I received the following email from an inventor in Switzerland who is working on CV transmission for bikes. This would do away with front and rear mechs and the gearing would all be built into the single chainring which would “change size” at the push of a button. Sounds interesting, but I wonder if it will ever come to market. Anyway, here’s his email, there’s a link to survey that he’d like you to complete if you have the time. Thanks.

WattCycle Teesside have come up with a special offer for Cleveland Wheelers members. The details of the offer will be sent to all members via email, but basically it is discounted “drop in” sessions, discounted monthly membership and discounted inductions. Money to be saved all ends up!
If you’ve never been to WattCycle you should give it a try, it’s the closest thing to “proper” biking you’ll get on a machine, great for training on those days when the wind is howling or the rain is lashing down.
I know, Rule 5…
Just to let everyone know that our online membership enrollment & payment system is now up and running. Access to it is via the Club->Membership menu option, or via this link.
There’s two sides to the system, one for Juveniles whose membership is free, and one for Juniors & Adults which uses an online payment service that we have subscribed to. We know that by now almost everyone has already rejoined, but if anyone reads this who still needs to pay their fees (or is thinking of joining for the first time) then please do use the new system. It’s fast and slick and saves you carrying a tenner round for weeks on end hoping you’ll bump into Dave…
Godleys Cycles now have a purpose built Bike Fit studio on the premises. Bike Fit has proved very popular for them over the past 18 months and Paul Godley is promoting it further by offering discounts to CWCC members. There’s more information here about what the bike fit entails.
Please get back to us if you’re interested.
For any of our members over near Richmond, former Wheeler, Mike Jeffries, has set up his own Physiotherapy business over there, details of which can be found at this weblink. Among the services on offer are Physiotherapy, massage and Pilates.
