.. as someone who had reached the age of reason(don't laugh) at the time of the Cuban missile crisis and saw th iron curtain fall down, I can say with some confidence these are better times. If we , the world managed those we can manage the present.

.. Tommie, you have my sympathy about the shambles with ebikes. Europe is a big place and even France alone could absorb a couple of million migrants into the semideserted villages all over rural France. I cannot speak for other countries but it's probably the same. Bankruptcy is an interesting...

Would it worry you more if you weren't? .. a puzzler

I'm all in favour provided the same rule is applied to all pedestrians, rollar skaters, huluhoop users , hockey players ,, golfers, darts players and of course cricketers and any one else capable of propulsion at 10 mph .... basically anyone who might or might even be tempted to run...or throw...

I wasn't distinguishing between the types. The so called solid tube ones I used , and still have fitted, had a solid skin but were somewhat springy and spongy because they would have had a foamed rubber type core. They have some give and then they rebound.

.. wow that's a hard one, can you give us a clue, what exactly is wrong with Scunthorpe?

. Presumably they would be counterbalanced by lib dem or cons. Voters who are even more concerned about Brexit.. otherwise this is all hot air and you Brits are actually pleased with the current trajectory. What recent elections in Ireland, USA, France have shown is that parties who assume...

.. that would be me in regard to solid or flexible foam tubes. They do work, and with say suspension forks and suspension post will be fine. I have a set on a bike for 30 plus years .. and am now dreading the requirement of replacing the tyres, which are now bald .. bike only used for...

.. liquid nitrogen is easier to obtain and for the purposes, equally effective.

.. just the fact that the UK will be rapidly sinking economically. It is not logical to assume that once everything has been signed sealed and delivered, that getting back in to the EU would be a simple matter. It would not be as simple, as some of us of a certain vintage remember of JR Ewiing...

Flecc, I find myself in agreement with Zatlan on this. Surely if the majority of UK voters are now remainers, or even if there was only a swing of 2% , then the Labour viewpoint of a non Brexit or at most a very soft brexit , would have been carried. If you and others, including the leadership...

Official sterling to euro rate is 1.11 to 1.12 Cardiff sterling to euro 0.88. Discrepancy is a ratio of 1 :1.26 ... Close to 30%.

.. so I should go down to my local credit union, withdraw my 3k euro, fly accross Ryanair to Cardiff, flog it off in the car park, undercut by offering 25% markup , pocket my sterling, and fly back, making 1k, less flights for a day's work?

That is obscene profiteering and I would rank it as loansharking. A 30% mark up on transferring from one currency note to another!!!!.

I don't know where you cycle, but in my coastal location, the wind can gust quite badly and change direction at a whim. Bikes with fairings are just as lightly to have the wind coming at any odd angle as either a headwind or a tailwind. A side wind would catch the fairing as a sail could easily...

Sidewinds . One is not always going against the wind.

.. Yes they can!!!. That's what the IMF is for.... When they come in , what you thought was austerity was luxury.

No .. voltage will depend on sulphuric acid concentration, and time from being left on charge, temperature

... Listen to the song by the poozies called the widow about an unfortunate living on such a moor..... Miserable existence.

. A fully charged lead acid battery should go above 13.6 volts, so if yours at 12.7, it is seriously depleted., Inaccuracies in your meter notwithstanding. A battery could be severely knackered (technical term) and still give a full voltage off load. What happens is that lumps of the active...
