    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    When is it going to sink in? As I've posted, I cannot comply with both since going out walking from my city home means I often cannot ensure two metres separation. This is true for many in city areas. The distancing is quite rightly the top government and personal priority for everyone and...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    No you aren't. The government is providing that through all the media channels to an educated population who have access to all that. You are just an offensive interfering busybody who thinks he knows better than anyone else, better than the government even, better even than poster's own home...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    Fortunately 99.24% of us do not live in Wiltshire. Even less of us have the misfortune to live in ebiker99's village where he's probably the local busybody always telling others what to do. .

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    It says to parks and beauty spots, entirely understandable and I support that since those locations encourage crowds. But this land had vast areas of other countryside and the government instruction on the Radio a few minutes ago once again said exercise in your local area wherever possible...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, the prevalence of allergies in the West is blamed on our excessive cleanliness and hygiene phobia preventing the development of immunities. What you call disgusting in that Chinese market and many other parts of their environment has probably helped in their getting control of Covid-19...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But you are providing transport for an essential worker to avoid their having a markedly higher risk of infection, arguably making that transport at least highly desirable and possibly essential. Buses that Tommie drew attention to as an alternative are a quite high risk way of travelling where...

    Panasonic batteries for old newbie

    Thats's the same one I posted Pete. The OP isn't happy with them since they've apparently only sold one and only have one left. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's the British stiff upper lip. We don't become critical until things are truly desperate. .

    Panasonic batteries for old newbie

    It wasn't the only one, a search online for Kalkhoff Panasonc batteries usually shows other suppliers of the same batteries. There have been some in Germany where a large number of these e-bikes were sold, so some are probably still selling them. .

    Maybe that's why they have a greatly improving situation there, they've perhaps developed more immunity to these viruses. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For over two weeks the government have been asking people to check on and look after elderly neighbours. With six flats in my block I have five immediate neighbours. We are all friends on first name terms and swap Xmas cards etc. Over the years and currently I give them lots of help. One I...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    Agreed on all points and it's the same here except for some still not keeping their distance, sometimes even not able to, hence my driving short distances to safer areas to walk for exercise. I'm determined to avoid any risk of contact so will continue to ignore any unsafe advice, risking me...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    My use of backpedalling referred to the way the police, even government members, and others, were ignoring the governments use of the word Try. Government isn't totally stupid, though they give a very good imitation at times. They knew that 2 metres separation is impossible in a wide variety...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    I agree it's very confusing. But the latest from government is an admission that driving into the countryside to be alone or with family lived with is not harmful, so long as isolation is maintained. Similarly on the same news there was a chief police officer also backpedalling on this, now...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    Don't be so offensive. Who has mentioned 95 mph, who has mentioned motorways? My trips involve the minimum possible driving distance to a suitable spot to be isolated when walking. And because my usual supermarket is right on the boundary of town and country, I've combined the two twice...

    Putting e-bike to bed for the duration of C-virus.

    It's just been said on BBC news that the advice means driving into the countryside to walk or sit, alone or with family is perfectly ok. It's the congregation of numbers of people that must be avoided. .
