Hebie Chain glider on a Bullitt Clockwork Cargobike

An update following: Out of my technical depth: chain ring. First the existing stuff. Turns out that after about 1200 to 1400 miles the supplied Alfine chain ring was quite worn. Sadly the way it is made stops it being reversed. The same is true of the 20 tooth sprocket. Worn and can’t be reversed. Neither [...]

Just back from Asda. This trolley load: Just fitted in my Bullitt. Here we see it loaded at Asda (and nice not to have to push the trolley across miles of car park). At this point I was beginning to wonder if I need a cargo net to put over the top. But as you [...]

My September cycling review

1 Comment Posted by on September 30, 2010

September has been a significant month for me and cycling. I cycled all but one day in September. I have now cycled 25 days in a row. I have cycled over 260 miles for work. That is over £50 in expenses but by not driving those miles I have also saved the Leicester North Methodist Circuit [...]

Convoy of mixed bikes

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 24, 2010

On our  ride to Oadby today we had one of the most mixed convoys of bikes possible. I was riding my Bullitt (someone had to carry the locks, coats, stuff to clear our of Mum’s room, …) Jane was on our Trice XXL. One of the lowest recumbent trikes available. Wickedly fast and comfy. Plus [...]
