The opening sentence in that article is incorrect. It implies that the police have decided that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute, but later on reveals that it was actually The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) who took the decision. Unfortunately it is very easy to opt for the lesser...

Given a choice I'd always rather have hydraulic disk brakes, but there is nothing wrong with mechanical disks brakes. It just depends what you buy. I've got these mechanical disk brakes on my road bike...

I'm hearing reports of a third Impulse motor fitted to a Kalkhoff starting to fail. Does anyone know of an Impulse motor lasting for more than 3000 miles? A bike in the Kalkhoff price range should easily cover 10000 without any issues. The Impulse motor seems to be a lemon an Kalkhoff need to...

I use those Cree lights that come with the external battery pack on the front, but mine are wired into the bike's battery. I somehow feel safer with a good rear light and use this...

I hope you are right, but I fear a disaster is starting gather pace in Europe.

I'm afraid she has demonstrated breathtaking insanity. Her act of allowing an uncontrolled, unchecked flow of people from an area where savages are known to be at large went well beyond a mistake. She has committed an act of treachery against German people and people in other European countries...

I don't think governments ever signed up to what is currently taking place. I'm sure the original agreements and treaties were constructed with good intent and for the best of reasons. However, that process has now been hijacked and is being used as a conduit to free money and resources by...

I've read this thread from begining to end and I can't find the bit where somebody suggested throwing human beings into the oceans. In case I missed it, can you link to that bit please? Merkel is insane and her insanity stems from the fact that she doesn't know if she has accepted refugees...

I see that the French PM has warned mass migration is putting the EU at risk. Not such a good idea now is it? I think anyone with an ounce of common sense has known that mass migration is a bad thing for many years and that it is an impending disaster. Both Schengen and the Euro, the two EU...

Non of this addresses the issue of our ballooning population and the devastating affect that is having on our services and infrastructure. When is enough enough? Nobody seems to know and that is worrying. I still think we need to slam the door firmly shut and start the deportation of people who...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to preserve the English countryside from housing development. It's the numbers again. More people means that more housing is required and uncontrolled immigration is adding to the numbers placing a demand on housing (note I used the word adding, it...

I bought a MINIX NEO X8-h Plus between Christmas and the New Year. Only just got around to exploring what it can do. It now rates as one of my best purchases of 2015.

I usually agree with most of what you say John, but I can't on this occaision. The number of ex UK residents living in mainland Europe, both east and west and claiming benefits will be virtually non-existent. I suspect that most will be either retired and now supporting themselves from a...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a young mother, or a young father for that matter. No one is penalising anyone. If the young parents choose to bring a baby into the world, that is their choice, no one has forced them into that decision. However, people need to learn that with that...

I'm not sure what a Bosch Nyon system is, but from what I've read here, it sounds like a SatNav for bike? If that is what you want, I have a Garmin EDGE 1000 and it's fantastic. You can load Open Street Maps (OSM) onto it, free of charge. These are also excellent and very up to date. Garmin...

I don't think that age of consent and teenage pregnancies are linked. I believe that the main factor is poor parenting. Stand on any high street and you would be able to pick out the odds-on favourites to be up the duff before they are 20. Swap the policy of giving them a furnished house or...

I think that we have judged it about right at 16 in this country.

Whenever I see images of people campaigning for the lowering of the age of homosexual consent, why do I always see middle aged men wearing leather trousers? I never see 13 year old boys carrying placards. Just an observation.

That's true, but a warranty is only a statement by the manufacturer to say that they won't quibble over a repair during a defined period, ie their warranty period. If that same engine developed a fault one year after the manufacturer's warranty ran out and it was a Mercedes with low mileage...

Let's be clear. If you are selling bikes in the UK fitted with that motor, you won't be selling ebikes, you will be selling electric mopeds which your customers won't be able to legally use in the UK. Unless you make that point abundantly clear, by that I mean the most prominent feature of your...
