Once the coronavirus event has passed and all those who will die have done, we could re-run the referendum. Then we'll know what proportion who died were the evil Leavers and we'd know if God played a part. ;) .

Actually I would love to see a repeat of the Black Death, this time with at least half the world's population wiped out. What's not to like? Immediately our global warming, climate change, earth resources and species decline problems eliminated. Remember it's the travelling communicators who...

Certainly in my area and for some distance around the courtesy of a large proportion of drivers is very much higher now. There seems to be increasing patience and consideration for others. Drivers quite often going to some lengths to accomodate cyclists, often stopping at non-pedestrian...

You are clearly either mentally ill or incapable of understanding the English language Zlatan. Once again nothing you've just posted has the slightest relationship to my post that you were quoting and commenting on. I repeat, I made no mention of any of the things you commented on in either of...

Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands have, the latter though making the regulations tougher later. I don't know about France's legal conditions since for a while they resisted having s-pedelecs. While it's tougher for self builds here, I doubt it's as difficult as it once was now that EU...

They'll never be taxed now. We used to tax power assisted bikes from the 1920s through into the 1970s and at one time in the 1950s they reached over a million on British roads. But then we gave it up and made them free of bureacracy and taxation. Similarly in a part of our country...

Legal in the UK too, and probably most countries, with the above restrictions. Our registration etc procedures are probably more stringent than the French ones and far more stringent than the German and Dutch ones. And of course in most countries a registered s-pedelec cannot be ridden on...

. Excellent, just what we need asap. .

We already have similar in London, the £11.50 a day congestion charge zone for cars (but free for electric ones at present) and the additional £12.50 a day for the more polluting of the ic cars in an ever expanding low pollution zone. £24 a day really is mind concentrating taxation! However I...

I've disagreed since you've grasped the wrong end of the stick. The key difference is that car drivers are tested for their competence, then licenced and insured and are thereafter identifiable and traceable from their number plates. Pedelec riders are not, similar has been tried and failed...

I'm sorry that I have to say this, but you really are an idiot Zlatan. Look at the post of mine that you quoted, then look at your reply. It is you who posted a reply to what was not said. It was your usual long rant about socialism and Labour with Hargreaves Lansdowne thrown in for good...

Moan for the umpteenth time with the same old rhetoric. Yes I did come in then exactly to counter your post, can't you see the irony? That it was you who caused me to come in then, my entry you then moaned about. As I've said, I only take a glance at this thread these days to see its trend...

This shows how distorted your view is. I've hardly been in here for some while and my posting frequency in this thread for some while doesn't begin to compare with OG's. In fact I've been posting extensively in the pedelecs cycling forums for some while now, not that you'd notice the 10 times...

Here's an alternative, how about you stop repeating this moan, moan, moan posting about what others post and what you think of the Labour party? What's the point in you bitching page after page when no-one takes any notice, least of all Corbyn and Mc Clusky? .

As always, this government will get overthrown as soon as it gets awful enough and then the people will choose any other one, just because it's different. .

I agree, probably 10 million readers. .

Very true and proven. Long ago Australia introduced compulsory cycle helmets and have the lowest rate of cycling of any country in the world. Little wonder , look at what the poor kids are expected to wear in that hot country: Like the little girl in the foreground:

And have also killed many, again I refer to the RRL. Their diligent research has shown that the speed at the body at which fatal internal injuries are caused by the seat belt averages 26 mph. That's why airbags were implemented as well, they are far better protectors and very rarely kill...

I'll add to my above answer by saying that effectively I do have the same views in practice. For the 30 plus years before that law was implemented I never wore a seat belt, despite most of my cars being fitted with them during that time. I also strongly objected to the compulsion. I've never...

The pool is much bigger than assumed though, all the over 800 in the House of Lords are eligible too, and some of them are pretty sharp. Certainly much more able than Priti Patel. .
