    length of lockdown?

    There are quite a few 'missing' statistics, like how many have recovered. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Along with Spain, where Franco seems to have come out the woodwork. As I said before, the whole thing is a hoax, and we are being manipulated by fear to further the ends of this...

    length of lockdown?

    These have just been sent to me. make of them what you will, although it's what I suspected when I looked at the Worldometer site.

    length of lockdown?

    'I never watch the bbc unless I’m seeing what the next stage of legislation will be, or the next psychological subliminal messaging they wish to give.' I only look at the headlines to see what the latest BS is - I never watch the videos. When Gove told us that we must not get our information...

    length of lockdown?

    I see the BBC headline on YouTube says there COULD be a 'second wave', and the result COULD be 120,000 deaths. We have obviously reached another stage in the plan to rule with fear. I COULD have two weeks in the South of France with Samantha Fox, but the odds are heavily stacked against it.....

    length of lockdown?

    Well, Ive never known the UK be shut down before for a bout of the flu. I can only speak for what I have experienced personally and know for a fact. It amazes me that Coroni will not bother us until the 24th July, so we can go un-masked in to shops until then. I don't think you have to be a...

    length of lockdown?

    A whistleblower contacted the UK Column people, and said the intention was to 're-purpose' the civil service and local government. Our local town hall is closed and they will not say when they will re-open. Our recycling centre has moved to a system of booking to take anything in! I received a...

    length of lockdown?

    If you have a look at the UK Column.org website, or Dr Vernon Coleman on YouTube and his own site, you will see we are all being taken for mugs.

    E folders under a grand?

    I've looked at the NCM bikes, but I cannot find any proper reviews or feedback. Their site seems to give no indication of spares availability, and people on this site have said that the electrical parts are non-standard. You get a lot for your money, but you don't want problems trying to get spares.

    Radrunner

    When I first saw it, I thought it was marvellous! I must be a salesman's dream, but I was looking at it again today, and it's not for me. £70 for mudguards, single speed, no suspension, and those b****y great tyres that create so much drag. (Expensive to replace as well). Their cargo bike and...

    Yes, very smart. If I could still get on one, I would consider buying, at that price!

    NCM PARIS MAX N8R

    I have looked at their hub-motor models, and you seem to get a lot for your money but, like you, I cannot find out much about spares etc. The only review I can find is on YouTube from a German man. Probably a very nice bloke, but I don't speak German! Nothing on EBR. I did not know they did hub...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    That's a lovely bike, but the thing about buying ready-made is that you end up ditching components to build the bike you really want. If you can start with exactly the frame you want/need, then you kit it out to suit yourself. You can choose type/number of gears, seatpost, saddle, brakes...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    I searched on EBay for toothed pulleys, just out of interest, and it came up with ready-made ones, but rather expensive! They were in Germany.

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    You could buy this frame: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/frames/40-st-thorn-nomad-mk3-step-through-frame-gunmetal-imron/ plus a kit from Woosh.

    Bewildered!

    Yes, £2500 for a six mile journey does seem extreme. I thought vfr400 put it well. Keep looking and learning, and try and list what you would like. eg: Type of gears, type of motor, position of battery. Many dealers seem to have sold out at the moment, so your choice is limited. Try and wait...

    Advice Raleigh dover 7 years old

    Well, you are doing the right thing! You are asking around before leaping in. There seems to be a distinct shortage of bikes at the moment, as I am always browsing. No problem if you want to spend about four thousand, but lower down the scale seems to have been affected. Keep looking and...

    Just checked delivery costs, and it's £600 more! Quite a difference. (and out of stock at present).

    Help! Hi I'm looking for a great folding bike

    Probably best to have it and not need it than need it and not have it! I try and avoid holes etc, but front suspension is a boon. We had to travel to West Sussex recently for a funeral, and there were potholes we had to avoid with a CAR! I couldn't believe it.
