly £300 off the RRP of £1,199.99. As we're away next week I've arranged delivery for Monday 15 October. We're off to the Peak District o...

Re: I have been given approval for n+1

Damn... I've kind of fallen for something completely different - the Genesis Longitude. Riding it was great fun!

I much prefer the green/grey 2018 frame colour than the 2019 black/blue frame.

Re: I have been given approval for n+1

Why do you want an e-bike? They're a great solution for someone who isn't fit enough (temporarily or permanently) to ride more than 15 miles unassisted. I don't believe you are in that boat - and for the rest of us they're just very heavy bikes. Does one really need a reason for n+1? ;) As it is, d...

Re: I have been given approval for n+1

All those examples look unattractively clunky to me. I have ridden a fair bit with people who had their normal touring-type bikes converted to electric-assist by rebuilding a wheel, which seemed to work really well but might not be a realistic option any more (I think the rules have changed?). I th...

Does it take up the whole front bag, or leave some room for other stuff?
It leaves room for very little. Plus it's a small battery (300Wh) and it has a fairly limited range.

Yes, I rather like the Black Giant......or how about an e-Brompton (not the best for tracks but super fun on the roads)?
The problem with the eBrompton is that the battery pack takes the place of the front bag... which makes it less useable overall, except for short distance commuting.

I have been given approval for n+1

Mr R has, for some reason known only to himself, not objected to an n+1 situation occurring and the requisite tokens are sitting in my bank account. I've decided for this n+1 I am going down the electric route. I now have to decide what I want... I want something that has a good range and can be use...
