The Kippers can dream. But when they wake up they will still have two or three seats - it they’re lucky.

No BT does and it’s their stand alone budget provider.

Are the pudding basin helmets illegal in France now? I thought they were still okay in the UK. Or have they been banned here now too?

Depends whether you live in a hilly area I should think. I have to work fairly hard on my Kalkhoff to keep up a good speed. But there is almost no flat at all where I live and I’m either going up or down all the time. It’s just variation of gradient really. It can pedal past the 17mph cut out on...

I was with them a while ago and the server congestion in the evenings made streaming video impossible. They used to be quite cheap and seemed to operate on the smallest server capacity they could get away with.

Didn’t I read the other month that EU regs on vacuum cleaners had changed recently and the new ones are lower powered that the old ones were allowed to be? Apparently there was a rush to buy the higher powered ones from shops before they sold out.

It’s also American so the shipping costs and VAT and any duty would be on top of the price. Don’t suppose all that would be very cheap.

Kalkhoffs can have their cut off changed by using the dealer diagnostic device which they will lend you to update software. It’s just a matter of inputing a smaller wheel size. They all cut out at a bit over 17mph anyway and not all bikes use the 10% tolerance in the law. Most seem to cut out...

I should think these law changes already made and others to come will make e bikes much more visible to plod, and illegal ones will be a lot harder to get away with. Particularly if S pedelecs become classified as mopeds and the need to wear helmets and have registration and third party...

I see no reason why mirrors can’t be positioned to give a clear view all around the near side of the cab. It’s not hard to glance at a couple of mirrors even if one is facing down or forward. I know what the visibility is like from a high cab flecc. I’m not going into my life story here but I...

. Okay fine. You admit that there is no evidence for your repeated assertion that the main cause of these accidents to women riders was their riding into truck blind spots. Which contrary to what you wrote above you claimed to be the main cause on several threads. This from your first post on...

Like I said before proper positioning of extra mirrors as they have in LH drive trucks for overtaking blind spots would solve it. If the drivers actually looked in them that is.

I’m fascinated by your life flecc. No really. But you see it doesn’t matter how you try to spin this discussion or how many twists you make. Because all I ever wanted to know is how you know that these women riders are riding up the inside of stopped trucks, and are not being overtaken by them...

Sigh! You still claim that is what they are doing without presenting any evidence of it. I’ve been asking for some for about the last million posts, but all we get is your cast iron certainly and a lot of smoke and mirrors. Speaking of which it’s alway possible to look in mirrors if they cover...

I would think they were returns from German or Dutch dealers, or unsold or bankrupt stock from there. I expect they will fetch a reasonable price in the end now that spring has come. Still cheap though, but around the same as used one year old bikes. That one linked to would have been made...

Not really. It would just be the driver’s word against the cyclist and he/she would be dead. As I wrote earlier witnesses to RTAs in London melt away like the spring snow. I remember actually chasing one bloke to get his name when he saw someone drive into me once in my car, and he still refused...

No need to be rude flecc. You are always quick to accuse others of rudeness so keep it civil. Yet again you have not addressed my point. You have been claiming they were riding into blind spots when the trucks were stopped. Not the rest of the stuff you’ve just trotted out which we agree on...

As I said it could be a statistical blip, and it doesn’t prove flecc’s repeated contention that some women riders are going up the inside of stopped trucks at junctions. If over a more statistically significant period a lot more women cyclists than men can be seen to be killed at junctions it...

You have written with complete certainly on several threads that women are riding up the inside of trucks at junctions, and that is the major cause of the accidents. So where is your evidence for this? Less bluster and more evidence would be useful. It is as possible that the fact that this...

Seems to me that it is you who is making assumptions here flecc. Contrary to what you wrote above, In this and in other threads on the subject you have consistently blamed women cyclists for riding into truck blind spots and have attempted to absolve the drivers or all blame; and you don’t know...
