If a kit had a 4mph limiter now, then it'd satisfy the regs for 3yrs. Then dealer could take the limit off. Some kits already have a walking speed throttle feature! There are elec assist kits for wheelchairs, but don't know where & probably v.expensive. Useful safety item would be a centrifugal...

First 190 Bulgarians, of some 900 expected, arrived in Ireland today, by air. So maybe another plane, or they were packed in hold too, as freight! Hehe :-) Irish airline said it would restart flights with middle seat of each 3 empty. As we know the air, heated via the engines, is largely...

News is not encouraging. "Scientists around the world have analysed more than 2,500 publicly shared Covid-19 genomes and identified 100-150 variations". Irish Times...

How to concentrate 'sanitizer' up to the ideal 70% And sterilize masks at 75deg for 30mins. Now all we need is the Pee stick Covid test :-)

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/asia-pacific/deleted-pages-suggest-china-clamping-down-on-coronavirus-research-1.4227107?mode=amp Bit of "news management" going on.

Restrictions in Ireland just been extended to 5th May, at least, woohoo, put foreign reg plate on car and carry on ! Officials still using lack of reagent as reason for lack of testing, despite IRL being 2nd largest *exporter* of reagent in EU, to the US. If we don't test a sufficient random...

Tho that story shows on 'Irish Sun', it's not coming up on https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/ or https://gmanetwork.com/news/ But they are saying Bike Sales Doubled, as no public transport. And People complaining they're not getting their state relief money 1month into lockdown, with a question...

Report on radio said virus had jumped to New York Zoo animals. It's having a go at the fauna now, again, see pic! So, was the Green Monkey rumour true too? 8-)

It's a grim scenario all round. Everyone has to come out some time, and may then contact someone or something contaminated while shopping. Wait maybe 18 months for vaccine. Meanwhile a crippling debt is being run up by governments, and economies may collapse, unless they/we break the chain by...

Ebikebatteries.co.uk have these Silverfish style batteries advertised. Confusingly they say they're LG MG1 celled (cylindrical 18650's), then below say "pouch" cells used. Check, and select whether top or bottom power connection type required for your application. £280 last time i looked...

Social distancing bike, approx 12ft long, but no chain drive, so not legal, pity! 8-)

Do they reduce your speed, or can you go faster, better aerodynamics? (There, I've managed to get the 's' & 'f' words into the same question, there'll be complaints, hehe ;-) )

That's it, instead of hibernating it, build it up into a Cargo bike, complete with Trailer tow bar & cup holder! Up the Gale's load capacity with folding baskets/panniers, within 25kg limit :-) mmm. Do those square panniers catch ur heels or interfere with the folding?. Apologies if I'm...

I still get out for exercise, cycle around, and along the local cycle lane. Yes, that's all of it! 8-)

Instead of putting it to bed, you can get your weeks shopping on it. Just find a better way of carrying it than me. I could see those bag handles tearing!

On this lighter point, I do find that having a big conk (no stop it!), means masks don't usually fit me. And my warm breath goes up out and fogs me specs up. So bad protection, and i can't see where I'm going (think Mr McGoo 8-).

True, prob better to say "the kit from a manufacturer in China". But the difference this time is that the equipment in question is a matter of life or death :( I think the 200M€ worth of PPE, just arrived this afternoon in IRL, will no doubt be v.carefully checked..

Thought so. Fast, Cheap, Accurate.. Pick any two. :-(
