Cheers. My current bike tops out at 70mph!. Got my theory test tomorrow. It's mental how much more you have to concentrate on a bike than in a car. Literally every side road you have to imagine some tool is going to pull out without seeing you. I'm a mental and emotional wreck after half an hour on the thing!

 

Its the same on the push bike (why they all it a push bike I dont know). However you have the added equation of speed!

 

See 70mph doesnt sound much compared to a car, but it is. I was going down hill yesterday, I thought "Im flying here", looked at my speedo and I was doing 74km/h, which on a bike is pretty quick. Almost double that and thats what you have!!

 

Good luck with the test man

Guessing from the early versions without gears where the cyclist would sit astride the bike and push it along with their feet?

Tempted to get a Kindle touch. The Kindle keyboard I've got keeps freezing, I think there is an issue with the firmware. I doubt Amazon would do a part ex, but I use the Kindle everyday (when it works) so I really want to replace this duff one asap.

When did you get yours. If it's still under warranty, I'd ring amazon and tell them you're not happy and you'd prefer a touch given you the problems you've had with this one. When I had bother with mine, their customer service was great, so they might do something for you with a part ex.

Can't hurt to try. Do you have the touch-screen version yourself?

Not bought technically but my new lease car came last week. White was the cheapest colour before the old farts on the board start with the obligatory hairdresser jokes

 

Supposed to get 74mpg. I'm getting 49mpg atm, lying bastards

Custom Euro 2012 England jersey with LIONHEART on the back. Very sick jersey. Looks pretty much like a polo and love the St. George's Cross theme and the simplicity.

 

Did it come with an EDL membership pack and years' subscription to Zoo?
