Nearly spat out my morning coffee all over the lap top reading the following from Marina Hyde in the Guardian. I wish I had this kind of talent for writing. "I want to assure you that when the apocalypse has come, and you’re living in the bombed-out remnants of civilisation, clad in rags and...

I heard the term reverse ferret used in the hoc today. Don't think I have ever heard it before, I had to look what it meant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_ferret

Exactly, although I was never a massive fan of the EU, I could not see it worth taking the huge risk of leaving the club for some dubious rewards some time in the future. I was listening to a programme on Radio 4 this evening called the briefing room, its probably available on their web site if...

Drum is over 2500 ft high, so I am riding from sea level up to that height in 4 miles. You also have to consider the surface you are riding on, its mud, grass, loose rocks, ie difficult surface that saps the energy of both you and the bike battery. I don't know how steep some of the gradients...

I have to admit I watch a fair amount of TV but hardly any adverts. I watch football live but at half time I will switch over to something I have recorded to avoid the adverts then switch back when the game is about to start. Most other sports I am interested in (Golf, cycling, boxing etc) I...

Something I have forgotten to add about the Neo, considering its a racing bike, its much more comfortable to ride than I was expecting. If any of you are like me and rode racing bikes 20 plus years ago and remember how uncomfortable they were then I have some good news for you. The Neo is a...

Nice pics Chris, I think the answer to that question is like many things is it depends. I have the Active Line Plus motor in my road racing bike and it has got me up all the on road hills that I have tried in my area without too much effort. However I have the CX motor in my e-mtb and that...

Agree 100% its a massive shame there were not more MPs from an engineering background in Government, perhaps then we would not have had to go through the last three years of the Brexit fiasco.

Good luck to you, its always nice to see people starting new bike related type businesses, I always admire people who have the guts to start something new like this.

To what voltage would they be able to up it to? Once again I don't think this is that simple. I seem to remember there are supply regulations that govern both single and three phase supplies. These stipulate items such maximum and minimum voltages and frequencies. Supply authorities do...

It certainly sounds easy to do, but just like Brexit I suspect it might be a bit more complicated. I have not looked at this in any detail but off the top of my head. The cables feeding the lampposts, the switch gear controlling those cables, the transformers in the sub stations, would all...

Some one said last night that the DUP might instead of voting for Mays deal, abstain. This will still mean May will need a lot of Labour MPs to either support her deal or abstain as well to get it passed. I would not be surprised if the DUP do abstain then JRM and most of the other Ultras...

So what do you all think is the mostly likely thing to happen now regarding Brexit. Note I am asking what you all think is the most likely thing, and not what you want to happen. I think the most likely thing is a much softer Brexit (Common market 2.0). I would prefer no Brexit at all, but...

Some people think she will promise to leave once her deal gets through and so she will not be the one negotiation the next stage with the EU. Her hope being this will be enough to persuade most of the ERG to vote for her deal and she can finish saying that she has delivered Brexit. Without the...

Although that's still the legal default, I think no deal is now much less likely to happen than say a month or so ago.

With the money that has been spent on no deal planning (4 billion), with the money that has been spent on hiring extra civil servants to replace the work that is currently done by the EU. With the lack of investment by businesses here and hence leading to reduces profits and so less tax...

Nice bike SW, it certainly doesn't look 5 years old. I like that stand your using to hold it up, where did you get if from?

I like doing the same thing in the mountains of North Wales, my wife calls me sad too, but its a nice feeling just for a short period of time being miles away from any other human being.

I take similar list Water Spare Tube Pump Lock (if planning on café stop) Money Tyre levers. Mobile Multi Tool If riding just into the mountains then don't bother taking lock or money. I can currently carry everything in my pockets (lots of room in my winter coat). Come the better...

Great news DLB I am sure you will enjoy it. If you get a chance feedback to the forum your thoughts on it once you have got some miles in on it. I don't think there are many of them about at the moment but I think people will be very pleased if they take a test ride on one.
