    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Perhaps that’s because you’re a bit of a relic?

    Police ebike checks.

    Ouch.. I hope there was no lasting damage to you? If the motor was a 'write off' I presume they would have struggled to prove anything about it other than maybe it had a label on it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You and I both know that the BBC don’t care which way people voted. They don’t care what the outcome is and they don’t care that in truth it’s all over now. The outcome of any of these political issues, human tragedies, natural disasters is all the same to them. It allows Laura Kunsenberg To...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That depends whether you consider “we” to mean Internet forums and social meeja outlets as representative of society in general.

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    This got me thinking, are you sure that you would feel a difference with such a weight reduction at the centre of the wheel? I would’ve thought that the weight difference would be noticeable on rebound and droop in the potholes, you would feel it up and down curbs et cetera but once the wheel...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Police ebike checks.

    Whilst I am old, a bit fat and ride a bulky bike I can “just” hit 40mph on the flat and my motor has stopped helping me a long time before I get there...... And I would say nope you can’t ride it. I’ve never yet met a difficult bobby and have confidence in my ability to satisfy the request...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, most certainly there will be out liners in the facts but the general principle holds as far as I'm concerned. drift from Brexit... hmm I can think of lots of more appropriate titles for this thread :cool:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not sure all boy soldiers realise what they are signing up for as witnessed during the lead up to the Falklands conflict. I know when I was in the province 16yo trades weren't considered for posting there but anyway.. I've no dog in this fight :) (edit) just for clarity as it could be wrongly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is not true, or at least only partly true. A soldier in the UK armed forces who is under the age of 18 will not be exposed to hostilities and therefore will not make any life or death decisions about anyone (apart I suppose potentially for him or herself)

    Retirement is hard going, today I had to decide between fish and chips or steak pudding and chips. Decisions decisions decisions ......

    How to become as punctureproof as possible.

    Yep, I should’ve mentioned that in my earlier post, I’ve always put slime in normal tubes. I reckon the front tube in my current mtb is at least 8 years old.

    Which UK couriers will ship a battery?

    I had to return a battery to Amazon (camera batt) as it was faulty. Even Amazon couldn't find a courier that would pick up a defective battery. They gave in and just refunded me, instructed me to either keep it or take it to a recycle centre.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I agree, I would also be very concerned about that, its worded around simplifying the registration process, not removing it!
