    But they don't work well as vaccines. Vaccines are designed to prevent disease, rather than treat a disease once you have caught it. But of course the Covid-19 vaccines in many instances are treating, having insufficiently prevented, so are best regarded as antigens**, highly desirable...

    Electric Bikes and Global Warming.

    The point is that quite simply, we humans were not around for those eons and could not withstand most of the conditions through that time, or were in small enough numbers to exist on the occupiable land with compatible conditions. The creatures that were, could. Now we are heading to 9...

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    Indeed, my most successful thread ever. I didn't even intend it to be a thread, I was only publishing a radio program on what happens if we leave the EU. Since then it's become a general purpose thread covering every subject under the sun! Bedtime reading for you for a couple of decades. :) .

    Introducing the PENETRATOR. Bike thief prank

    Nice idea. Trouble is the sufferer might take it out on the bike out of anger. You could come back to buckled wheels and brake discs. .

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    I'm no longer cycling. I gave up pedelecing a short while ago in my hilly area as it was getting a bit much. I could have gone for a more powerful e-bike but I wouldn't have enjoyed that. I was a lifelong unpowered cyclist and never really enjoyed pedelecs as much as normal unpowered...

    Value of a second-hand ebike

    The battery of a pedelec can be an extremely expensive item which doesn't last anywhere near as long as the rest of the bike. Therefore it's best to treat them separately when assessing the value of the whole: E-bike lithium battery residual values. First decide the lithium battery's probable...

    Because it's sensibly closer to the sun. We need a lesser degree of latitude. Our Summer in South Croydon finally started yesterday. It's scheduled to end on Wednesday evening. :( .

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    Totally agree, the prior discussion amused me with the nonsense being spouted, especially some saying dairy is unnatural for adults. I've always eaten all meats in moderation, fish, only full cream milk, double cream, clotted cream, cheese, and butter rather than the awful "spreads" made now...

    Correct, not included. The reason is that the cycling purists objected to any political discussion. We pointed out the heading to the Charging Post stated: Anything that is not electric...

    Yes, it's been admitted it doesn't always stop the transmission. Unless improved vaccines completely eliminate it in the way we were successful with smallpox and to a considerable extent, polio. And of course there will be some who can never get it due to a natural immunity, just as there are...

    How long does it take to have a thread approved?

    The link is defective, not your fault, it's something that has occurred when you first tried to post it. Here's your link: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/hi-all-just-bought-a-broken-ebike-some-help-needed-falcoln-turbine.41863/ but it's missing a post number from the end, like...

    Electric scooters made road legal UK

    Agreed, I was referring to scooters in general for those who might want to attempt this. It's not easy. Given that many scooters are only 15 mph ones the option of L1e-A approval for them is much easier with far less stringent requirements. That could be useful if the government doesn't...

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    Or there's the risk based approach of pedelec members Chainring and POLLY. Both ignore it all and insist there's no Coronavirus and it's all a con by the authorities to gain greater control. Or as POLLY succinctly puts it "Covid 19 is 100% BS". Both have survived so far so may yet live to say...

    Even better if they can get that L1e-B approval. However it's a big IF: L1e-B Obligatory items for type approval: -------------------------------------------------- Head and tail lights conforming to regulations Stop Light White Number plate area light Horn or loud bell R/H Rear view mirror...

    Electric scooters made road legal UK

    As long as the maximum powered speed is 15.5 mph or less, it will fall into the L1e-A class, Low Powered Moped. That's most commonly occupied by e-bikes up to 1000 watts. It's yes to everything else you've listed, tax free, plus a minimum of a Group Q driving licence: Category Q You can...
