Confirmed as below by James Brown, International Vehicle Standards, Department for Transport: "As part of the GB EAPC amending legislation, that will come into force on 6 April 2015, the requirement for the marking identification has been amended. Previously a plate showing the manufacturer...

The law says the label must be on the bike in an accessible position, as your photo shows. .

The Japanese have this clearly laid down in law. Cyclist can ride on pedestrian facilities and in some congested city areas have to by law. But when doing this the speed limit for them is 10kph, which is 6.25 mph. In practice their police are happy with up to 12kph (8mph) then. .

The procedure is that the Police of other authority apply to the magistrates for the order to crush, so the owner has plenty of opportunity to argue against it. In practice owners rarely oppose, often because the vehicle cannot be type approved and therefore cannot be made legal. .

David Henshaw of A to B magazine did this successfully with the Panasonic unit in a Giant Lafree. .

BS from a twerp. .

They look like hybrids to me, not pure battery buses Why are you raking up this historic rubbish? We've had lots of buses burn out in London, most of them diesels. The last to burn here was in January, a solely diesel bus with the fire starting in its rear engine bay. .

Longevity is only partly due to the environment, it's mainly about wealth. The richer in the richest boroughs live longer. The poorer in the poorest boroughs die sooner. It was like that when my parents were born in the 1900s and that hasn't changed since. .

How to avoid neck pain? Ride sitting upright with comfort handlebars, like the Dutch, the Danes, the Germans, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Africans, the Indians and numerous others in the third world. Together well over half the entire world's population, they are hardly likely to be wrong. .

Agreed. I set up both my pedelec conversions with SRAM twistshifts and Shimano rear mechanisms and never had the slightest difficulty in gear changing, even spanning to Megarange sprockets. .

They've wasted their time creating it, the £125,000 it costs is over 27 years of the daily ULEZ charge. Anyone with that kind of money to waste will drive a much better car of their choice and pay the charge, should they still insist on an i.c. one. But that won't be for long before they...

I didn't claim it was just particulates in the underground, just that it is over whelmingly brake particulates. That is the opposite of the position on the roads, where brake particulates as a proportion of pollution are low, and decreasing with every additional e-vehicle, since they use...

One of the worst aspects of the web is the way it's polluted with idiots like this, giving wholly misleading information to promote a personal agenda, in this case his anti e-car agenda. The nature of the pollution in the London Underground system is entirely different from that above ground so...

I often don't, even with alloy frames. I've even fitted a Marathon Plus this way and tubes are a doddle:

Certainly offering a lot for the price. .

That report has already been rubbished. The average increase in weight is far too low to double the road damage, or even increase it to any extent. A comparison across a large range of e-cars and their ic alternatives show from 11% weight increase in smaller cars up to a maximum of 30% increase...

Route up to 50 garages at the top of this 14% hill. With each passing car the hollows in this council road get deeper:

I didn't fall for this for one moment as my posting record shows, insisting Russia will come out of this conflict on top in the end. Even before the "special operation" started I posted that the true objective was to take control of the two seas by seizing Ukraine's south, Kiev only a option if...

One thing is certain, the Russians are not going to let go of the territory they've gained, with its control of both the Azov and Black Seas and the direct land access to Crimea. I can foresee a future cease fire with a UN blue beret force on the current boundaries acting as the peace keepers...

Member BoostBikes and that company are obviously utterly clueless about the legal position in many countries in the world. For starters their bikes all permit 20mph with assistance as standard, making them illegal as assisted bicycles in all of the countries in Europe including the UK, plus...
