Follow my link :rolleyes: Cell I17: - 2672 cyclists seriously injured by a car Cell B17: - 243 cyclists seriously injured on their own etc...

There were 100 cyclists deaths in 2019 (RAS40004 link): https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/ras40-reported-accidents-vehicles-and-casualties Of the 100, 14 died without any other vehicle being involved (cell B16 in the spreadie). Not many compared to your average Covid day...

Very tidy! I like that.

RetiredandRolling's soluton is good. I have something similar, but on my motorbike (RAM mount + X-Grip), and it is solid at speed, as long as you also use the rubber wrap-round bit too. This might be worth considering too...

You're right - any of the bespoke dinky fitted solutions like Fazua and ebikemotion are going to be 'back to the bike shop/manufacturer' for any fixes. They're effectively closed systems. For amusement, I bought a duff ebikemotion system just to see if there's anything in there I can fix, and...

Hello Martyn, there are a lot of Fazua-based lightweight bikes, not just Boardman, but be prepared to pay another £1k over Boardman prices. Have a search here: https://fazua.com/en/ebikes/?page=1 Also consider ebikemotion-based bikes like Orbea, Ribble & Lapierre. We have an Orbea ebikemotion...

To be fair (again), it's got ultra-low drag compared to a poncho. If you can get up to speed and stay there, it will be efficient. Fat chance of that in UK traffic though. £5k is silly money. There are 19 fully electric cars on Autotrader for less than that.

To be fair, it's considerably larger than a C5. Lambo height, maybe. And plenty of surface to put dayglo on: > EXTRA SAFE - Chest height, high level profile attracts attention from other road users

Ah - all the imports were making Britiain too heavy. All makes sense of Brexit now. :rolleyes:

What's weight got to do with duty? (Unless they intend to estimate if a consignment actually contains what the doc says, of course - i.e. 10 bikes at 25Kg each should weigh 250Kg, so let's weigh it and see...)

Very useful link thanks, as is their 'Reliability_of_Wikipedia' entry. I like the way they have self-referential entries. That's an appropriately fitting and underwhelming epitaph for the whole shebang:

I'm genuinely open to alternative sources of info. Let's see what's unfactual in Wikipedia about Brexit, be offered other factual sources, and go from there. Open minds, and all that, eh.

Please give us some examples, plus the correct facts (and source) so we can be educated. Brexit-related if poss - that would help maintain the thread consistency.

Never Facebook. Sometimes Twitter, but only indirectly, since I don't follow any individuals. I check who they work for, who they follow, what they've written previously, what they retweet. My starting point is normally the Guardian, simply because it has no single owner. Here's the first...

Rather than 'mistaken', I'd say they've been actively 'misled' (£350m/week for the NHS? Nah, have a clap, and you can wait for your salary increase.) It's not dissimilar to the way many Trump supporters, anti-vaxxers, non-mask wearers, climate change deniers, etc are misled. It could be they're...

Yeah, they just take a payment of £22/month, every month for 24 month. You don't have to do a thing. Seamless & touch-free. :)

It is, and well argued. They want your data - as simple as that - to use to their advantage, not yours. And as an app developer that's the part I dislike, and it worries me in terms of freedom. The Wild West of the internet is rapidly becoming a Corral instead. But that's a dicussion for...

There is definitely much sense in checking more than just one source, but I generally find Wikipedia isn't too bad - misguided very occasionally, rather than actively misleading. You shouldn't believe everything you read, as you've just said about Wikiepdia, so where do you go to validate...

Not sure he should be trusted with scissors.

Do I detect some frustration? ;) Breaking it down a little, the problems seem to be: 1. crap signal due to mast objectors 2. crap Motorola phone design 3. crap smartmeters 4. crap Dr. IQ app 1 is not the fault of mobile operators. Look to idiot Britain. 2 is definitely poor, I agree. I...
