Of course the charge of aggression is clear cut in these circumstances, just as it is on our side of guilt. Putin cannot have been correctly indicted when Russia is not a signatory to the court's creation. That is part of what democracy means. .

But does it matter, nobody is going to be surprised? The only people affected are the customers and shareholders, the wealthy and their victims, so nothing new. The human world is predominately a corrupt place where the wealthy minority mostly become that by swindling the majority. Of course...

No, really? The DUP people in the Belfast area who I know maintain that they are extremely tolerant. ;) .

Read the article linked to later and you'll be much better informed about the dearth of cycling in China. The Chinese don't like pedalling and as Wai Won Ching, boss of Ezee Kinetics posted, they don't understand our obsession with cycling up hills, always walking up theirs. In that linked...

You'd like shopping at my posh location Sainsburys superstore, always a selection of Porsches in the car park. Saw a first there yesterday, a new black Tesla model X. Model S and even model 3 are commonplace here, but I'd never seen an X in the flesh. .

Yes, as a bridleway cycling through is allowed by the Countryside Act 1968. It unusually only covered two wheeled bicycles, whereas most UK Bicycle law refers to Bicycles, Tricycles and Bicycles with four or more wheels. However, the government backed SUSTRANS organisation has since gained...

Sorry to learn that, hopefully a new Boxter will help, but best be quick. After years of teasing us, prospects for a new electric Boxter don't look good: R & D boss Dr Michael Steiner said in March 2020: ‘We are running several electrified Boxsters to gain expertise and knowledge to see how...

Wish it was, it's just crashed very low several minutes ago. thanks to my dud heart valve not closing. I don't know how low, but after I'd recovered enough to check it on the monitor it was 71/43. Not my worst though, that was 57/46 and I've had a few zeros. .

That is legally a Toucan crossing, where cycling across is entirely legal. They are unaffected by either the ministerial order on pavement cycling or Justice Waller's ruling. Link: Highway Code Rule 25 Edit: Post crossed with Nigelbb's. .

As I've posted before, the bans on ICE cars is not an EU matter, it is a decision for individual countries. Though many countries have made the move to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040, Germany is one of the few nations that has chosen to leave the decision to individual...

But there you collide with a legal conflict due to this pedestrian crossing test case outcome: "a rider either seated on a bike or with a foot on a pedal as in scooting is not a pedestrian, as ruled by Waller L J in the Court of Appeal, (Crank v Brooks [1980] RTR 441)." Therefore cycling on a...

Nonsense, your pro-ICE bias makes you very slow to learn. So once again, try looking at the facts: 1) 5000 spaces isn't necessarily 5000 cars. 2) Only 2% of our cars are pure battery e-cars. 3) People use East Midlands airport because it is their local airport. 4) 85% of e-car owners have a...

I too question whether the ordeal of flying somewhere is worth it, to the extent that since retiring 32 years ago I haven't flown anywhere. But for me the ordeal was always the aggro before and after. The trip to the airport, checking in, the long delay after checking in before the flight...

Of course impossible to do with a torque sensing pedelec since the motor doing all the work is a test condition. .

Not completely true. First, there is no such thing as an ebike in EU or UK legislation. There is one class of assisted cycle, called EPAC (Electric Power Assisted Cycle) in the EU and EAPC (Electric Assisted Pedal Cycle) in the UK. There are also three classes of moped in the EU, the latter...

That's good Billy, it stops drivers coming too close when overtaking, or if one does get too close it will only clip the mirror, an added safety feature. .

Someone has told Jeremy Hunt that a qubit can be either an 0 or a 1, or even equal both at the same time. So in his budget he's investing in the development of quantum computers and AI. Could pay off. A quantum computer programmed by what we like to think is AI could make our national debt...

I agree with Nealh, you have the best combination already, the older Heinzmann motor having excellent torque. Spending on a good replacement trailer will be far cheaper than a big enough electric cargo bike. .

Potentially a licence to abuse for the unscrupulous if not watched very carefully. An additional occupation for the current people smugglers, getting paid for return journeys instead of just singles. .

TGA Electrobike, sadly discontinued years ago instead of being developed. .
