It’s all part of the increase in performance enhancing drugs generally. Every gym has someone they can be bought from, and the temptation for amateur bodybuilders as well as people who work in industries which need power like doormen and security to use them is very strong. As well as those sort...

Money is very cheap now and we are heading for disinflation for a time at least - and possibly outright deflation - which would be a disaster incidentally. In both cases all debts increase so the finance company makes money at zero interest rates.

I wonder if he’ll ever be seen again anyway? He hasn’t visited since his one post so maybe it was just a whim. He certainly got a hare running though.

I always quite fancied the role of the Demon King. With all the red smoke bombs going off as I shoot up onto the stage through the trapdoor to the gasps of the assembled multitude.

Not all using free pensioner travel cards are they? I haven’t lived in London for over fifteen years but it was expensive getting around by public transport then.

Generally speaking the cheaper the components the less wear you will get from them. Cheap mechs will need constant adjustment and cheap brakes the same. While cheap ally frames can crack. Not to say the some might go on a for a long time if they are the sort of bikes which Americans used to call...

Prices for e bikes are like prices for normal bikes. That is dependent mostly on the quality and material of the components and frame. With e bikes you have to add in the quality or expense of the motor too. It does depend on how much you are prepared to pay for the extra quality and what kind...

I always swing my Mirrycle mirror over when I put it in the garage so it doesn’t stick out and get caught as I walk past the fairly narrow space between it and the back of the car. I keep the front bolt tight enough not to move in use but lose enough to move it easily. It needs to be tightened...

Or as the well known quote from a famous French Tour rider of the twenties had it: “You cannot ride the Tour on mineral water alone.” He meant something different of course.

For large units the Wales is still in common usage. Although the Belgium is also popular.

Posting your request on practically every open thread is going a bit overboard isn’t it?

You would be better advised to start a new thread. It will get ignored here.

It says that both types of bike including the one supposedly meant for cycle messengers will be fitted with 200w motors. So Ford is on the cutting edge of innovation and technology as usual then.

Mix and match. I use millimetres because they are more precise. I think in feet and miles for longer measurements, but don’t mix the two if I’m measuring something, and I use kilos and pounds and litres and pints interchangeably as I feel like it. I’ve even almost got used to bloody Celsius and...

Would save lives in traffic if they could be made.

No, that’s why I said they would have to be two pairs like the old Honda 50 type. But they would need to be lighter and still be rigid. Hence the problem.

It may not be the same for the one you’re thinking of fitting, but there have been a few who post here who have had problems with the mountings breaking. No experience of them myself BTW.

But indicators would need to be seen from the front too.

Actually the only unit of terrestrial measurement which directly relates to the planet is the nautical mile. So one mile is one minute of one degree of longitude at the equator and about the same, one minute of arch for any meridian line. Easy to transpose to charts and maps. The French idea...

Bit OTT GMM. You can’t always expect people to agree with you all the time. Personally I’m in favour of indicators on commuter bikes in traffic, and I would think other road users would soon get used to them. But they would have to stand out at the back and front like say the Honda 50/90 ones...
