Re: Cycle Travel Question
Given many cyclists like of Premier Inns, is there sone way of getting their hotel locations into cycle.travel. Some osm seems to have it as text on the map.
It seems strange for Premier Inn to restrict such info, if they do: potential customers need to find you to become actual customers...

Re: London underground/tube to transfer between kings cross and paddington with a loaded unfolded bike?
Thanks all.
Have the motorised folding bike thiefs been rounded up?
Thanks.
That depends what train I choose: I had been aiming to have not too much gap before I could get into the Paddington lounge after reaching Paddington, hence near or after 1900 hours, I had been thinking.rareposter wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 1:16pm .......
How long do you have between arriving at KX and leaving Paddington?
Thanks that sounds reassuring.rareposter wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 1:16pmThis - there's a great route of mostly wide one-way cycle tracks south of Euston Road through Tavistock and Marylebone. ....Surprisingly, it's actually reasonably pleasant cycling in London now, most people re a lot more laid back now there are segregated lanes, the hire bikes and so on, it's overtaken all the lycra couriers hurtling around the place and is now quite relaxing.Pendodave wrote:....

Re: London underground/tube to transfer between kings cross and paddington with a loaded unfolded bike?
Thanks, but I dont want to navigate through london on my own, on a loaded folding bike, while having a train to catch. Plus I hate narrow 2 way cycle lanes with nothing but a kerbs distance between one lane and the allpurpose lane*, and London will presumably have lots of oncoming cyclists, so I'll be squeezed on both sides.
*and Google earth seemed to show them.

Re: Over-powerful LED lights
The French unhelpfully didnt collect much data on their experiment, so I think the best that can be said is that it didnt have much effect on safety but old style halogen headlamps didnt produce much blue light so the selective yellow filter didnt reduce brightness of drivers own headlamps significantly: https://www.danielsternlighting.com/tec ... color.html(search for phrase '50 are blue' ). So if excess blue light is simply unwanted...?pjclinch wrote: ↑27 Feb 2024, 5:15pmremember back when French cars all had yellow headlights to "fix" this sort of thing?roubaixtuesday wrote: ↑27 Feb 2024, 3:26pm As correctly predicted by Al, what studies there are seem to show no benefit from these, and from very brief Google, it seems are generally advised against, eg https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/ar ... 0Q17g8xnyD
Given the likelihood of confirmation bias, recommending people try for themselves something tested, shown not to be beneficial and recommended against by experts is probably not to be recommended.
If you're later in life and struggling with glare, better to seek professional advice, I suggest.
noticed how they don't have them any more?
Maybe there's a connection there...

Re: Ebike Stzvo or Led mr16s with 10degree beam: main beam?
I wonder if 6V compatible E bike lights driven by something like a device such as a (6V+ capable) https://adeptelectronics.co.uk/velocharger/ variant, would give less flicker at low speed than LED Dynamo lamps due to the device being optimised for more constant power to the unit under charge?

London underground/tube to transfer between kings cross and paddington with a loaded unfolded bike?
Has any one used used the London underground/tube to transfer between kings cross and paddington with a loaded unfolded bike, when allowed, after 1900? I presume one can wheel it the whole way to the platform, and use lifts /ramps rather than stairs etc?

Re: hilux ebike lamp better than Led mr16s with 10degree beam: main beam?
In the photo of the actual packaging, that itself says 80lux, so 80lumens is presumably a Amazon typo.

I wonder if affordable hi lux Stzvo E bike front lamps aimed high might be better/simpler/more affordable than said narrow MR16 eg
https://www.amazon.co.uk/M-Wave-Unisex_ ... B092M1PY1FA pity the min voltage is usually 6 rather than 5Volts (usb power bank standard volts)...

Re: New commercial dynamo lights
The Germans 1st allowed sporty cyclists of lightweight bikes(bikes below a certain weight), because said cyclists had taken to not using approved? lights at all... From.memory: Source CJ . Nb this may have been before Stzvo dynamo hubs appeared/were affordable.edocaster wrote:.....Didn't Germany stop mandating dynamos for most bikes a few years back? And, perhaps because they thought sporty cyclists would be put off by drag, Shimano tried 1.5W dynamos, .....
Only later was anyone else allowed out of the Stzvo dynamo cage.

Re: New commercial dynamo lights
Why would 'dynamo's be less common? Ic engine cars haven"t decided to stop running their always available lighting from the alternator: battery cycle lamps give me range anxiety...
I notice Busch and Muller have a new expensive dynamo Stzvo headlamp with a main beam.

Re: Improving Brompton ftont braking 2: any simple methods to convert an SA Hub brake to narrower oln
It seems the Brompton superlight front hub uses cartridge bearings, so that might be a source of a suitable axle, if still available. Dahon/tern cartridge hubs might also?Brucey wrote: .. ..You can reprepare the axle by SGing two new bearing seats but then you can't use threaded fittings against the bearings. For this reason, I would advocate that the axle be 'cut & shut'although I do understand that not everybody can get things like this welded. ...
EDIT it seems the superlight axle uses 6900 (26 x 10 x6mm) bearings which have a 10mm ID, so the axle suits that diameter. But I am not sure if Brompton even supply the whole hub as a spare anymore (mumble mumble).
