Naturalised, or documented and certified, your opinion and officialdom might differ. I don't intend to personalise this so no response is necessary.

... Trailor , turncoat, shure this only the wetness of the rain that makes the Irish so green. They may have more sun in Spain and only have rain on the plains, but what other small country could give you the four seasons including sun ,rain, sleet , storm's and snow on the same day!

.. not quite, as a French citizen you have the right to reside in some 27 countries in the future and 28 at present. You also (presumably), have rights of residence in a number of French dependencies in the Caribbean and elsewhere. Such freedom of movement, even if not excercised, is a major...

... Welcome to the world of global production. My raliegh clearly states Nottingham . The motor is Bosch, the brakes magura , the battery probably japanese cells, the frame probably made in China, the tyres and tubes German. ... I could start into a brexit related comment and how it might...

...Does that not say a lot?

... An article I read, by a well regarded clinical psychologist in Ireland divided people into optimists and pessimists. In it she accepted that the pessimists were actually more realistic and saw the world more as it is than hope. Optimists have conversely an unrealistic worldview, however it...

.... We are living in worrying times , . This is what happens when sentiment clouds judgement. As I say previously all opinions are not equally valid.

.. I see I am only in the halfpenny place, amputations, syrup of figs, if these are the price of success, i am willing to cheat. I think I'll just attach the bike to the car, drive it 50 miles and claim a 50 mile range.

... I m with you that 25km HR is fast enough. My Bosch Gives full assist up to 25 then progressively Less and less until that at a nominal 27 km HR there is no further assist.My highest speed (obviously without assist ) downhill 50km hr! My recommendation would be for the step through frame...

. Fair enough, I bow to your greater knowledge of the subject. My real point was that hydraulic rim brakes are lovely to use in comparison with earlier cable brakes . For on road use not mountain trails, they should be fine.

... It's not dissimilar to filling a big balloon with water through a hosepipe. The bigger the volume the longer it takes to fill as the charger or hose pipe only lets a fixed amount of electricity ( or water) through. When it gets close to full, it is like the elastic is stretching and less...

.. you pedal ??? What odd behaviour, and I thought I was broad minded

Rim brakes with hydraulics .. no problem I have these on the Motus . Strong smooth reliable braking. Think of it as just another spare you won't have to buy. The discs wear out more rapidly than the rim would.
