A worldwide probem and nothing to do with London. It's caused by people everywhere breeding and always has been. Anyway there's plenty of wilderness if we all spread out instead of crowding together. Each one of the 7.5 billion of us have 81,322 square yards of the earths surface, though...

The irritating thing is that they could just issue a waiver in the form of a letter to your Chief Police Officer, instructing them not to prosecute riders of pedelecs compliant with the Type Approval exemption (h) in 168/2013, pending forthcoming legislation. That way you could all ride...

Hi Ted. I've just had an email reply from Nichola Mallon which confirms the legislative change will not treat pedelcs as motor vehicles licence. So it seems at last N.I. can be sure of equal treatment to the rest of the UK:

Bicycle law applies all the time to a legal pedelec, whether switched on or off. But a pedelec has the additional pedelec riding law which is restriction of motor assistance to only up to 15.5 mph. You need to forget anything about being switched on or off since there is no pedelec rider law...

There are many on the slopes. .

No, no, no, no, no! If it's equipped to be an e-bike, IT IS NOT JUST ANOTHER BIKE WHEN SWITCHED OFF. It's an EAPC excused from motor vehicle law and only subject to bicycle law if conforming to the legal construction limits, WHETHER SWITCHED ON OR OFF. .

Yes there are a few areas that are unsuitable but the vast majority of our hilly areas are suitable. But as numerous examples around the world have shown, absolutely any land can be built on with our ingenuity. That's why we should stop building on land liable to flood or build with the right...

Precisely, it's much easier to build on the UK's hills than their mountains, but they manage ok. Switzerland has very little flat land, I still remember when they bought a number of Centurion tanks from us. There was nowhere in Switzerland that they could practice with them, so all their...

No it's just a lazy approach, taking the easy option. Most of the land is suitable as proven by many very hilly or mountainous countries, the access comes with the building and often the employment too. My whole 3000 home estate and the next one continuing from it are built on a series of...

You'd better let Switzerland know that they are doing it all wrong. .

Even in those less densely packed areas, we have a strange habit of building on low level ground like river flood plains and then getting upset when it floods. It's not as if we are short of higher ground in this country. .

You just are not getting it are you? It's about the machine, if it is capable of breaking the rules under rider control, it is always illegal on the road since it is a motor vehicle subject to motor vehicle law. Whether the motor is switched on or not is immaterial, because the law is not...

To be truly environmental and recycle properly, we need to demanufacture everything to return spent things to their origins as far as humanly possible, designing with that in mind and the whole cost of doing that included in the purchase price. That would put the brakes on the consumer society...

A principality can have separate and different laws, but until you get rid of the Prince of Wales your country will not have achieved true country status. Take no notice of what the HoC says, as you've acknowledged yourself they are all liars exploiting expediency. A principality can be a...

Not always. If it's capable of assisting at over 17 mph when switched on it is never a bicycle in law. Many drivers have been convicted of drunk driving after being found sitting in their parked car with the engine not running, even without the key in the ignition. If the key is in their...

I know that, but it's UDI. The independence has to be declared by the ruler, not the ruled. That declaration was like me declaring my home is no longer part of England but a separate country. At the investiture the Secretary of State of Wales read in the Welsh language the acknowledgment...

He's perhaps not as wrong as you might think. When kings made the laws, Henry the Eighth ruled that Wales was a principality of England, which is why there is a Prince of Wales. Long after when the British government tried to concede that Wales was a country, they omitted the removal of the...

He's blond, father and brother too. Luckily for them that is the only one of his traits that they share. .

Well what would you expect, Boris is a blond Arian. .
