The Cycle to Work scheme may be up for reform at the Autumn Budget. I had heard whispers. The chancellor would do well to take a measured approach here, because C2W is now 25% of all retail sales. A blunt force strike could easily do more harm than good. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/cycle-t...

A bike I'll be sad to see go. The I:SY P12 is a honey badger of a bike. Able to tear up hills, cover ground & carry stuff. It's on the pricey side for the UK customer, but if you want quality that will last a lifetime, this could be worthy of your attention. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/isy-...

Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Next-gen Brompton T-line electric folding bike lands, but has it fallen behind? Having tested a broad range of electric folding bikes, I ask the question whether this e-bike represents good value for money and whether the iconic design endures as an e-bike: www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/nex...
