    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're right, the warming has obviously been caused by Brexit. It's certainly got many hot under the collar in the UK and EU. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That article is utter nonsense, there is no such ban on use anywhere. No-one buying a new car considers whether new car sales will be banned in over 20 years time, which is the UK deadline 2040. Their use won't be banned beyond then, owners will be able to use them until they fall to pieces...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    UK car sales are over half a million down, thought to be due mainly due to economic uncertainty, but partly due to loss of diesel sales, though this compensated to some extent by an increase in buying petrol. Although hybrid and electric car sales are up, the totals are too small to have much...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You can hardly blame us. The worst news of all is Theresa May's government, and it only exists because of Brexit. .

    Charging Station For E-bikes

    I used to use multiple batteries, riding with two or even three, one in use and the other two one in each pannier. With today's larger batteries two would be plenty. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't say there was, I said he's in demand from advertisers, hence the high pay he commands to appear. Popular presenters don't come cheap. If the Beeb don't grab him and use any ordinary person, maybe Sky or ITV will take him with a rival program and take the Beebs audience. That's the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your link answers your questions. He's been voted Sports Personality of the Year because he is very popular with the public. And the public switch to programs with people they like in them. To get him they have to pay enough, he's in demand with advertisers; Walkers alone must pay him a small...

    Change of PSI changed my biking life!

    I've kept one on my 20" wheel folder, having fairly fat tyres. One cylinder pumps one enough from flat to ride home, but to get right up to pressure or for larger wheels, two cylinders are necessary. The speed is impressive, the tyre inflating instantly. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nope, I stick to the facts, not the propaganda. Established facts are what I started this thread with. .

    Full Throttle ebike legal again!

    No, this is a measure the DfT are allowing for mainland UK pedelecs that meet the necessary standards, without that additional bureaucracy. Such a throttle equipped bike cannot be legally taken into the mainland EU or Northern Ireland as a pedelec. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do like Boris, carry on insisting you're right, regardless of the facts. It still seems to make him popular. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's lack of cells. Huge numbers of police stations in London have been closed by cutbacks, in my own Borough, the largest in London where we used to have around a dozen police stations we now have one. With half a dozen cells that has to serve a fixed plus transient population of around half...

    Full Throttle ebike legal again!

    For all of this model rather than one bike only. Individual owners can submit their own bikes for one off approval if they meet the requirements. .

    Charging Station For E-bikes

    I also gave £100, twice, but the money wasn't returnable, at least some was spent in printing, mailers, window stickers for enlisted premises, travel costs etc. The problem was that the scheme was premature, far too few e-bikes in the country at the time. Even now they are still far too rare...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely, and they also showed what morons they are by gluing themselves to the DLR, an electric mass transport system that exists to solve climate change. They are the same rent-a-mob who long ago were hippies, who demonstrated against nuclear weapons, joined animal rights protests...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But he was right, the trade deal will take many years. The partially complete one between the EU and Switzerland took 7 years and that didn't include services, which are essential for us. This whole Brexit saga has many years to run yet. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If we ever get a working education system running in the UK, maybe: "Remain means Rectitude." With the present state of UK learning many would probably think it was saying Remainers are arse'oles. .

    Full Throttle ebike legal again!

    I'm guessing that's with the battery off, it's 22 kg with the smallest battery. So at 19 kg literally unladen weight, rather like an i.c. vehicle with no fuel in the tank. N.B. Crossed with Wisper's post. .
