Brilliant complexity! At last someone else has a proper rear of wheel ball joint trailer coupling, I'm not the only one any more. And inboard trailer wheels too, another thing he must have copied from me. ;) I wonder what the bike weighs. .

They can't help but buy them as Autocar notes, even the small cars have got just as wide. Most "small" cars today are a struggle to fit into existing home's garages and still be able to get out of them. And worse still are large trucks and buses. Up until 1948 they had a maximum permitted...

And far too many cyclists too. I prefer to use the roads in a co-operative way and not use any device or means that obstructs others. Too often I hear or see expressions like "fighting for road space" or "battling with traffic", showing a questionable attitude. I say we share the roads and...

This is where I find the combination of an e-bike and a mirror that I use is perfect. With use it's easy to know when the driver will arrive at the parked car and I'm able to slightly regulate my speed to arrive at a fractionally different time. The e-power makes that easy to do at no cost in...

That's anti-social though, as Trevor remarks above, a problem in a traffic queue at lights etc. And there's many a driver of a scruffy pickup or truck who wouldn't be bothered about a scrape. The French version no wider than the cyclist that you illustrated makes more sense. .

I see both points of view, Benjahmin's and Ebiker99's. Where I live, drive and ride in and around London, having vehicles pass at a clear arms length is a bit of a luxury, since it's all too often impossible for them to leave the prescribed one and a half metres. The city would be near to a...

That's Stormont, their seat of government in Northern Ireland and closed with no assembly sitting for the last three years. They do things differently there! .

One woman there did go though all the procedure long ago and registered hers, so you may be the second to do it. A number of others there were very disapproving of her doing that, fearing that it would encourage the authorities to not bother to rectify the anomaly. .

Dangerous thinking perhaps? The first scrape on a powered two wheeler is all too often the last one ever. Safest is to buy something so expensive that you take great care never to damage it, and yourself in consequence. .

The BBC news covered it in full immediately, as they did with Ian Austin's semitic treachery, so at least they are impartial. .

I love the right hand headline. Apparently someone being stabbed to death near Harrods is especially heinous! How dare they! In Knightsbridge! .

Not for the first time since becoming PM. I'd long suspected he'd begin to break under the strain since he couldn't bluff or lie his way out of a PM's responsibilities as he'd done in most of his previous situations. All the signs were there when he was appointed Foreign Secretary and failed...

eRockit is only legal as a group A licence motor cycle in Germany, as in all Europe including here. The same as a Honda CB125 . .

There's no point to the pedals, in practice you won't be able to contribute anything as Wander has said. The motor will outrun anything you do, and if you don't use the motor the Rockit will be terrible to pedal. Very often the pedals on such as these are put there since in some countries they...

Definitely, and the exercising will be much more enjoyable when your doing it when you want to rather than having to do it regardless of how you feel. .

This is largely true, but the election outcome isn't necessarily a foregone conclusion. Remember how the consensus in 2017 was that Theresa May would substantially increase her slim majority, she, the party, all the pundits and much of the wider public felt sure of that. Instead the opposite...

That's me classified as a tramp then! Seriously there's no one answer for all circumstances and multiple colours can be unhelpful in urban circumstances where there's often a complex multiplicity of colours making up the background, in which a multicoloured outfit can get lost. Watch Moto GP...

Once again you seem to be advocating communism, a strange position for a Tory. People should be paid commensurate with their job in a free society. Socialism isn't an individual effort, it's method of governance of a society, and under it McCluskey would give through taxation what the...

You really do have weirdly distorted views. £140 k is a very low salary for someone who leads the 1.2 million member second largest union. The bosses pay he complains of is in millions a year with multi million bonuses. If he had a salary more commensurate with his post he wouldn't need a...

This is the difference between democratic Socialism and Communism that you don't understand. Democratic Socialism allows the freedom to have such differences, as it should in a free society. You seem to be thinking McCluskey should be subject to harshly restrictive communist principles...
