Flecc, Are these London only figures? If so, do you have the UK figures please?

I suppose that British e-bike sellers could ask the UK government to get a derogation for throttles because these will be important if sales are to increase. Most potential new e-bike purchasers are totally familiar with throttles, it is the pedelec that they do not understand. In any case...

When I was in Belgium where it was very flat (Ypres) I went 20 miles using level 2 assist only on slopes and into the wind. I still had 3 out of the 4 lights showing. However I was on average only doing about 10mph because I was sight seeing. It is amazing how much better a bike is for...

details say a Summer evening, unclassified road, 20 year old cyclist injured, 85 year old man killed.

In my area there have been three cycling fatalities. Two cyclists killed by cars and one pedestrian killed by a cycle.

Being a politician is hard work. Constantly at the beck and call of disgruntled constituents, many of whom are idiots. Going to meetings in all sorts of weather, taking unpopular decisions. Only persons with a well developed sense of their own self importance should try it.

The trouble is the party system. Every politician has a policy in his back pocket and has to seek support for it. Consequently, he will vote for your policy if you vote for his at party conference time. This then becomes party policy and every MP has to support it. This means that out spoken...

Roger, Your nickname isn't 'Lucky' by any chance?

Would there be a problem of these induction points attracting an unusual concentration of Radon laden dust?

With regard to the helmet. I wrote on here saying that there was no need for helmets, ridden bikes all my life etc. Following day, my phone rang, it was my son in law, he had just come of his bike. Got to him, he had 3 inch gash along the side of his head besides other injuries...

This main road for instance, the inner lane is for bikes, the dotted one for motor cycles, next is a bus lane and then only one carriageway for cars etc.

Makes you think though. How do other countries such as Belgium and Holland manage? I think it is a combination of a bloody minded one sideness to help cyclists, backed up by legislation. Certainly in Belgium, they will grab a chunk of the road width for bkes, even if that leaves only one car...

This is a possibility that occured to me. The squeak does not seem to be related to any part of any turning cycle either in the motor, the motor transmission or the chain transmission. If it only comes every 3 to 4 pedal turns, then in a 60 inch gear we are talking about every 20 feet along the...

d8veh Any luck with the de-sulphator? Mike

Read it, but as they say I am none the wiser.............but much better informed!

If only I could understand what you are talking about!........if only!

One thing that I am not clear about is the frequency of this squeak. Does it occur regulaly every 2 turns of the pedals and when the right hand pedal is in the same position? Does its frequency in relation to the turns of the pedal crank change when you change gear? Because it takes 2-3...

This one is a puzzler. If it only occurs every 2 turns of the pedals, it has to be something rotating slower than even the crank cog, which only leaves the chain! Does it instantly stop if you switch off? (ie must be related somehow to the electric assistance) Are you absolutely sure it is the...

Getting old now Flecc!! Remember the Raleigh steering locks?

That's what I liked about cycling in Belgium. Most places bikes have priority, you hit one regardless of circumstances, you get the ticket.
