    Yes, plenty of experience of towing with e-bikes and most e-bikes can tow OK, the main thing to watch out for is the compatibility of the hitch to the e-bike in question. See this link .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It cannot be wrong, I used "mainly" and "rare", so didn't precisely define anything. I'm sorry your reply means you missed the 911 bus. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The uniqueness is in the way the victory was endorsed, enhanced and supported. No other country on the planet had these ongoing benefits, and that is what I object to since they led directly to the racist abuses they practice. That unique position could be rectified, leading to an end to the...

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    You can have the confidence that today is as good as you'll ever know it, since it continues the decline in quality since 1994. Even the magistrates courts have been affected, many now sitting with only two magistrates instead of three, that being due to a shortage of them. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    There's a different kind of truth in what you say. Where the Crown Prosecution Service have authorised a case but later realise it's going to be very difficult to prove, they often put their top barrister on it. They will even switch to a top barrister at the last minute, after the defendant...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really are a cussed chump. I have accepted the existance of that State where it is as legitimate, they won the right to be there by the accepted practice of warfare. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    It's as VFR400 says, our law does not function in anything like the idealistic way it's often portrayed as doing. Very far from it indeed, as the example given of Charlie Alliston's jailing for eighteen months shows. His only offence deserved no more than a small fine. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No you do not understand and not for the first time you interpret others posts into what you think they mean. I've made my meaning absolutely clear at length, but you cussedly refuse to accept it. I've also answered the question of the Israeli state's existence. Of course I accept it's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, you simply don't understand what I'm saying, which is not about the State's actions. Once again it's the nature of that State that causes the actions I'm challenging, not the actions themselves. The State of Israel exists, that is not in question, it's how it is able to exist as presently...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is a repeat of the questions answered in my previous post. I've explained why I dislike the State of Israel as it is constituted and supported. It's not about policies themselves but about why they come into being from a State set up in that way. Clearly you don't seem to understand the...

    Death of the derailleur?

    No, just pointing out there's other circumstances and other points of view. We are the last country to be thinking we know best about cycling, being almost the one country that cycling all but disappeared in the 1960s and '70s and why we are so sport biased with cycling now. Nor are we any...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice try. In fact the Israelis mainly only physically act beyond their local borders against nearby state's threatening actions. Their one military foray into Uganda's Entebbe airport was a rare exception to rescue terrorist hostages. However, some Jews may have ridden on Stagecoach's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That isn't true as I've explained with all the factors of the state disliked. Those factors make it almost impossible for that State to behave in internationally acceptable ways since they avoid all the normal restraints that most countries have. Whilst true that much of the abusive policies...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course we deny it, it simply isn't true and cannot be when so many Israeli citizens are strongly opposed to so many of their state's policies. I've explained why I dislike of the State of Israel and there's not a single anti semitic element in it. How can there be when the Israeli State...

    Death of the derailleur?

    Most of the world does have them, mainly single speed, but their view on what constitutes cycling is very different from yours. In Africa cycling is done on the flat and bikes not used in hilly areas. And in China as Wai Won Ching remarked when he said the Chinese were baffled by our...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, that is a reaction that includes your emotional values. There's nothing wrong with reporting cold unemotional facts. One day far, far into the future we may have AI robotic reporters who just give us the bare facts and a balanced selection of images, enabling us to apply our own emotional...
