I can't see a terrestrial application, no-one needs 20,000 plus charge cycles, equal to 55 years at a charge a day. Our present e-car batteries are proving to last at least ten years with better capacity to size ratio, so enough already. Could be useful in a deep space exploration satellite...

It's an invalid question for me, since I would vote for any true Labour manifesto next time whoever was leading. That substantially reduces the number of socialists like me. If Starmer's manifesto looks as though he's betraying socialism in Blair style to get Tory and LibDem votes, I'll vote...

You seem to have a problem with understanding, no-one pushed a policewoman off a horse, the horse threw her off. If you've ever ridden horses you'd know what nervous creatures they are and even well trained police ones are no exception. The one that threw the officer that I mentioned had taken...

No, they were the original handlebars on that model. As long as that style of bars you choose isn't too wide your cables should be ok. Neal mentioned 550 to 600 mm width. The on-one Mary are 645mm, not seriously wider, less than an inch more each side. Lots of review comments on this link .

I believe the on-one Mary fits what Neal recommends. I had similar bars on a Giant Lafree (below) and loved them for their comfort. I let a roadie, drop bars friend and neighbour ride it down the road one day since he'd never ridden an e-bike. I'd expected him to say something about the...

If Khan versus Livingstone, no, but that is as much due to Ken Livingstone being so effective in London's management, so not a fair comparison. But Blair was never Labour and his New Labour was never pink, so I never voted for him from the outset. Between them Labour leaders James Callaghan...

Agreed, but as I posted, I don't necessarily see that leading to power and there's a wide consensus on that. The same instincts that created so much anti EU feeling in the UK are those that make the English fundamentally conservative. Without Labour gaining almost all Scotland back, a large...

It won't make any difference unless Labour almost completely win back Scotland from the SNP. By common agreement they cannot win the country without Scotland, and I can't see them beating the SNP into near non existence, no matter who leads. .

Actually this is the fault of the EU, since the discrimination of the Commission against Tale and Lyle and this British firm's West Indian cane sugar in favour of European beet sugar forced them to diversify into other products from the 1970s. Eventually they sold the market restricted sugar...

Good, I don't want him doing anything at all, such is his incompetence. .

That was one policewoman and one horse, and she was NOT pushed off her horse. The horse threw her off. Having once seen a policeman thrown from his horse in Putney Bridge Road when just out exercising it from the Wandsworth police stable, I know how easily that can happen. I agree that every...

Yes it is. Taking that risk despite their four times vulnerability to infection and death from Cobid-19 over the white population means the racial discrimination they suffer must be very real. I'm surprised you publicise this evidence when you deny it exists. And of course they are provoked...

"Which" don't do any e-bike tests, as with many other product groups they repeat the testing others do. They simply don't have the expertise to test the whole vast range of consumer products. There's a European organisation, I forget its name now, that tests "green" products and I noticed...

I agree in principle, but I was thinking in terms of the typical supermarket queue here. That moves intermittently and the gaps widen as each shift forward occurs. The whole queue never moves as one, the move starts at the front and ripples back along the line, the gaps widening by at least an...

Yes I know that from my boating and motorcycling days. It's also true of a huge area of Central London too with the Thames embankments and the Tidal barrier being the high points. Below is if the ice caps melted away, the sea rise then being 216 feet: .

They're wasting their time in Portsmouth. With climate change melting the polar ice caps, those statues will end up under water anyway. .

That will only affect the outsiders coming in to demonstrate. Our free social mixing in London, especially of the people involved in these demonstrations, has never stopped. .

Exactly, so i don't know what you are disagreeing with. If following someone, two metres is just tokenism since people don't breathe through the back of their necks so far less separation is needed. If passing in opposite directions the exposure is so short that, as Danidl has pointed out, the...

It's like I've said all along, social distancing is no more than tokenism. In London and it's outskirts the customers don't bother either, face masks are still very much the exception and the few there are in the streets have mostly only appeared very recently. All those of all ages around me...
