Not sure that is going to make any difference to the general conduct of cyclists even if it could be policed, which I doubt, I suspect if such plans were made law the only result would be that it reduces the number of cyclists on the road, or massive demos/riots all over the country.

That sound very much like the official spin. Toyota was able to improve the NiMH technology that GM was forced to scrap Toyota, Panasonic and other battery makers were sued, forcing a settlement agreement of $30,000,000 to Chevron.

The Gm EV1 Scandal was about the BATTERY TECHNOLOGY that was bought, and buried, under patent law by a subsidary company that was owned by the oil company(CHEVRON) patent rights don't expire until 2014. Seems patent law is still being used to supress technology despite any law changes...

The 18 Most Suppressed Inventions Ever Photo Gallery - All Photos - Conspiracies on truTV.com It does not surprise me that new inventions/technologies are supressed by large multinational companies, but what does suprise me, is national goverments has allowed the patent law to be used as, the...

A man for all seasons, and we all know what happened to him...................

I would not worry about new laws to make the roads safer, in the next 10/20 years, people on low to average income will not be able to afford their own transport due to the diminishing oil reserves, the only question is whether affordable, viable alternatives will be found in time, if not, our...

" only a few give the rest a bad name." My perception is the opposite, the majority of cyclist I come across seem to have a cavalier attitude to the interpretation of the highway code, from minor infractions to downright dangerous behaviour

I thought the programme was balanced between cyclist, and motorist. There are a lot of cyclist that do act like morons on our roads, I see them every day, which does give a bad name to those cyclist that are law abiding, and try to promote responsible road craft. My conclusion is that the fault...

Graphene foam batteries have been quoted as having similar performance as Lithium, but the charge times are quoted to be as low as 15 minutes, which sounds like a big step forward in usability

Bright enough for a rabbit shoot

That sounds like lithium has maxed out on performance, further development to increase a further 1/5th at 5x the cost would be far to expensive IMHO

The good old days:cool:

The battery is a 12v 7ah I use mainly for night fishing using plug in power inverter gives me light or watch a movie on the laptop if fishing is a bit slow etc The Battery last about 6-8hours for lighting and less for the laptop continuous use, which is sufficient for a night session Very...

I have a small motorcycle 12v battery that fits into a small leather toilet bag, soldered a standard car cig socket, I have a standard 5v usb plug that will fit in cig socket, and a standard 3 pin power inverter to 240 ac and can run laptop off

Do I assume your running this off your main battery or do have a auxiliary source ?

I always thought they stopped the heart when doing open heart surgery, and when replacing valves ?

To be able to manufacture e-bikes in Britain will require a Banking system that is pro business. Our Banks are very reluctant to lend to small/medium industrial ventures, despite the Bank of England incentives to Banks to increase there lending to business, they still prefer to speculate on...

Sadly I am not able make a contribution due to timing of meeting but would like to leave a suggestion I expect it has already been thought of: To me the most obvious supplier of national charge points would be petrol retail outlets, the national infrastructure is already in place. If...

Politness of course is always to be desired as first response, but would like to have a back up such as 103Alex1 suggests, but maybe the horn could sounds much like those 50 tonnes six-axle articulated lorries

Sorry:confused: What is the distinction as far of right of way on cycle paths ?
