if this in fact reduces car journeys elsewhere (and this may be the case) its possibly a price worth paying. in fact it is online delivery which enables me to live without a car! What annoys me though is people trying to spin a unpopular business decision from either side of the political arena...

I heard about this a while back but other reports have claimed the same thing was happening more due to Royal Mail's push towards "greater commercial efficiencies.." (i.e short term gain). bear in mind too thats the word of a chairman who is leaving (to take over ITV!) rather than someone...

well the Japanese couple managed to get their dog a lucrative part in a pet food advert :D (it shows the animal cycling to the store to buy its food!)

a while back I posted that youtube of a Japanese couple of about the same age as Morag and her hubby, who had successfully trained their pet dalmatian to ride a childs bicycle some distance down the street :D

I used to work in the TV industry as an engineer and Panasonic broadcast stuff always seemed to be good reliable workhorses if not as "innovative" as Sony (which was prone to all manner of teething troubles) - I expect this philosophy has carried through to their other equipment.

I remember David was mentioning that the Wisper website is being revamped. If the techies have altered or are altering the DNS record of wisperbikes.com particularly MX record to point elsewhere this can lead to exactly this kind of problem. Eventually it sorts itself out but it takes a while...

TBH to go that far back (or "far out") into the realms of design I'd suspect the designer took psychedelic substances as well :D

looks like a boneshaker (predecessor of todays push bike) with 1970s design elements..

I wonder if that is because neither David nor the Cambridge staff can get through on the phone and calls aren't being returned? :rolleyes: joking aside I think they really need to sort this out. Potential sales of thousands are being lost here, not just to one company to the whole industry...

the only cyclists I've seen dressed like this here are usually those who are holidaying from London :D. One big advantage of East Anglia's road layout is that motor traffic is filtered onto the A roads (A12/A14 etc) and its big anyway...

what areas do you live in? This behaviour is very rare even amongst the drivers of in flash cars in East Anglia. By and large many drivers are actually very corteous (although one major factor is flexible working means I do not cycle at rush hour).

this is more a case of restricting the power of private insurance companies and the legal profession who are the ones actually pushing these cases through the Courts. Which of course would cause bleating in the media about people being "denied justice". I've found since the 80s/90s the real...

it implies that support for both brands would come from Alien Ocean. As this of the two companies seemed to be the more reponsive one I think its a win for all concerned. The two companies have apparently always been linked anyway.

its a recent decline in casualty figures whilst its good news (and can't even be explained away by the recession) it also seems to coincide exactly with a greater deployment of surveillance infrastructure on the roads - not just speed cameras but ANPR linked CCTV and regular, constant and...

bear in mind also your age means you've got a foothold in that media industry and name, brand and track record behind you! its now near impossible for new entrant - you "need" degrees as well as contacts in the incestuous industry. Only last year I was chatting to a young lady who had abandoned...

Yes, its equivalent in casualty terms to a terrorist bomb happening every week! There's also the unfortunate attiude that IMO road traffic offences aren't viewed as crime as such compared to drugs or theft or violence... I obviously haven't always seen eye to eye with cops on many matters , but...

BTW I don't think that RTC's with cyclist as victim are underreported, I read London local news for the crime section (where the RTCs end up) and there are loads in there, and particularly nasty crashes make the nationals fairly often. I suspect its more that that people perhaps subconciously...

theres a handful of cases of cyclist vs pedestrian RTC each year, they are concentrated mostly around London and the SE where everyone seems to be more aggressive on the roads.. the cyclists not only stopped but appears to have turned himself in which counts in his favour. I expect a lot of you...

apologies for the off topic post - I was going to send a PM to mark but realised in the interests of fairness I should share my knowledge with all as every British e-bike company and dealer could benefit. For the telephone systems, the versions of Asterisk I use are with FreePBX which makes the...

Thanks - thats the chap I was looking for with the second hand UPS units!
