It's the inherent dishonesty of the question I don't like, nothing is stopping Jim, RoadieRoger or any of the others with this argument. They can ride an S-pedelec at 28 mph assisted right now, in Jim's case he already has the motorcycle licence to do that! They aren't arguing for vehicle...

Of course I can, those things are irrelevant. This is a simple safety issue. 10 mph cyclists rarely lose control, fall off or get hurt at that speed, and can stop easily from that speed. 20mph cyclists do lose control much more often (wet roads, leaves, ice etc), often can't stop in time as...

Zinc has been shown to mediate antiviral effects against certain viruses. Clinical studies showed that zinc significantly shortens the duration of symptoms during rhinovirus infection. So all round good against bacterial and some common viral infections. .

Zinc plated best of all if they were made, zinc oxide is the active bacteria zapping constituent in adhesive plasters. .

It's not others wearing the blinkers Jim, it's you. Nothing is stopping anyone over 14 riding a pedelec. Nothing is stopping anyone over 16 riding a high speed pedelec. So what are you complaining about? Please tell us. Actually it is a problem, a very big one. Back in the post WW2 years...

Just don't say that in the presence of any woman, they're getting hypersensitive about such comments since Harvey Weinstein. .

And far more people than that. Medically we start to die at around 28 years old, the start point being when the number of vital cells routinely replaced falls below the number that have died. Year by year from then on the disparity grows and if disease doesn't kill us first, we continuously...

Possibly not though. The official graphs have two bands near the end since the deaths from the days just before are often incomplete and waiting much of the final feedback from care homes and lesser hospitals, and even certification of cause. So for the most recent two or three days there's a...

Yes I noticed, no texting or calls on a smartphone makes you very unusual. .

During the war we all blamed the Bosch. .

He's got no chance there until Boris Johnson resigns. .

They are standard. Wisper were the leaders in introducing pedelecs to UK police forces many years ago and have supplied several forces. In Central London the Met doesn't even need e-bikes, they boast of catching up with motorists using mobile phones or not wearing seat belts by pedalling their...

Probably resentment. Large numbers of UK pedelecers are angry at the ban on independent throttles and a fair proportion don't see why they should be limited to 15.5 mph assist speed. So they cast their representatives as the villains responsible, even though they aren't in fact. .

Google doesn't know, maybe like most of us doesn't even care! :D .

No, because it's necessary to pay enough to get representation across the social spectrum for what is in reality a rotten anti-social hours job. I remember long ago when MPs got only £2000 a year, even less than me in a lowly job, so as a result almost all the MPs were people from privileged...

I don't see any need since everyone is already taken care of and you have your L1e classes wrong. Both are Moped classes and not pedelec classes. L1e-A is the Low Powered Moped class and no-one understands it because none have ever been made. It's just a provision in law in case anyone does...

There will always be some, but they aren't numerous usually. It may get worse currently with so many returning to cycling during the Covid crisis, but just ignore their foolishness. .

That I can't say with certainty, I only knew of Andrew's posting at the time. He said they were thin and the only two wires coming from the crank itself, the rest probably only routing around it. .

It's a question of asking the right person, they'll happily tell you that. KMC will even offer you ones in silver, gold and even a range of dazzling colours. Information link .

It might work! The cheaper it is, the more they'll eat and the quicker they'll die. There's more than one way to kill the cat. .
