    Keep up Andy, #3 onwards also. The Audi guy has been mentioned a few times in this thread, so one has to start from the beginning as with many threads the stories get integrated.

    why is this even up for debate?

    Blame for this one can't simply be laid at the feet of the rider though he was a mug for taking the chance, other factors as already mentioned are at play. If one was an advanced driver all hazards woud be taken in to account and one would not presume it is safe or ok to just enter that turning...

    Throttles usually work or don't work, there isn't usally an inbetween. It like PAS sensor/magnet disc is simply a swtich that provides a signal, when off the throttle sees 5v ans when active it see's approx. 1v for operation. Your relative can test the throttle via the block connector at the...

    New easy fit disc brake drive kit

    One suspects the idea is designed with town bikes in mind or for short commuting to work where one can simply lift the gadget off and take with you.

    With a battery mileage means little, it is the age that matters and whether it is used often or not.

    FreeGo

    Shame the last bit of info wasn't offered straight away. If the pedal assist works ok and done doesn't have any intermittent power bursts except only with the throttle, then we can suspect the battery is ageing and can no longer deliver the higher current demand constantly. Just because the...

    Best kit for mostly off road commute

    Without a doubt manufactured in China they certainly wouldn't have a business to go forward on, a clone would be on the market quite soon. Thus far looks like they have got away with it, nice though that a product is entirely designed, made and produced in the UK albeit using some foreign...

    One can deem that the white van man who has parked the van there is innocent , but he isn't. He has caused a hazard/dnager where approaching drivers can't see beyond him and also he has block the way for any one using the path to see clearly. He should have parked some where more sensible...

    why is this even up for debate?

    The Satnav or GPS indicates he was slowing to below 20mph , what is clear is no one has any idea if anyone is approaching from behind the van parked because line of sight is nil. So any approaching speed can be deemed to fast. Although unfortunate for the driver (wrong place wrong time) the...

    why is this even up for debate?

    The enforcement varies around the country and in Sussex despite ' operation crackdown' by Sx police, one is likely going by annecdotal evidence on another forum a visit and a stern talking too is the likely course for a close pass or a warning letter. It appears one is unlikely to get a fine or...

    The law is coming out on the side of the cyclist or vulnerable road user, now the Highway code has been updated. For too long the vulnerable have had little in the way to protect them in law but now it is clear. Larger vehicle users have to be very careful in their actions and the way they treat...

    That guy in Wales was the making of his own downfall in that case, he had the chance of accepting attendance at a driver aware course for which he had to get there. He refused it, he could have taken 3 points and a penalty notice but didn't He decided he did no wrong and took it to court and...

    Best kit for mostly off road commute

    £229 is the price which isn't too bad though for a bespoke kit, it is expected but not outrageous. The cells in mine are Panny PF so 7s 3p (21 cells) 10a rated, at the time I queried why they didn't opt for something like the GA for a bit more 10.2ah rather then 8.7ah but they said the PF was...

Kit is a friction drive tucked in between the frame seat tube and the rear tyre, I bought this as part of the kick starter 4 years ago at a reduced backers rate, one of the first mk1 versions. . Otherwise the kit is fairly dear at...
