This is beyond question, Early Rider’s most rewarding bike! At a little over 5.5kgs for the 14” version, the Belter Series sets the standard others can only dream of following. With every kilo on a 3 year olds’ bike being the equivalent of 4 or 5 on an adult bike, this is 5kgs lighter than most 16″ bikes. Quite the difference to a child. It’s not just the weight either, everything is designed for low rolling resistance. High psi tyres, cartridge bearing hubs and even bespoke full bearing aluminium pedals all play a part. Yet it is the belt drive… Read more →

Proportional regen braking is supported by the combination of Phaserunner/Baserunner motor controllers and Superharness, which adapt to both your speed and bike weight on the fly, so a gentle pull on the brake lever feels a lot like conventional engine braking, rather than when a brake pad makes contact with the disk. The advantages include recharging your battery by turning your hub motor into a dynamo (typically between 5-15% in city traffic), making it ideally suited for riders who cover a lot of miles, although that is eclipsed by the reduction in wear and tear on your brake pads and… Read more →
Kona’s HQ in Ferndale, Washington. Kona: Rider-owned. The documentary, by Matt Dennison & Kaz Yamamura. What mountain bike company isn’t owned by riders? Who else but a rider would have the fiscal patience and insensitivity to risk required to own a mountain bike company? Yet there are brands so strongly defined by their founders that it usually turns out they sacrificed nearly every other thing in their lives for bikes. They’re the type who possess a devotion to riding that is so deeply ingrained that founding a brand seems pre-ordained. So what the hell does ‘the smallest biggest bike company… Read more →
© Sarah Maycock/Handsome Frank http://mosaicscience.com/story/city-cycling-health-versus-hazard Are the fitness benefits of riding your bike worth the risk of an accident? Lesley Evans Ogden takes a tour of seven cities on two wheels to find out. It was just another morning commute. That is, until a bus driver ran a red light, turned right, and drove straight into Ann-Doerthe Hass Jensen. The bus knocked the social worker off her bike, trapping her underneath, a wheel pinning down and crushing her left foot. It was a school bus heading to a Copenhagen kindergarten, and the children aboard were screaming. Ann was rushed to… Read more →
A Range Rover obstructing an ASL. Source: The Peeky Rider. http://hedgehogcycling.co.uk/ 20th November 2013. “I was crossing the road at the same time as a pretty, young, blonde girl to the pedestrian refuge in the middle, then to the other side, crossing two lanes of traffic each time. All the drivers stopped and waved us (her), across. When it’s just me, this doesn’t happen. I watched an expensive Mercedes glide right into an Advanced Stop Zone reserved for cyclists, and come to a halt at the second line. Typical of a Mercedes driver, I thought. I’d think the same if… Read more →
