    Nasty pothole

    Re: the Russell Brand video: contrary to popular opinion, the UK government has always reported on COVID adverse reaction rates from very early on, i.e. Dec 2020 when the vaccine was first used. It's just that the average person wouldn't know where to look for it, but everyone can find Russell...

    After 11 pages of comments it's descended into a fight over sticky tape. :rolleyes: Welcome to the internet.

    Camping Chair

    Oxford Products are usually very good quality, but I can't personally vouch for this specific item: https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/710816

    Teen on e-bike dies after colliding with ambulance

    Be careful not to generalise too much (BSB British Junior Supersport class):

    New ebike with ABS

    Skimming the YouTube vid, it took until about 6m 30s before it was ridden. For about 15 seconds. Very slowly - a bit like an unpowered bike. I didn't listen tbh. 'Software-defined biking' means we have the freedom to re-use a software term here - eBike vapourware.

    Comment on another sad e-scooter death

    Because the market supports that price. And that's great - early adopters take a hit to have the latest and greatest, which means in 5 years time I may be able to afford (a secondhand) one. I'm just gobsmacked that the price of an average car is not far off the average annual wage. [I'll just...

    Cyclist Cop Dies

    'it was "asking a lot" for drivers to realise there was a "bike on a trunk road at night". ' If the cyclist didn't have a rear light, then agreed - otherwise absolutely not. That detail is missing as far as I can tell, but I'd hazard a guess that a policeman would have their lights on at night...

    Ebikemotion 35+ LCD display on Orbea Vibe

    This bit of kit suggests you can have both the iWoc and the Ant running: https://wilier.com/en/int/eshop/equipment/ant-conversion-kit-mahle-x35-ebikemotion-system Yours is a more recent bike with both iWoc and the Ant in-built, so this dongle isn't needed of course, but I suggest asking...

    Vintage Italian ebike

    These are trailing bottom link forks, I think. In general they're not in favour since they're heavier than telescopic forks and the damping mechanism was inferior (back in the day, it was mechanical damping - not fluid), which is why they disappeared from motorbikes. There are modern equivalents...

    Vintage Italian ebike

    Harley fanboi discovers the bicycle. A nice styling exercise, and looks very well made but ultimately form over function. Just like a Harley. It's rear dropouts are much tidier than the Ital Ascot's.

    The subject and the message weren't connected in any way. Some context would be helpful next time. We can all stop panicking now. At least you know we care about you. ;)
