Good point Dan but when I think of how many shots I have taken using a built in flash vs how much I use the GPS function there is no contest .

Mainly because the prime objective is to take photos and the B.I.Flash enhances that process - the GPS doesn’t contribute to that objective; or does it ?

Great effect Dan - why the hell did Pentax take the built in flash off models like the K3II and the K1 models- it is a real help

Thanks for the info

You are right jim(bro) they sre heavy and need to go in rear wheel first; a good aid to this is one of those three wheel dollies that have “roller skate type wheels” that swiveel around 360 deg.

I put the rear wheel on that in the rear of the car and juts roll the bike in on it while supporting the front end so you have only half the weight.

They are £7 in UK tool station and are used for wheeling things around that are too heavy to lift

Go electric Brian, you will get twice as far twice as quick and experience the real joy everytime you pass a “would-be Geraint Thomas” on a hill to.

Mind you, he will pass you like the wind on the flat .

You are right there are “Poo Trails” everywhere Jim.

Your concerns regarding safety are real given the section of the motoring public who don’t recognise that a bike is another vehicle and has to be treated as such.

However uou would be surprised how it is possible to utilise safe routes with little traffic and parks and deficated cycle paths can also offer a very safe route.

Also Rob, I am usually enroute to my destination well before peak hours and usually heading into deserted countryside, so my own initial concern about safety have never proved significant.

Quite often I actually put the bike in the back of my SUV , drive to my intended location and then get out the bike so again that avoids “cycling mayem with manic commuters”

A good Idea might be to hire an electric bike as test but I cannot stress how good it is and I am now touring the many miles of towpaths on our local canals which give very rich photographic pickings.

If do commit one “ must have” is a 500 Wh battery pack ( Bosch 500 All Terrain battery) anything less is limiting particularly if you are loading up 10-15 kilos on the rack.
