BJ wants to remove his mask, oh dear... Our current vaccines won't work on the new Lambda variant. “The Lambda originated from Peru, with the highest mortality rate in the world.” Some scientists are worried lambda may be “more infectious than Delta variant”.

the Watts are important but not that important in your case because all e-bikes, legal or not, can whisk a 13st rider up an 8% hill with ease. The main reason to buy a more performant bike is when you are overweight or when you live in a very hilly area like Penzance where you can find hills...

Correct your speed sensor first then deal with the PAS sensor next if it still malfunctions.

I expect the overall outcome will be for the better. More people want to work from home, less long distance commuting, less crowding on trains, better air quality etc. I wouldn't mind too much that air travels continue to be restricted to essential trips only. The area of concern is education.
