I'm not, London can get a second phase later as easily as anywhere else. What I am sure of is that London getting the first phase over by taking the inevitable hit quickly was the best way to tackle this in a city where effective social isolation isn't possible. Repeatedly the numbers have...

Possibly not, but we've once again turned in very low figures in London with the graph at the bottom. And as you know, we didn't do that through strict lockdown but with taking the hit early. Fewer than 24 people are now catching coronavirus on a daily basis in London, according to new...

I'm no fan of Cummings and would shed no tears if he went, but I'd rather him sacked over his work performance than a personal life issue used as an excuse by his enemies. .

Yes of course, the offence is of exceeding the maximum permitted speed if caught doing it, meaning a fine and the magistrates could order the confiscation and destruction of the vehicle, though that is rare. .

Not so, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). It's the buyers responsibility to obtain what they want. A manufacturer or supplier only have any liability if they make a false claim. In another example pavement mobility vehicles have designed in speed limits, 4mph maximum for pavement use and...

The law is quite clear, it's the rider only. There is no law against selling any vehicle illegal on the roads, the liability is always with users. .

Far from being sacked, Dominic Cummings should be in the next New Years Honours list. Single handed he has brought Boris Johnson's popularity rating down from its recent 46% to minus 1% now. I knew he was good at figures, but that is a spectacular achievement, deserving of a knighthood at...

When they are imaginary. .

What a joke. So if Cummings was a tourist attraction he could drive wherever he likes? Even to another country as royalty does during lockdown? Actually it appears he is a tourist attraction. A man at Barnard Castle, a tourist spot, recognised him and waved, so all's well. He could have...

After only 14 months and two weeks. In another 14 or so months, may we look forward to your finding the Dislike button? ;) .

I didn't say you were. You were speaking of the reliability of cars not used and I answered that by showing his car was regularly used. .

I didn't support his actions. Just as I don't support witch hunting at every excuse of someone who is disliked. .

But again that doesn't apply to Cummings. He's been commuter driving to Downing Street all the time. So whether you meant it or not, it's looking for ways to continue the witch hunt, however invalid or unlikely they are. He's far from being the only one in our society of a privileged...

I've carried a spare battery and on some occasions two spares to do very long trips and the weight hasn't bothered me. If your battery is quite an old design if may be possible to recell it to get a worthwhile gain. But it will cost the best part of £300 .

But that is a gross exaggeration of the true risk. The chance of an accident stopping a journey's completion or a breakdown on any single journey is miniscule. In seventy years of riding and driving neither has ever happened to me on one of my own vehicles, and just one breakdown on an army...

If you mean by your pedal effort creating the charge current, there's no point since the efficiency losses more than cancel any gain. If you mean by regenerative braking, then again there's little point since a bicycle and rider don't have enough mass and speed to make it worthwhile. Some...

No, they are trying to get this referred to their right wing 1922 committee to get Cummings dismissed, openly stated as the intention. .

It doesn't. See my latest post just above yours. .

I say it's not. If it was a matter of public well being, then it equally was when the Queen went to Windsor Castle affecting all of her staff there, when William and Charles went to Scotland and the other royals scattered themselves around the country. Where was the media then? No. This is a...

Possibly. They were banking on Johnson being a stooge to get Brexit done, but hadn't bargained on Cummings. Remember that with Sajid Javid as chancellor and long before Covid-19 there was the start of the big cash giveaway and the nationalisation of Northern Rail, with Grant Shapps saying...
