When the Pfizer was first introduced it was said to have circa 54% benefit in adults pending the second dose. Presumably for a young and often smaller and lighter person there's less risk of an adverse reaction by sticking to a smaller overall dose, while still gaining some of the protections...

Getting Covid-19 doesn't confer full immunity, nothing like it. Many have already caught it more than once. The jabs greatly reduce the effects of Covid when it is caught, meaning far less risk of hospitalisation so they are well worth having. However, it's already being noticed the the jabs...

In circumstances like this we can only decide for ourselves. Since at 85 I don't have many six months left, a jab every six months wouldn't worry me. It would be bit rough on a 12 year old who'd just had their first jab and looking forward to around 140 more. Hopefully we'll get a bit more...

I doubt you need worry about this law on throttles since it clearly isn't being policed. The DfT only introduced the change in the law in 2015 to tidy up the old anomaly on power ratings, so while they were about it they decided the easiest thing to do was to fully align with the EU law which...

Unless they are able to drill out the core of the battery lock. In cities like London and Manchester the thieves are professionals, often operating with a van and picking up several bikes a day. They rarely sell them individually, instead selling them to a fence who does the reselling in...

All these more complex arguments will come to nought once a case is referred to a senior court such as the high court, appeal court or supreme court. There one or more senior judges, often with the assistance and advice of a master at the high court, will decide what the spirit of the law is...

Demand, especially if one comes with a mooring which are scarce. .

It's double no. Any conversion to an e-bike after 1st January 2016 cannot legally have an independently acting full throttle. And in any case all kit bikes are technically illegal, the permissive law for pedelecs only applies to complete manufactured pedelecs. For clarification go the first...

How tough the Pedelec law could be: France does not look kindly upon e-bike owners that hot rod their wheels. The country has introduced a law that could see offenders slapped with a maximum fine of €30,000 (US$34,000), and up to a year in jail. And they could have their driving licence...

No, I'm not British, there's no such nationality, I'm English. But that aside I think you missed the point of my post. I was being critical of the two faced Brexiters xenophobism which so conveniently disappears when a foreign national does something excellent in the name of Britain. This...

With the S class 45kph (28mph) e-bikes allowed, the i.c. mopeds also joined in on the cyclepaths. Of course they should all have been riding considerately at bicycle speeds, which there are quite slow, but it appears that didnt happen. The understandable outcome was a storm of protests from...

Yes, I'd already guessed that is where you were coming from. That's why I pointed out the pedelec restricted status is an exemption from motor vehicle laws and not regulation which here is the source of the problem. However, the restrictions are far from unique to the UK, it's actually the...

Welcome to the forum. London ranks similarly for bike theft, our Prime Minister claims to have had six Bromptons stolen, possibly why he switched to a full size bike for cycling to the House of Commons. However I cycled for seventy years, the latter fifty nine years living in London Boroughs...

Hi, welcome to the forum. Your bike could be said to be in its spiritual home since the boss of Wisper who created the company lives in Kent. .

But we can't celebrate it after the Brexit vote made it clear we British go it alone, not in partnership with foreigners. Emma was born in Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother. Not much British about that. :( .

Agreed, I use to unlawfully moor overnight up the river there on odd occasions, slipping away in the early mornings before being detected. .

They mostly don't bother with checking pedelecs, few officers knowing anything about them or their regulations. The exceptions are those forces who have trialled e-bikes for police patrol duties, plus traffic officers whose job it is. If the rider can switch the bike into the faster mode, no...

That depends on the mood of the police. If they decide to throw the book at you and bring all possible charges, the accumated fines could add up to something substantial. Plus of course the points on your driving licence if you have one, or added at any time you apply for one in future. .

No, he should completely ignore it and refuse to respond in anyway. It's just more American neurotic nonsense. It's been one of the worst places in the world for child marriages with some being married at 12 or 13 years old until as little as four years ago. Once all the exemptions from the...

It could well become an annual jab like the 'flu one. In that case it could hopefully be combined as one jab, or if not, one in each arm at the same time. If it does become annual or biannual for the whole population, perhaps we'll need to consider it a step on the road to our eventual...
