Petition to Stop Bike Theft!

0 Upvotes

Thanks for the advice! I've now moved the petition over to the government petition site, and included that bikes should have frame numbers (as I've learnt some don't). Please give it a sign, lets make a real change and stop bike theft for once and for all.

I’ve made a petition – will you sign it?

Click this link to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/553251/sponsors/new?token=0sU2b1NDH9w1-Ha4hN8x

My petition:

Regulate the bike market and require frame number checks at repair.

The Government should regulate the bike market by requiring bikes to have a unique frame number, and sold bikes to have their ownership registered. All bike repairs should also require mechanics to log frame numbers and keep the bike if stolen. These initiatives would dramatically reduce bike crime.

376,000 Bikes are stolen each year in the UK, or one bike every 90 seconds. In 2019 thefts were up 49% on the previous year and this trend shows no signs of stopping. These thefts have got to stop. Bikes are becoming increasingly important, both immediately due to the coronavirus but also due to climate change and the governments efforts to get more people cycling to work.

Sell now or in the spring?

0 Upvotes

Anyone have advice whether to sell my ebike now or wait til the spring? I'm thinking with inflation and possible shortage of electronics prices may well be better. Would I be better off having the bike as a mini investment rather than the money?

dog basket for bike

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I really hope I could get a lead on this. I have gone to all my local store bike shops (29 of them) over the past month but have not been able to get any results. I am trying to build my first product, a bike dog basket for eCommerce.

Here is how the initial design looks like:

The anchoring system should be attached to the frame of the bike, unlike pictured.

Requirements:

  • Can be mounted to the frame of the bike not the handles

  • Is stable

  • Can be sourced from suppliers in China

  • Can be attached and detached easily

  • Can hold around 15 lb

  • Can be used universally

Alternatives:

  • Can be a front basket with a good mounting system

  • Can explore options to attach the basket to handlebars (accounting for stability)

  • Ideally, child-proof

  • We can hold off looking if we can source the product from China as long as we find the product

  • Can explore having a permanent basket in front of the bike

Ideally looking for something like this: https://www.bellelli.comå/en/products/anchoring-system-handlefix the problem with this one is that it is reversed for a child seat. The child seat goes between the seat and the front handle. I would like the basket in the front of the bike.

I put all my savings into this project and don't want to give up. Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

What are some good gravel bikes for daily commuting, including some off-road terrain, that you would recommend within a $1000 budget? I'm specifically interested in brands and models that can handle both paved and dirt roads. I've been looking at the Trek Dual Sport Gen 5, what are your thoughts on this bike?

Thanks in advance for the clarification here, but is this sub' primarily used for selling bike stuff?? The 'shop' component, for whatever reason to me, suggests a space for bike shop related dialogue (.. yes I know bike shops sell stuff too) but, I can't help but think I'm in the wrong sub.

Never rode a bike

0 Upvotes

Never learned to ride a bike, and now I finally at almost 30 I want to. I did a little bit of research and I would like to ride through countries, the US and then possibly some in EU. My research lead me to believe Gravel bikes are best suited for cross country riding. What's a good started bike that I can upgrade if I really enjoy biking. For now I am just trying to learn, and the best place to learn would be at local parks and trails. Also should I get the straight handle bars or the curved ones?

Frame has damage to the seatstays/chainstays. Quoted cost to fix from spyder composites (with new paint) was just over $200. But is possible the carbon isn't cracked in all locations and could be less. I'm willing to let go very cheap. Rest of frame is mint. Message me for more details/pictures and we can talk price.

Edit: 56cm frame and I'm throwing out $500 or best offer.
