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

    Far from it around here, we have a major problem with the young gathering in large groups now they are out of school. Just some examples from a single day. A crowd of over 20 teens gathered together and mucking about in a favourite spot of theirs. Another large number in a local nature...

    Definitely, they can achieve escape velocity much more easily. .

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

    Thanks, I won't be out here much anyway since that sort of walk isn't pleasant. I'll probably do as Neal intends when it all calms a bit, drive to somewhere really quiet in the country, park and then go for a walk. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We try too. At the end of my estate road we emerge onto Featherbed Lane, and not far away is North Pole Lane. Long ago I checked to see if Zlatan was in, but he wasn't. Another road is named Saltbox Hill. Yes you guessed, the hill is steep and it has a council saltbox. Some councils have...

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

    Some were as I described, but it was the two unexpected ones that caught me out and were unavoidable. The second had no retreat zone at all since I was by a wall on the other side of the 1.5 metre pavement from his van rear when he popped out. Our three storey flats hallways are a real...

    That's not very nice of someone to call you a swine. Could there be a forum member on the local council? .

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

    I've been out twice today too. In the storm a few weeks ago a can of emulsion from somewhere had somehow been caught by the wind and in flying through the air had left a trail of white splotches diagonally across my garage door, which is distant from my home. So taking advantage of the mild...

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

    I'm finding this very frustrating. Over the last 50 years I've always been in a position of helping others on my estate with all manner of things when they've needed it. But now I can't, simply because of my age meaning others should officially be helping me, not that I need it. This morning...

    It can be desirable if out of use for a long period, particularly at higher charge levels, but not for shorter periods. The refrigeration is advice from the Battery University, run by an industry expert, and the advice from Bosch that temperatures down to 0 degrees C extends life doesn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You still are not thinking, people travel according to their job times and they tend to be roughly the same traditional ones. London's commuting times are very long, generally at least an hour each way, often much longer. So even with a shift of just 8 hours the minimum day is 10 hours, but...

    Please think. He did not reduce the trains in advance, he reacted to the greatly reduced numbers by removing the empties. Khan is a people and welfare person, if the work times are changed to spread the travel times of the 10% left travelling, he'll put the trains back immediately. But of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Please read what I just posted, it's you who is getting things wrong through not knowing the situation. As ever it's people's fixed job times and shifts that create the crowding. That is where the solution exists, move job times so the offpeak trains can be run and used. There's only 10% of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's for the usual reasons, everyone travelling at the same time so crowded on the train at that time. The cuts are to the off peak trains and it wouldn't make any difference if they ran. The only solution to this is if all existing work shifts are staggered, rather than being at the usual...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The passenger numbers are down by 90% due to people working from home, so it would be foolish not to and risk more staff than necessary being at risk by being out. It wouldn't surprise me if the main line trains get affected too, since their passenger numbers are well down too. .

    Yes, that is correct, but not if it's taken in and out of such storage all the time. Only do it if it's to be unused for a very long period of several months. .

    Ah but the over 70s lived through the war, so there's no way a mere virus will defeat them. And the under 30s are in their own knife war which is a bigger threat than a silly virus. .

    You really are incredibly foolish. In a very short space of time since joining you've wrecked a number of threads and upset a number of members with your posting attitudes. Don't you notice how others don't agree with you? You've added to that by insulting me in an abusive manner, even having...
