    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Of course he had remorse, what he failed to show was empathy. And he did have a brake singular ... ineffectual certainly but recognisable as a brake . I can agree with you that his behaviour was idiotic, particularly his pr skills.

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    In that case his barrister was appallingly bad at his brief. Were any other traffic on the same road exceeding that speed. Did the speed limit on that section specufy a lower than 20 mph limit for traffic or even bikes? However previously you stated that it was brought up in court that...

    Swimming Swimming is actually non load bearing. But also has a disadvantage in promoting a layer of insulating fat.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Would fear not be a more reasonable emotion?. It is certainly higher on my list than funny.

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Justice is not served by defending those we like or have an affinity for. Travelling at 20 or 18 mph whichever on a public road is not a dangerous speed. The only activity in which he was wilful was in not having a working front brake. Had he had one and still hit the unfortunate woman would...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Tommie I wholeheartedly agree with you... On the language question. Irish is a lovely language for culture and the arts and would make understanding of place names throughout the island and even into Scotland meaningful. That it is hijacked for political posturing means that those well disposed...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    It would be welcome news , but the question being begged is "by whomever will it be passed? ".

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    My earlier post about reliability was intended as encouragement, but has a double edge. It is most unlikely that Daum intended to release what is alleged to be a defective motor on the Derby bikes. Why does any company go to the effort of designing and releasing new versions of product? One of...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    . No it would not. All those people resident in the ni are actually eu citizens anyway. .. at least pro tem. As flecc has indicated that it is a devolved matter and the ni executive have the authority in that matter. It's a case of" when in Rome do as the Romans do"... which is particularly...

    Well maybe that explains the relief of his mother. He should be safer there than careening around the London streets for a year or more.

    Positive Guardian Article

    It's a very clear and concise article and makes exactly the same case as I want to make. The fact that her choice of bike the Raliegh Motus is the same as the bike I use vindicates my decision and proves she is a sound person. Why would one want a review of multiple bikes .. in fact in fairness...
