I resisted sending this in the interests of peace and harmony. :rolleyes:

Good afternoon, Thank you for your email. The issue you have raised is being considered and a reply will issue shortly. Kind Regards Brian Brian Burns | DfI Private Office Room 7-08 | Clarence Court | 10-18 Adelaide Street | Belfast | BT2 8GB Email: brian.burns@infrastructure-ni.gov.uk

Right, NASA standard PC fired up. With respect Flecc I sent a batch of literature collected from past mails to Dept of Infrastructure as attachments last Sunday so it would be difficult even for a confused person to be unaware of "what it's all about". I know I can be a bit heavy at times but I...

Just as I read your replies I get a response from Infrastructure. Can't copy and post on this tablet but the reply is "The issue you have raised is being considered and a reply will issue shortly". Not sure about the grammar or indeed the reference to "consider" but I wasn't born last weekend...

Thank you for posting that. It will be interesting to read my reply, if I get one. If this is a standard response then it doesn't say much. We know what their objectives are already, it would have been nice to have been told that they are proposing to "sign off" pedelecs as we had asked. Is it...

He is the champion of the bicycle - isn't he?

Easy my friend, she said she can't do anything but she was sympathetic and understood our plight. Very nice and very agreeable lady in an unrewarding and difficult job.

With respect I am not entirely convinced any communication with the Chief Constable will aid our cause. As I (boringly) said several times we were granted a face to face with the Chief of Roads Policing and she pointed out in no uncertain terms that this was not going to ever be a police matter...

Can't argue with you Tommie lad. I just tried to subtly explain the situation we have been in but you have arrived with the sledgehammer approach. Not wrong though.

Three years of restfulness - a bit of exercise will do them the world of good.

Really appreciate all the support from our 2 wheeled friends. We can only hope that with your help we will be taken seriously in our simple quest to ride bicycles again legally. No debates, no bickering, no walking out in a huff. Nobody is objecting, it is an administration issue. How hard can...

Five e-mails off at the weekend to MP's at Stormont. Considering this is the beginning of hopefully a new start up there I didn't expect much but I did get a few replies, two positive and one from the Infrastructure Minister who said ; Good afternoon Thank you for your email. As this is a...

And I disagree with you. I have been battling this stupidity since 2015 with countless mails and letters to MP's at Stormont. We have had a face to face with the leader of the Green Party at his offices in Stormont and been assured that whenever their hands are "released" the matter regarding...

Sorry but we could never agree to accepting that our bicycles are mopeds. The more folk who do the registration, the more those in power will stick to upholding this ludicrous "law". Slippery slope time.

Splendid. Mails from me off to the both of them presto pronto. Many thanks for sending the body of yours Flecc. I can't hope to better that but I will do what I can to keep this topic alive at Stormont.

What can I say Flecc. Top man, many thanks. We very much appreciate what you have done. Ted.

I think I said before that we were granted a face to face with Stephen Agnew at Stormont a while back when he was Green leader. To be fair we were treated well and shown around but at the time he admitted that his hands were tied which was true as the place was in shutdown mode. He offered...

Just seen your post SS. I have spent most of the morning emailing a goodly number of politicians pointing out that although it is early days for any sort of Stormont revival they should remember that we have been patient with our attempts to stay legal for over two years now and I would urge...

Only a few days ago I heard from one of the sleeping, resting, bickering people in "power" and he said that he was furious that we in the UK are different from the rest of the UK and will do all he can to bring this to the attention of the rest of the slumbering giants as soon as possible. Hmm.

Damian, we have had this discussion before and I fully accept your views but our position is still the same. I have had further contact with the Chief of Roads Policing and the reply was as before that the PSNI will be reluctant to become involved in anyone using an ebike e.g. you or the scores...
