Thanks to Deno for making me aware of this range of bikes. What do people think of them? Here is a link to the bikes. https://www.cannondale.com/en/Great%20Britain/Products/ProductCategory.aspx?nid=e1887f30-a25a-4f9a-bcd4-792a7a7d965a I think the following is good. Strong motor(Bosch Active...

I'm no fan of TM but I don't think she could learn much from Trump. Apparently North Korea are rebuilding one of their rocket launch sites see link below. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-47465082 This will probably be dismissed as fake news by DT. How does he get away with saying any...

Almost certain this is SW going to a fancy dress party dressed as a Priest while he was on his holls in Italy.

Nice find Deno this is getting much closer to what I would like. If it was 12 kg and not 18 I would buy one right now. My guess is that in a few years e-racing bikes will have this kind of spec but a weight or around the 12 kg mark.

I'm not a computer expert by any means, but would an AI programme not use lots of computers (possibly via the internet) so that it would have lots of computer power available? Perhaps it could also make use of quantum computers? I read recently that AI systems are now starting to design new...

What happens when computers start creating their own software? I have a mate with a Phd in Computer Science he says people have been saying self aware computers will be with us in the next 10 to 15 years, but also people have been saying this for about 30 years. So he says it might never...

I think Grayling is going to be on the next flight. Its going to be carrying a Monkey, Graylings task will be to feed the Monkey.

I may have to accept the fact that what I am looking for in a racer type pedelec just is not available at the current moment in time. I would like something that weighs around the 13 to 15 kg but provides good assistance on steep hills. I have read good reviews about the motor and battery on...

I think the Gain is about 10 kg lighter than my e-mtb, so that should help mitigate the less powerful motor, hopefully anyway. Having said that I recently test rode the Cube Agree with the Fazua motor and an Ultegra group set, weight was probably around 13 kg. Therefore a lot lighter than my...

Cheers for this Roy I will look forward to reading it. I am 12 years younger than you but due to health problems very unlikely to reach your level of cycling fitness. My problem is getting up hills, what is the Gain like on max assist level getting up say a 14% hill. I can just about get up...

Deere John what camera did you use to take that last pic with? It seems very good quality, much better than the ones I take with my cheapo smart phone.

This covered it quite well I thought. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/01/brexit-trump-trade-hanoi

What did you think of John McDonnel last night. He started off in his normal calm and reasonable manner, but once the two Labour MPs starting questioning his version of events he started to lose it. Did you see how much his foot was shaking when both those MPs started to contradict him, he...

If we do get a second vote (and its a big if) then I like this guys thoughts on it, he talks a lot of sense. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/28/peoples-vote-campaign-remain-leave-voters

I road tested a Cube racing bike with one of these motors fitted recently. Unfortunately I was far from impressed. It was fine on the flat or slight hill, but anything steep it provided hardly any assistance. Shame really as I liked the look of the bike and it was nice and light. It would...

What do you think of this article? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/27/labour-chris-williamson-antisemitism

I mentioned Chris Williamson in a post on here the other day (by mistake I called him Chris Wilkinson). I said I found him a very scary individual who I would not like to see in any kind of position of power. He has recently been videoed giving his true thoughts on anti-Semitism. I think it...

Guardian has the story here https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/25/labour-to-back-moves-for-second-brexit-referendum

PM prog on Radio 4 just said JC is about to announce Labour is going to try hard for a second referendum. Has anyone hear anything?

I've done nearly 3000 miles on my Smart Sams, about 400 of those miles were tough off road ridding. I think they are decent tyres for the price but they don't provide much puncture protection from thorns. I do a lot of my ridding on little country roads with hedges containing thorn bushes on...
