A bike that fits the profile of the Megamo Reach is typically a big seller in the UK. Versatility on terrain, practicality in the city and a Bosch motor that is intimidated by no climb - this is the recipe for a bike that will spend more time outside than in. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/mega...

Hey @microsoft.com... +1 for not wanting your AI slop.

Haibike AllMTN CF 11 review - one for the big mountain riders keen on having something built to last (because gearboxes mean no derailleur to smack on a rock). Are they any good for this application though? www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/haib...

Snuck out quietly in short form during an international crisis, finally some honesty from Government on its climate risk assessment. This isn't a long read, nor the full risk assessment, but it does make clear that severe risks are upon us now, especially on food self sufficiency. lnkd.in/epesU33D
