Please don't do that. He will come back when he outgrows his short trousers and stops wearing an elasticised tie.

Those are the exact words that I was going to type. You have saved me a job. I am genuinely sorry to see whatshisname leave, the forum needs every member that it can attract. Thingymajig's posts were informative and he definitely made a positive contribution. But, leaving and deleting your...

This thread had escaped my attention, until now. It's all very interesting and echoes what the prophets of Bicycle Armageddon have been saying for some time. This situation simply had to happen. Luckily, on this particular occaision, it's the rider of the ilegal bike who has suffered the...

If your bike is a legal electric bike, then it is still a pedal cycle so you can't be banned from driving, have points added to your licence or any of the other things which follow a drink driving conviction. If it is an ilegal electric bike, eg high power, exceeds 15 mph etc, then you leave...

I received an email too and was not able to access the site for several hours. These people disgust me. They have hacked into our site and stolen our personal information. In my mind this is equivelant to burglary and theft. Having gone to all of this effort, which is no minor task, they...

I don't think you ever will see that thread again. One of my threads disappeared under similar circumstances. Rumour has it that if a forum member complains too loudly they, "disappear" too. Forum members Elephants Gerald and Music Books are still missing. Their bikes are rusting away in an...

Nelson Mandela served 27 years and he hasn't re-offended since his release.

I wouldn't like to see the formation of a sub-forum. Electric bikes are a minority subject and any further division or fragmentation of topics will dilute the information too much. Personally, I am interested to read about some of the higher power kits and modifications undertaken by forum...

This tale is going wipe that smug, all knowing smile off the faces of those who are always saying, "You can't miss what you never had." The next time someone says that to me, I'll say, "What about the child who missed out on swimming lessons and then as an adult, rode their bicycle into a canal?"

We don't need any intrusive or restrictive measures to keep us all safe. We need danger to keep the number of idiots to a minimum. Health & Safety and other such nonsense is meddling with nature by artificially preventing tw@ts from succumbing to their natural and intended fate.

was that electrical installation carried out by a man from India?

I think the following quote may appeal to you: It is disgusting that these poor people are forced to perform just for our entertainment.

I'm sure that home insurance is mentioned in the above quote from you. But wait a minute.......... What's going on? You see, as illustrated above, your idea of a coherent argument differs from that of the general population. You need to understand that reasoning with you is like trying to...

OK, I will try..... (just to clarify, he means house insurance) except that it isn't a bike, its a motor vehicle / mechanically propelled vehicle. But do go on, this is getting interesting) ....and the house insurance company will then walk away because you have been using a motor vehicle...

Amigafan2003 I have just shared your logic with a colleague and you have given us both a good laugh on what would otherwise be a dull shift. Thank you for that. Sadly, I don't think that you have the, "tools" available to you to understand why your, "reasoning" has such comedy value. (Lets just...

I have a June 2008 Pro Connect. The Panasonic 10 Ah battery is just over three years old and I mainly ride the bike in low assist mode. Low assist is not a waste of time, it does provide a useful amount of assistance and suits me perfectly, but I accept that it does not suit everyones...

We have a Pegasus Crossing near to us.:p John Craven came and did a feature about it for his TV programme, Country File. It was the most exciting thing that had happened in our area for over 150 years and people still talk about it today.:(

An open exchange such as the one that we have witnessed is a good thing and gives an insight into the workings and personalities behind the retailer's shop front. In the past, before Internet forums existed, all of this would have been hidden from view and any unscrupulous dealings would spring...

Well if he was driving a Mercedes he is clearly a successful man with sufficient income not to have to ride a bicycle. If it were me, I'd just take my cap off, appologies for getting in the way of the Mercedes driver and promise him that it won't happen again. And if he had a private number...

Thanks for the link. I don't need a new battery, but different types and alternative suppliers are of interest. I still think that the original 10Ah Panasonic is a good battery. Mine is now 3 years old and holding out very well.
