    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG, I really don't think it would have made any difference if they had had Donald Duck as their best chance - it was anybody, anybody at all to stop the Democrats. Actually Donald Duck would probably make a better President than Trump! Tom

    Need help selecting ebike

    It's actually an irrelevance for the most part Andy but can present problems when things go wrong. Philosophically, I like the crank-drive system with battery inside the frame triangle for best balance of the heavy components. Internal hub gearing, which is very nice and generally very...

    Need help selecting ebike

    If you're not careful Andy, someone will come along and tell you that what you need is bike XYZ and that it's worth every penny of the £4500 price tag. Have you ridden any yet? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some time ago, I alluded to the fact that 'Brexit' wasn't simply an expression of a desire on the part of some people for an independent UK, ouside of the EU. My fear then was that there was something far worse afoot - the re-emergence of fascism led by lunatic minor politicians. The events...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here is an interesting little piece to do with the Daily Mail. Obviously, as one who does not buy that organ, I know nothing of their advertising material nor whose products appear in that paper. This is from 'The Canary', an occasional source of interesting political titbits...

    Best bike for least peddling

    Perhaps unsurprisingly Andy, yes I do....that's why I like to read the latest material about the EAPC world in the UK.:) Actually, I have three EAPCs and two manually-powered, FS MTBs. The MTBs are ok on the flat but tire me out too quickly on hilly terrain. For that reason, which might be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    With all the nonsense that has surfaced since the referendum, particularly with regard to parliamentary authority, the judiciary and democratic process, I think it's time to remind ourselves exactly who makes the real decisions in our lives. The guy who holds the purse strings inevitably...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Now, I know you're only joking Dave. You're such a softy, I bet you'd let forum 'Brexidiots' have 5% discount off that 20% increased price! That would be good for business, good for the economy and good for Britain!:rolleyes: Tom

    Best bike for least peddling

    The point has been well made here, particularly by 'Artstu' but I can remember when I was very young being defeated on occasions by the odd, very steep hill when I was exhausted. I got off the bike and walked it up to the top or just stopped, sat down and had a breather. Nowadays, of course, I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    One suspects the story about the nasty press, judges, democratic freedoms and rights is about to be kicked into the long grass to make way for this far more important story about the nasty press, royals and their democratic freedoms and rights. How convenient that this matter suddenly emerges...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, he is Trex. Of course, he is not alone but he epitomises the tory party, as did his disgusting father. These are the kind of people who have waged war against the lower classes through the centuries. For them, expressions like democracy, human rights, civil rights, fairness, trade...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How does a tory government deal with a financial disaster brought upon the country by the recklessness of their friends, the bankers? Well, I think we now know who has to pay for their casino-gambing with other people's money and just as an aside, this is the sector where Nigel Farage learned...
