    Petition to increase speed assist limit on E bikes

    Mmm. The rules already make sense. If you want to be powered over the 15.5 mph limit buy a moped or fire blade, register it, insure and tax it.. As far as emtb is concerned, even with limit I have doubled my average speeds. On roads the 15 5 mph limit is perfect for climbing ( don't think...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I, ve been pleasantly surprised at numbers around us (Rotherham) that were vaccinated initially. Think it's slowed somewhat now (awaiting 2nd jab?) but hopefully now AZ is coming on line things should get moving. Quite a few nurses live on our street (and since lockdown we, ve had a great...

    Reminds me of George Bush Jnr's comment about French.. "they don't have a word for 'entrepreneur'" Bet it's made up.. Barry is taking stick on my behalf. Danidl thought my post jingoistic... Not his.. Perhaps was, wasn't intended. Its not first time Barry has stuck his head above parapet to...

    Apologies to him if that's the case for his style of speech... He, s done well considering... But his content and line of approach is always either egotistical, obvious, simplistic or a combination of all three.. You, ve probably gathered I, m not well impressed with most of media..They have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see your point but don't you think some newsreaders seem to revel in bad news. Huw Edwards seems to come alive announcing number of deaths and that idiot Preston with his deliberate slow speech is a complete idiot. The media throughout this has been appalling, TV showing similar levels of bias...

    Phone them flecc. Daughter and her husband were called at work (both in fire service) to have vaccine, nearby hospital had spare owing to quite a few not turning up... They didn't want to waste vials so were offering shots to Emergency Service personnel. They get their second on 5th Jan... All...

    Like we said a while ago, if there was one for stupidity, the stupid wouldn't have it.. My sailing forum has already thrown up a few anti vaxers... 3 saying they won't have it... (it's somebody pressing reset button apparently???)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Its not jingoism.. Its celebrating good news and a great achievement. Those involved deserve praise and our thanks. Yes, the deaths are terrible which only makes today's news more celebratory. Imagine where we would be if AZ/Oxford vaccine had failed Mhra scrutiny or had not provided immunity...

    Petition to increase speed assist limit on E bikes

    I, m perfectly happy with speed limited to 15 mph... First of all safety... Might be subjective but somehow averaging 15 mph (or there abouts) is different entirely to 20 ish... IMHO it's the speed at which stuff gets dangerous... Then there is the range... Powered at 20mph reduces range very...

    Think we should be applauding PHE, Mhra, Asta Zenaca, Oxford etc for us being first country in world to get off mark with vaccine. USA won't be getting going til April... We should be starting ours next week. Well done... Some good news. We can see the harbour but we are still out at sea in a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yep, I think that's the general opinion short term... But in a year? 3 years? I believe numbers talked about are 20 or so mutations monthly... From what I, ve read a new, or modified, vaccine will be needed in future. ??? Might need one for current strain in London???? How quick can process be...

    So will they be able to modify Covid vaccines without going through trials process? You seem rather more knowledgeable with these things..

    Is it a case of needs must and all that. I, d guess other issue is since virus is mutating at some point vaccine will need to change, but they already have millions of this one??? Use it before it's obsolete?? They can stick some in my arm, the sooner the better.?? How do they authorise yearly...
