Great response from Hampshire County Council. I can book putting BIKE in reg. no. box. My elder son told me no one books just turn up. Booked and all slots were free. On arrival the site was busy but no queues. Won't bother to book next time.

Last week I emailed the Hampshire County Council recycling office asking for a solution as my trike is a car replacement. It's been passed to "the team" for a solution. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Don't hold your breath :rolleyes: I will want to put them on everything. Problem is I am a complete numpty when it comes to fitting anything. The part of my brain that deals with how the position of parts/things relate to the position of other parts/things doesn't work. I will need to take my...

Thanks for the link. Recently replaced a suspension seatpost and have been googling secure bolts to make it harder to steal. This is much simpler than the bolts I found.

I've been having a great laugh reading this. It's helping to make my 3 month isolation bearable. In my 30 years as a policeman I found that my common sense approach worked wonders. Most people just needed a bit of common sense advice. If that failed I used the powers necessary. I see in this...

The 'walkydog' is a metal bar attached to the seat tube. I had an elastic lead, with a small amount of stretch, on the end of the bar. Only used for short distances and at a speed that the dog is 'trotting'. My dogs are trained to be off the lead nearly all of the time and ignore other dogs...

Just because he/she doesn't have the power/right to demand it. I assist/comply whenever I feel the request/demand is reasonable.

Disclaimer:- I am a total mechanical, electrical and DIY numpty. Motorhomed with batteries ( 4 x 125Ah ), 2 x 75W solar panels, inverter ( 3KW peak 1.75KW constant ) and Sterling B2B charger for 10 years. Firm fitting all the above said a pure sine wasn't necessary. They said would replace...

I was a policeman for 30 years retiring 22 years ago. If I wanted something but didn't have the power to demand it I used the 'bullshit baffles brains' method. Most of the time it worked. A couple of years after retiring it was my practice to cycle with my dog off the lead on the footpath. In...

I was taught to drive cars on a 5 week course in the police. I was taught that in defensive driving ownership of a section of road is essential. It discourages inappropriate manoeuvres by other road users. I also drove HGVs, artics & rigids, for several years. Ownership of a section of road was...

Fogstar have a reputaion, on vaping forums, similar to Woosh on this forum. i.e they only sell genuine stuff

Got the trike back and the brakes & gears are better than when it was new. However although I'm pleased with what they did they couldn't organise the proverbial party in a brewery. I wanted a new suspension seatpost and it was delivered to them but someone sent it back because it had been...

I don't use Facebook but will get one of the kids or grandkids to let me look at the group page.

My cargo trike is currently with DC Cycles in Bevois Valley, Southampton. I was surprised to find they are on the first floor above a car servicing workshop. 2 wheeled bikes are carried up to the workshop but they are working on mine in the car workshop. It's in for a problem with the...

If you change your mind the distance wouldn't be a problem as I trike it to Fareham once a month, depending on the weather.

Depending on where you are in Hants I could ride my trike to you. It has a rear hub motor and cadence sensor so I can turn the power up and just turn the pedals, with hardly any effort, to keep the power going. I'm not suggesting you need a trike but it would let you discover if this power...

There is no legal requirement to have a warning device on a bicycle.

Motorhomed with dogs & cycles for 20 years. Started just with dog running alongside. Restrictive on speed & distance. Next was a 2 wheel trailer. Had to disconnect at locked gates & stiles. Next was the WalkyDog http://www.walky.co.uk/walky-dog-range.html Great for busy areas but again...

That's the result of spending so much time in outer space.

Toured Europe in a Hymer Motorhome for 3 months each year for 10 years. Never stayed on campsites just cycling & walking the dog in the hills & mountains. 4 X 125Ah leisure batteries, 150W solar panels, Sterling B2B charger and an inverter that I can't remember the details of. The batteries...
