We've covered this subject repeatedly ad nauseum over the whole 14 year life of this forum. Please read through the current thread on it that's on this link to see how completely that's been done. When you've read it right through hopefully you'll drop the subject. .

Yes, the problem of the internet and nothing is perfect of course. But as I said, that doesn't make it not worth trying. We can certainly do far better than we have in the past. .

The ordinary members of the public aren't going to do this. It's the sort of thing the media would, but if they or anyone else for that matter are prevented in law from publishing or publicising in any way, so what. As I said before, just making an example of someone breaching this law in any...

Yes, here it is on this link This is the excerpt for your case: For the optimum battery mounting security the advice of JamesC of the pedelecs forum should be followed. First adjust the battery lock so that it sits high in it's mounting pad, relieving it's small mounting bolt from undue...

The editor or a journalist coud be arrested if they visited, depending on how much embarrassment we wished to cause. But of course such sanctions are imperfect, but that doesn't mean they should never be used. Setting an example of someone can have a widespread deterrent effect. .

Of course they should be suspended by their professional body the BMA when notified confidentially by the police, but that doesn't mean it has to be publicised. They and MPs can merely be "indisposed" to use a discreet Victorian expression. .

There's no such person, Queen Elizabeth II knighted a ficticious person. Someone named Harry Webb accompanied by his three sisters impersonated that ficticious character for the ceremony, which was almost certainly a crime of misrepresentation. .

At present yes, but a partial solution can be making it an offence to publish any details before conviction in the case of any sexually related allegations. That can be extended across the internet too since crime and punishment charges can be internet wide as has been shown since they are...

As I posted, it's for sexual crimes. I agree with the secrecy and think it should be total and permanent in every case unless and only if eventually convicted. The salacious nature of sex crime makes it one the media love to gloat over and exaggerate, making fair trial completely impossible...

I take it you mean sjpt's mention of knee damage and I totally agree. Far too many cyclists end up with seriously damaged knee joints and crippling arthritis due to using cadences that are too slow. Doubling the pedalling speed with a lower gear halves the thrust necessary on each stroke so...

God already knows them. .

If a question needs to be asked, it's never dumb. However there are variables in the question that make a definitive answer impossible. Broadly speaking that uses the least current, but your own preference for cadence (pedal rotation speed), the gear you are using and the way in which the...

This is the big problem with e-biking in the UK. We have a very small market buying between 20,000 and 50,000 a year but so many different types of e-biker that it leaves us with a very fragmented voice and views. In The Netherlands with just over a quarter of our population they buy well...

Following several incidences of false allegations and subsequent clearances like the Cliff Richard and Leon Brittan ones, the practice has been changed for most with allegations of sexual crime. Now it's the norm to initially protect the identity except where the guilt is admitted. In cases...

Those reading this thread will have seen the every large number of reasons why I've said the pedelec assist speed law will not and cannot change, despite which I also posted that I hadn't even begun to list all the reasons. So now I'm covering the implications of what Nealh and I have posted...

They still are Andy, the single rotor support in particular being intrinsically unstable at all times. Drones with multiple rotors are the opposite, with four or more rotors very stable, with eight rotors largely safe against rotor failures too. .

Actually Cummings does have an excellent brain. He just lacks intelligence, as his Barnard Castle trip showed only too clearly. .

If you cant get an answer here, contact Ezee on this form .

I meant limits within each enviroment of course, one can't compare motorway and cities. The new 20 limits in place of 30 in urban areas do actually reduce the deaths etc. Fully agreed, but unrelated to the subject though. Nothing online apart from the technical aspect that interested me...

Your viewpoints but not the UK government's. They see no reason why you should not get a low level driving licence to ride an S-pedelec at nearly 30 mph. That's the only legislative hoop, the S bikes you can buy off the shelf already approved. It is a fact that the rate of accidents, serious...
