    Thinking now is it all worth while ?

    a fairer comparison should be how a bike looks after 1000, 5000 and 10,000 miles. You may have a 30 year old Claud Butler in the shed but would it be a good donor bike for conversion compared to a £300 new bike?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's kinda funny to see the Express juxtaposing the word 'catastrophic' and 'no deal'. You are right, Boris is for turning.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For you, may be because you don't fly, don't have visitors, don't go to work and only shop for food. it's not the same for me and others during the lockdown. People don't fly into London, TfL asked for £ billions to keep afloat because tickets don't sell and buses run empty. Restaurants are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it is not perverse. London has many factors that make it the prime spot for Covid: large Chinese population, people use a lot more air travel and public transport, people live and work in confined spaces. Lockdown remove air travel, public transport and work in confined spaces. It's difficult to...

    Conversion kit for my Brompton

    I have a confession... I went for a test ride this morning, my Brompton was fitted with the new controller made for the Q70 328RPM... derestricted. It was so easy to hit 20mph in near silence. I am very pleased how the electronics performs. I quickly put the speed limiter back to where it was...

    I don't think that many of us have had it. the ONS did and still run their antibodies tests and come up with 6% of us having been infected. I think less than that.

    we all need to be tested. the symptoms are common well before Covid though.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    @ flecc the death rate that the Cambridge model is based on is not the best indicator of Covid 'R'. There was a lot to learn how to treat Covid, as death numbers were high at the beginning until the NHS found out that respirators are not the best treatment. Since, more people survived. If you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    because it's unlikely. I have pointed out for weeks that UK government claim of R (should really be called Re) is too low to be credible. It should be around 0.9. Most people cannot calculate R nor collect data to spot issues with government claims. Re changes with mitigation measures, therein...

    I am pleased that you do not support that article. So why should you get angry when I said the article may be fake news?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The ONS haved released their statistics based on antibodies testing. 54,000 are still catching Covid every week. 6% of the population has been infected. London will probably continue to have a higher than average new infection rate, not less. I believe in formulae. I can see you don't. The basic...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that would be a miracle. There was that eminent professor Devi Sridhar of Edinburgh University on Channel 4 News tonight. She put the rate of infected population in the UK at between 5% and 7%. There are some studies showing two out of 3 infections are asymptomatic, that puts the number of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wish you were right because that means I can go back to London again but I don't believe it's true. London has become like other cities after a few weeks into the lockdown. If you say 20% of Londoners has been infected, I may believe you. It has not attained the 80% herd immunity. Still a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    only for a limited time when the initial high infection rate saw a quick decline in early May. After two weeks of lockdown, London is becoming like other cities. The number of COVID deaths in London is still very much proportional to its share of population (12%). My contention is: '24' new...

    My torque sensor kit with seat post mount small frog battery on the Brompton: LCD on the handlebars: and how it's folded: To fit the TS kit, you will have to replace the bottom bracket with a new one 127mm axle (supplied). That's the only difficulty. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?tskit I...

    It has the same winding but I forgot to check on the test bike, now I have run out of batteries until 15-July so I can't confirm the noload speed to you until the new shipment arrives.

    Hi Boris, very similar to your 48V SWX02 but a little quieter. The main thing is it has a freehub body for cassettes.
