    Vitamin D may work as well. I take routinely one multi-vitamin tablet a day.

    Newbie considering an e-conversion. But what.

    if you reckon on 144W continuous, then that's what goes on the drive train, it does not matter much whether some or most of them comes from the motor. I reckon the average mileage for leisure cycling is about 1,000 miles a year. At this rate, the drive train would outlast the electrics.

    That's effectively 2.5% on the total wage budgets of companies because most will be forced to make it up for their employees in pay rise to keep their take home pay to the same level. The raise in national insurance contributions won't produce more than £6 billions a year. BJ has still to spell...

    Trying to fit pas sensor to shimano sora pedel

    I'd just give my customers an extra 2mm spacer. An alternative quick fix is to use a seat post mount adapter. We use more and more of them. You only have to stick on the cut out magnet disc, attach the pedal sensor to the seat post and it's done. No need for a ballbearing spanner.

    by the same comparison, most people don't go much faster on electrics than they did years ago on their non-motorised bikes when they were younger. The loading and corresponding wear and tear are proportional to the total amount of energy which in turn proportional to speed (cubed) and mileage...

    Electric Bikes and Global Warming.

    right now, our technology can't sustain the 8 billion size of human population but perhaps a combination of scientific progress and longer life expectancy will result in rapid decrease in birth rates leading eventually to a much smaller population in a couple of centuries. Whether the species...

    Torque a cyclist can push on the cranks by just standing on the pedal: crank arm length: r = 0.175m rider's weight: w = 80kgs gravitational acceleration constant: g = 9.81 Torque = r * w * g = 0.175 * 80 * 9.81 = 137NM Athletes can of course push much more than that.

    back in the old days, there was no dust barrier on the BBS's axle. Dirt and water got inside the motor case and corroded anything and everything. Since 2016(? I can't remember the date), Bafang fitted rubber seals to the axle and the number of blown controllers has vastly reduced. Later, Bafang...

    the problem is we untruthfully deny that corruption exists in our Western world. The principle of spending money on the war against terrorism is good but when it comes to actual spending, those who can spend money on political lobbying will get the money.

    one possibility is the number of people who have antibodies in Croydon is about same as national average (90%), = vaccinated + having had Covid. Less of the former and more of the latter.
