    Hybrid cars

    flecc can you see the price of e-cars coming down in the next couple of years to that of a similar spec i.c. car? I know they have much lower running costs so over say a 6 or 7 year period the costs are probably very similar. However it is still a big chuck of money (for me anyway) to splash...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    There is a good video here about the difference between conventional and assisted racing bikes, and also about riding with a group with an assisted racing bike.

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    I've now done just over 100 miles on the Neo so can provide a bit more feedback to the forum. I've ridden up most of the hills that I usually ride up in my area and the Bosch Active Line Plus motor has been absolutely fine on all of them. The motor is not as powerful as the CX motor on my mtb...

    Hybrid cars

    Anyone any thoughts on electric motorcycles? I was reading this morning in Bike magazine that HD are due to bring out a new electric motorcycle towards the end of the year. Named the Livewire it looks quite nice but at £29,000 its about £19,000 more than what I would be willing to pay for a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There was a mix up in the broad cast May made to the Nation the other night from 10 Downing St. This is what was supposed to go out.

    No but there has to be some trick cyclists on a site like this.

    Hybrid cars

    While having coffee break this morning a Father and Son came by and starting chatting about my e-bike. The discussion moved on to electric cars and the son told me he had recently purchased a hybrid VW Golf. He gets about 30 miles out of the battery from it, but as his work commute is only 12...

    Weasel

    While cycling along a coastal cycle track this morning a Weasel ran right across in front of me. I'm 95% sure it was a Weasel as I didn't notice a black bit on the end of its tale that Stoats have. This is the first time I have seen a Weasel for over 40 years, so it was quite pleasing. I see...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    David Lidington I would have thought. He will have a slight chance of preventing the Tory party from imploding, anyone else has virtually no chance. The sad thing is there have been numerous opportunities for JC to display leadership and statesmanship in the last few months and on virtually...

    Imagine if it went to 17.5 million. I would love to see Andrea Leadsom's face then.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think we have been extremely unlucky to end up with two of the worst party leaders (JC and TM) we have ever had, both in place at the same time and while we are having to deal with one of the biggest peace time crises. Difficult to see how they could both handle things much worse.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There was a Labour MP on the BBCs lunch time Politics Show today saying that this might not be the case. There may be a way to have a longer than 3 month extension and for our existing MEPs to stay in place for a bit longer than they should. This has never been done before but then again no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree Corbyn has been a massive disappointment over Brexit and other things. I don't know how true it is but I have heard he never really wanted to become leader but was talked into it. Also that he has two very left wing advisors who are the actual brains behind him and they basically...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I heard about this quite a while ago, nothing came of it but people were aware of what might have been going on. I imagine if there was something that could stand up in court on this then action would have already been taken. I would not be surprised if he did this, but proving it might be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I imagine they don't want to take the risk for being blamed for creating a WTO Brexit if they refuse an extension and we then leave on the 29th. Not sure why TM and her advisors could not foresee the Speaker acting the way he did today, this has been talked about before I find it hard to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Won't MPs wait to see if the EU will grant some sort of extension, which I suspect they will. Only in the event of the EU not providing an extension would they consider an emergency motion to revoke. At least that how I imagine it would work, but I'm no expert on these types of procedures.
