Maybe you're next for conversion? ;) .

This is normal on Trikes with single rear wheel drive, you need to adopt a completely different riding technique. Firstly don't expect to ride at anything like normal cycling speeds, you'll need to ride much slower, especially on bends. Right hand turns will be much easier with the nearside...

I once did exactly the same on my Bafang motored Quando, flogging it hard up a very steep hill, and the clunk was a huge bang. But I was lucky, it was only a lost Hall connection and unplugging and replugging the five wire connector immedately got me going again and it never gave trouble again...

You're too quick, see above. .

We'd soon truss her up. Anyway with the standard of schoolteachers I grew up with I'm an expert at assuming a trance that appears to be attentiveness while people drone on endlessly. .

Ah but he's a free marketeer. To them all things are possible. If it was somewhere warm and exotic at this time of the year and fares, accommodation and a car were thrown in, I'd be gone like a shot! .

I was speaking of the padlock type which we've found fine. As an added precaution we have mounted ours at the top of the door, almost out of arms reach, so a step needed at least to try cracking it. For the Bank of England maybe not (assuming it has any money left), but for a few hand tools...

Can't see his unpleasant views have anything to do with trade though, unless in the Polari that sex workers, the entertainment world and gays used to speak. .

The French, as ever, like to do things differently. Their Cybien-Sport has twin motors clamping the sides of the rear wheel on a rubberised rim section, driving it dynamo fashion. At 15.5 mph the motors release their grip on the rim:

The Thames Estuary has had many hundreds of new homes built along it, mainly on the low lying Essex coast, and a million homes altogether are being spoken of by 2050. All of them are or are intended to be beyond the Thames Flood Barrier protection. Here's the promoters, note the construction...

A small wheel problem that many complain of with MPs. The added tyre thickness and small diameter don't mix well. I've never had any problem with the larger wheel sizes. .

At least they are only friends and supporters. You may remember the days when accountant Ernest Marples together with engineer Reginald Ridgway started the Marples Ridgway construction company. He then became a Tory MP and was appointed Minister of Transport. In that role he was in charge...

The 17500 was a mistake of course, it should have been 1750 deaths and I didn't intend to include any injuries. With 3% regularly cycling and 30 million cars in regular use, the true deaths ratio is 1 cyclist per 20,000 and one car driver in 37,000. Include all the car passengers and toddlers...

Quote: "Maximum speeds will be set at 15.5mph on roads and 5pm in pedestrianised areas." I didn't know 5pm was a speed. Best let Soundwave know, he'll be wanting to do at least 7pm. .

Or high grade changeable number five rotor combination locks. They offer excellent security. .

It's just been announced that with the return to full time education, London's buses and tube trains have been increased. The Victoria line is back up to a tube train every 100 seconds at busy times. It will be interesting to see the outcome since London has been doing well overall so far...

About 1 in 50 of the population! .

Same as happened to Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn, 1st Viscount Stansgate, DSO, DFC, PC , turning him into the socialist Tony Benn. Revulsion against what Conservatism and the right wing routinely did to ordinary people. I disagree, especially since Johnson, having no sensible ideas of his own...

Not true, we are safer in a car. Even if I take the highest claimed figure for people regularly cycling, 8% of the population, which is demonstrably not true, there's some 24% more cyclists killed. This comment on the government statistics illustrates: "The vulnerability of people walking and...

Best take the car instead. At least you'll get there! ;) .
