He's been moved to the general chat forum because most of his posts were political, so should be in the ebike stuff. Maybe he's sulking now, or maybe he never existed.

Was he just an engagement bot, to increase forum activity for statistics, but instead of getting engagement, his political stuff just drove people away from the forum? Now he's been cancelled as a waste of effort? Should've stuck to why we should wear helmets, why the speed limit should be changed, why there should be compulsory insurance, why hub-motors are better than crank-motors, why cheap bikes are better than expensive ones and stuff like that. If he had, the forum would be buzzing now.

I liked the seizures and the news. Looked at the COVID and health thread once and then just ignored it.

Cost, convenience, and access top barriers to e-bike adoption in the UK
"Leisure is the most common reason people use e-bikes. Among past and current users, two-thirds (66%) say they used an e-bike for leisure or recreation. Exercise is a (distant) second most common reason at 24%, followed by commuting (21%) and shopping or running errands (14%). Men more likely than women to use an e-bike for commuting (26% vs. 14%) and work-related tasks like deliveries (11% vs. 3%). "

Marvellous. Are there ready made Mad Max pannier racks with metal spikes extending backwards beyond the rear tyre, or am I going to have to buy a welder? Would attaching a sawn off pitchfork get me into trouble?

Limpet mine strapped to the Oxford lollipop?
Get too close and it attaches itself to the vehicle. Unless it was a Reliant Robin, Lotus Elise or Delorean.
