    Vaccination sense

    I agree. We had a measles epidemic in Swansea last winter because of these fools. One man died.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    I am sorry but I do not want to get into an argument with you over this. The vast experience of injuries received and observed at A+E does not make the doctors experts at the nature of impacts. True they may be better at treating those injuries, but they are not qualified to say 'If he had not...

    First Impressions!

    As Flecc says above, most folders will be compromises. Mine is a Woosh Gale. The motor only drives it up to about 12 mph which is fine for the use that I put I to. The Gale folds well and locks together solidly. It is small but weighs over 20 kilo so you would not want to carry it far. As an...

    bike mirrors

    I use the Blackburn and it is excellent. No vibration which is the problem with most mirrors and a clear view

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Because my evidence derived from the experience of the falling bottle is a repeatable experiment. The only conclusion I draw is that the nature of contact surfaces is highly relevant. The experience of A+E staff is not to do with the nature of collisions and is completely subjective i.e. a guess.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Cannot you see that this is a load of tosh? The physics involved in an accident are highly complex, and just to look at an injury in the A+E cannot give any indication of the nature of the collision. I replaced the tarmac on my drive with chippings when my wife became crippled with arthritis. I...

    Schumacher's Helmet

    That is a very sensible precaution, particularly for the over 70's. Underpants can be extremely dangerous. But I think your figure is wrong, I heard that it is more like 11-12 deaths per year. I was putting mine on only the other morning when I had a passing giddy spell, as we geriatrics...

    Can you identify this e-hub please

    Likely to be Chinese pictograms. That last picto looks very like the 'Yi' shown on the handlebar display of the fantastic sprung seat bike just posted on another thread

    New tyres....twisted !

    Try leaving them in hot water. I had some tyres for my boat trailer that had been squashed together for the courier. They came back to normal in hot water. When I ordered some Schwalbe Road Cruisers, some Titan had flattened them and taped them so tightly that I thought that only one tyre had...

    Schumacher's Helmet

    Personally, having fallen off bikes and motor bikes a few times, I always found a good pair of gloves to be of more use, and when my children made those first faltering runs on a two wheeler, I insisted on them wearing gloves.

    Schumacher's Helmet

    I wear a helmet because I want to. That is my free choice and I don't want some busybody-nanny knows best-control freak telling me I MUST wear one. This used to be a free country, but now I ask, just why did our freedom go? It went because we allowed ourselves to be controlled by people with an...

    Good news - ETRA liquidated

    To me, that Chinese scooter looks great. Cast wheels so no broken spoke problems, Rudimentary leg shields so that on wet days, you can just twist the throttle and tuck your legs in. Provided that the motor/wiring etc. are OK, I would ride one. The whole thing speaks robustness and not some super...

    Website update is good

    I find the new form at OK, except for the annoying background picture that I get around the sides. Better if it was just blank

    Schumacher's Helmet

    I am not comparing them. I understand and value freedom. That's it.

    New site

    The only thing that I don't like is the photo of the sky in the background. It is too bright and distracting. Also, I cannot pull the thumbnails of the Viking panniers up
