    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly, and that will be the equivalent of a second referendum achieving Remain. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It will look bad for Leave whichever way it's decided for the ballot paper choices in any second referendum. Either Leavers boycotting in protest with No Deal excluded, many of them already saying they'll never vote again; or the Leave vote split by two leave choices being included. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But will parliament agree to a second referendum with No Deal on the ballot paper, given their overwhelming opposition to No Deal?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Since the choice will be May's Deal or Remain, I'm not so sure he'll welcome that. With parliament wholly opposed to it, the No Deal that Farage really wants can't be a choice on the paper. It's going to be tough for anyone to argue for May's Deal after the slating it's received for so long...

    Gtech. Sorry.

    Fingers, you love the G-Tech and particularly its light weight and simple single gear setup on your daily commute into the centre. So why not buy the same again for another three and a half years or so? By then you'll be heading for 68, at or very close to retirement with no further need to...

    When riding on the footpath should I.....

    Although I've agreed overall with your post, it's incorrect to say there has been a car centric agenda as the cause of lack of cycling. Post WW2 there were almost no cars left on our roads and the population mostly cycled or used public transport. The public's trend to motorisation began in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not so certain he's retained that popularity, the public are not completely stupid. They've seen how he disappeared when the referendum result was not what he expected. They've seen what a mess he made of the foreign secretary job, quitting at the earliest opportunity. Down here we've...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The administrators only did that since pedelecs.co.uk was getting terrible comments from the rest of the cycling media due to this thread dominating New Posts. It was harming this site in the cycling world. Getting hidden from the general public was just an unfortunate by product. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Thanks, I agree. Being so certain Remain would win they threw caution to the wind and came badly unstuck. What is genuine though is their knowledge of just how bad Leaving without a deal could be, is likely to be, and that scares them. Hence the breach of public trust. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Eddie, I had exactly the same thought some while ago and haven't discounted it at any time since. And not just due to this thread, a couple of his responses relating to my input elsewhere in the forum point the same way. Definitely possible, click the link...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Three years ago, many GEs have been closer together than that. Times change, things change, it's been found impractical to leave the EU as we much better informed Remainers told you in the first place. Now the majority of the electorate by a much bigger margin realise that and want to remain...

    Help! Lafree twist lite chainring

    The pair from Giant are definitely no good to you Stephen, they wont align to the motor sprocket, only the correct chainwheel will do that, andf there;s no mounting for rings on your bike. It seems Giant no longer have the spare for the Lafree, it doesn't surprise me since they ran out of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've never understood how Brexiters fell for this silly lie. EU members Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands and Finland among others trade very successfully throughout the whole world, using both EU trade agreements and WTO terms with non signatories. There's never been anything...

    Help! Lafree twist lite chainring

    As you know Stephen, the Lafree has a chainwheel, not chainring. The standard Lite chainwheel is 37 tooth, has a splined centre and is retained by a circlip. I've never heard of this kit and the Lafree never had a 28 tooth chainring and cannot have dual chainwheels, so I think someone has...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is how most feel, especially if they have children to leave money to. Some say they'd feel unsafe not owning their home, and the pride of achieving owning it after some 25 years of paying monthly makes losing ownership difficult. It's easier for me to do since I've always been opposed to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unfortunately the last organ to complete development in the womb is the lungs, incomplete in premature births and they rarely gain full growth afterwards. So working in a coal mine would probably ensure no need for any care, we'd just have to pay for their funeral. The trend is the other way...
